Angel ,'Not Fade Away'
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.
On May 4, 2012, nearly 25 years to the day, Barone reassembled the original quartet and recreated the "Cool Blue Halo" album in its entirety, along with very special guests and added songs, at City Winery.
WHY WAS I NOT THERE???????????????????????????????????????????
(Thank you, Jon B.!)
You are welcome!
Tom - I have a digital file version of the film. We could use dropbox or somesuch to transfer it. It's about 1GB though.
Okay, I was not there, but this makes it almost as good as [link]
Hi. Have I ever mentioned that Cool Blue Halo is one of the few non-Cohen albums I cannot live without?
Is Cocksucker Blues worth seeing?
It would worth it because a screening can only be done if Robert Frank is present. Is he going to talk about it?

It's the sixth anniversary of The Black Parade being released. It doesn't feel like six years.
WTF no way. I shall go home and salute my Ray Toro mask, and listen to The Black Parade is Dead.
I forgot I share a birthday with The Black Parade! Awesome. Guess I know what Rosie and I will be listening to on our drive home tonight.
My 90 year Mom read Edgar Allan Poe's "The Bells" for a Halloween event. If you are looking for some Poe to read for Halloween that is a little less widely shared than "The Raven", I highly recommend. Some people say it is hard to read, but if you avoid the 20th and 21st century tendency of reading poetry as prose, and deliver it rapid fire and embrace the rhythm and syncopation and alliteration it is actually fairly straightforward. One of the young people listening said it was 19th century rap, and really she had a point. It is almost a week yet to Halloween, and if anyone knows Goth rapper who would be interested maybe they could make a youtube of themselves reading "The Bells" rap style. I think I will xpost to music.

I am generally not a fan of dick-size jokes, but this line from The Monochrome Set's "J.D.H.A.N.E.Y" cracks me up:
He had a twelve-incher
But never used it as a rule
