My cousin was a big participant in that camp, and now teaches at it. It's pretty awesome.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Here is our engladdening summer song for today: "Glad Girls" by Guided by Voices.
It will cheer you up.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That is an engladdening song!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I love that their first idea was to be an Alan Parsons Project cover band.

This seems to be the source of the Turds of Misery bio. A thousand other blogs and websites have already quoted from it as though it's gospel, but I can't help reading it as a joke the writer made up. I mean, I'm sure the photo is legitimate, but I'm suspicious of the bio.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Last night I had a dream that Jonathan Richman and I were interviewing Joanna Newsom and M. Ward, but we had forgotten to bring a tape recorder. I didn't know much about their music, so I think mostly I talked to Joanna Newsom about fairy tales.

So I really like Joshua Ellis, because he did this album, and covers & remixes like these, and has written for Coilhouse and basically, he is one hoopy frood. He's now working on a project called Dbasr:
Dbasr is a free, open-source content management system for musicians and other rich media artists. Like Wordpress for bands, but better.
He just started putting info up today, but there's a list of features & a dev blog here: [link]
He is of course looking for cash, because that is always helpful, but he is also looking for feedback/input, and help spreading the word. And since you are clever people who like music and tech and having opinions (heh), I thought some of you might be interested.
So... there? (I probably need to work on my pimpage skillz.)
