I know of at least two of my friends whose excellently written proposals were rejected. One of my friends is on the list (Daft Punk's Discovery). So Robin, was that XTC album that made it Jason's?
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yes, Hec is right! Jason says thanks to you both for being inspirations.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm preeeeetty sure I'm our only bandomy fan who likes LeATHERMØUTH, but this Jersey Beat interview with Frank is fantastic. There is audio to download if you click right above "Deb Draisin"
(Don't worry, no music) [link]

Wait, is there really a thing through the O? That's why Frank's so cranky! Obviously a moose bit his sister!

Moosebite explains a LOT.
I've been to five of their shows now (well, one was a launch party in a record store so it was a little less raucous) and it gets real primal in there... lots of good clean rage releasing and I spend the next few days feeling like I've had a massage. [link]
My second favorite part of the interview is when Frank says that if there were no bands he'd make music drumming on a rock.
(My favorite part is that at about 7:56 and 10:45 you hear Toro play and laugh. Because I am that girl.)

For the Venn diagram where Bowie fans intersect with Avatar fans, I'll share Emmett's comment while watching the climactic battle between Azula and Zuko in Sozin's Comet: "Azula was who David Bowie was writing about when he wrote 'Queen Bitch.' He knew what he was talking about - oh yeah."
