Did Mark ever send you a CD, Jon?
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.
Nope. I did play a couple of songs on the radio directly off of Bandcamp's streaming.
Thanks, man! I'll send you one myself.
Sweet! In other news, this made my week:

Glenn Tilbrook: What's up with the face fungus?
Ryan's favourite song of the moment is the Whitlams' "No Aphrodisiac". For all that it is a phenomenal song, I'm pretty sure there's a parenting fail in there somewhere.

Oh, that is sad. Damn.
His autobiography, This Wheel's On Fire, is one of my favorite books written by a musician (up there with Marianne Faithful's memoir). Incredible stories about growing up in the Delta, sneaking in to see Sonny Boy Williamson sing on the King Biscuit Hour at the local radio station, and see Elvis playing in tent shows. Great stuff about how The Hawks came together, the original Arkansas lineup, and then how they slowly became a Canadian band (plus him). Right up through recording Big Pink in Woodstock.
I'm sorry to lose him, of course, but he lived about fifteen lifetimes worth of adventures.
