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.
Oh, man. That makes me so happy, Jon.
D vs E is on Amazon for $7.99.

Best merkin video ever!
Holy cow! My friend and his wife were at this concert [link] but missed the drama because she had to pee. She said that the head of hospital emergency was in the front row too.
RIP, Charlie Louvin. He's risen to meet his savior in the air.

2. Mr. Toro, you sweet sweet enorm-handed control freak...
3. Yes, Frankie, you did use the dead mic for non-screwing around reasons that one time. Congratulations.
D just asked me to proofread a letter he's sending to a locally famous band we used to follow around, asking for advice on our housemate's band (who he has just been asked to manage). I said, "Is the tone you're going for 'casual and kind of goofy'?" D says, "yes because they are in fact casual and kind of goofy."
I wondering if you musical vets out there have any general advice for a band just starting out and specifically, is it worthwhile to play clubs that charge you a booking fee and pay back a percentage of the gate?
