Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I saw Merritt do an in-store at Amoeba, just him with an acoustic guitar. Man, you haven't lived until you've seen him sing "Come Back From San Francisco" in San Francisco.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I'm really regretting not seeing them tour for 69 Love Songs when it came out....

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this (no) but I'm going to ask on my mom's behalf anyway. She's got a bunch of LPs she wants to digitize. She thinks this process should be more automated than it has been in my experience. Is there anything out there that will digitize an LP and handle the editing for you as well?

In my own experience, I can digitize but I can only record as many minutes as I have free RAM space. Which usually ends up being about 10 min. Then I have to stop, name the file, save it, and start recording again

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Spidra, there are lots of audio programs that record direct to the hard drive (thus bypassing any RAM limitations). I'd be shocked if Audacity did not do this. I've heard of programs that attempt to do the editing by listening for silence in the recording, but I've never tried any of them.

ION, any Bay Area indie-pop music fans not busy Wednesday night should head on over to the Rickshaw Stop to see two great bands. I've seen both of them and can't recommend both highly enough.

Eux Autres are francophiles living in SF by way of Portland, OR, by way of Nebraska. "The band sounds like the unrequited love song Doug Martsch would have penned for Francoise Hardy, had the time/space continuum conveniently collapsed." Here's a cute & bittersweet video: [link]

Allo Darlin' are from the UK although the singer/songwriter/ukulele-ist is originally from Australia. They write love songs about cooking and Woody Allen films. The burly bass player jumps up and down while the rest of the band sings "Sha-la-la". Here's a video.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There are rumors going around that Reg King of The Action has passed away.

Now Vince Noir truly is the King of the Mods.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I saw Merritt do an in-store at Amoeba, just him with an acoustic guitar. Man, you haven't lived until you've seen him sing "Come Back From San Francisco" in San Francisco.

He did the music for the Coraline musical that's going up at SF Playhouse next month.

Just a guess, but the leather jacket makes me think of their Hamburg days....
