He's not on any of the Real Kids records I have. Are you confusing him with John Felice, who fronted the Real Kids (and was a Modern Lover for a time), or was Ernie only briefly a member?
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

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 know John Felice was in both. I could be mistaken but I thought Ernie played with Real Kids at one point. Maybe only live?

I found this ridiculous grid - [link] - and Ernie's not listed, but you may still be right.

I just finished reading Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the Rise of Indie Rock. I really enjoyed it, especially when he describes what the scene was like in the late 70s and early 80s, when Ira was writing for New York Rocker, and he started hanging out at Maxwell’s.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Thanks. That's being delivered to my iPad right now.

Speaking of eBooks, anyone read Talking Heads' Fear of Music (33 1/3)?

I'm about halfway through it and loving it. Should have finished it a while ago, but I got sidetracked by something else.
I will add that Fear of Music is my favorite T Heads album, though it's not necessarily their best (More Songs... or Remain in Light, I think).

Thanks, Frank. That's now on my iPad as well.
Buying eBooks is just so damn easy since I bought my iPad that I just can't stop buying more. Sorta' how you can't just eat one Lay's potato chip.

I'd have a hard time picking between Fear of Music and More Songs About Buildings and Food for my favorite Talking Heads album. Remain in Light would be my third fave.
I love all their albums up to (but not including) Naked. That one's just OK, although I do love "(Nothing But) Flowers." Even their live albums are great.

Yeah, I'm a huge TH and David Byrne fan. I think I would buy an album of him singing the phonebook.

David Byrne sends me emails.
OK, I'm just on his mailing list.
