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.

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

Oh Miss Erin? Are you feeling better enough to schlep to Lawrence Kansas on a Sunday night?

tUB rING will be playing. And I love them. I love them. I love them so. www.myspace.com/tubring

The first time I saw them they were opening for LeATHERMØUTH and Mindless Self Indulgence. They had toured with Mindless before, but not much of the crowd really knew them. They started playing and within a minute the place went INSANE.

The second time I saw them was the next day. I bummed a ride with a friend to the next show, missed the headliner so I could catch the last train home, and went to work on Monday on three hours sleep. TOTALLY WORTH IT.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I was about to send this to my mom, thinking someone had posted it here when I realized she had sent it to me. Score one for Mom! Piano greats.

I just found The Proclaimers cover of "King of the Road" in our itunes. It's so darling I want to bite my toes. It's pretty faithful to the original version but the accents are at the same time so beautiful and so wrong.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

And I hope everyone saw this by now.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I heard about that on YouTube NPR. How cool!

What mainstream term would one use to categorize Violent Femmes? Alternative Rock?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

College Rock? Post-Punk?

I don't think the term "Alternative" was in use during their heyday....

I think I've heard them labeled as Folk-Punk back in the day.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What mainstream term would one use to categorize Violent Femmes? Alternative Rock?

Close enough. You could also go for American Indie.

This is for current college students.

I'm working on a new song feature for a 2010 textbook and the first chapter is about Louise Attaque and I want to say their name comes from the fact they are fans of the [musical genre] group Violent Femmes.

American Indie is probably good, because it also reflects that what was called "alternative" in the 80s and 90s was called "indépendant" in France.
