I've pimped them before, but Wild Flag were on Letterman last night and were very very good. [link]
I concur. I really like the album a lot.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

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.

It's my new favorite.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, any good Chumbawamba albums besides Tubthumper?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Really disappointed in this year's Best of Bootie. No one track really stands out for me, and I get the impression that they're more interested in showing off their deejay mixing skillz than crafting songs.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have something very unexpectedly in common with Rachael Ray. From her AVClub interview (my italics):
*******
AVC: What’s your favorite recent memory from one of those parties?
RR: You know, everybody that plays is just so different that it’s really hard to... it’s too hard. Because I mean, I love G-Love, and if G-Love’s just with his guitar and he makes up a song with my name in it at the little house that we have for singers and songwriters, that’s a moment. On the other hand, if you have like, Fitz And The Tantrums and everybody gets down in the mud and does the turtle, that’s another moment. And that’s what I love about having really eclectic lineups. And you know, seeing the New York Dolls a couple years back, huge. Huge! Like one of my favorite bands of all time, you know?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Random musical thing I learned recently: Apparently Adele's Someone Like You is the only song to hit #1 in the US with just vocals and piano. Huh.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I started working on that song for that reason, although I didn't know that stat. It's a great song, but I feel so sad when I hear her stuff already. Hopefully she'll come to a full recovery, but she sure is a cautionary tale for my vocal students who tend to ignore my advice.
