Willow ,'Showtime'
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 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....
The Cheap Suit Serenaders play only 1 gig a year and it's in Berkeley. Tickets are available for their 2011 gig. It usually sells out. [link]
Thanks, Jon. I hope I can find something other than Audacity. The interface for that was anything but intuitive the last time I tried it.
Yeah, he's still got the leather and has acquired the bangs... makes me think Hamburg too.
Great piece on Liz Phair: [link]

I didn't know about Fred and Rosemary West (subject of the Interpol song "Evil"). That's very fucked up. I can't imagine what it's like to be one of the surviving children.
Huh, I love that song, and I had no idea that's what it was about. The title makes more sense now, that's for sure.
I have that Interpol album but I'd only listened to it once. Now I've listened to it again and I really like it. So, yay! The End.
