I bet Bob dug that.
He did, I think. He was a little bemused but nice.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

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.

funny the stuff you can find on the internet. what i really want now is a list of all the bands that opened for REM on their various tours so I can jog my feeble brain.

Heh. I know that thirdave guy (from lisah's poster link). He used to go see The Pee Wee Fist all the time.
Did you know Stamey toured with Alex Chilton for a year?
Doesn't surprise me -- I've got that "Summer Sun" 7" (one of the best opening sound effects ever).
The Bible of Bop (Kimberly Rew backed by Softboys, dBs and Waves).
"Stomping All Over the World" -- One of the great forgotten powerpop tunes.
Happy Birthday bicyclops! I did'nt realize you were quoting the Beatles and meaning it all literally. We also share a birthday with Kurt Cobain, Patty Hearst, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Robert Altman.

t Looking at the poster
I saw Husker Du and Soul Asylum on that same tour. They did a pair of shows at the Paradise in Boston. It was those shows that made me realize, gee, I really ought to get earplugs. I remember not being able to hear anything well into the next day (I was on the radio the early the next morning and only got a few hours of sleep).

Trifecta!
Also, Hec, you know that the Decemberists are at the Great American Music Hall next Saturday (2/28)?

I did not! I may be all night finishing the book on that date, however.

But it's a leap year! It's like the end of Daylight Savings but you get a whole extra day!

I know but...book not done. Must be done by end of month. I don't know, I expect we can turn it in on Monday, March 1st rather than on a Sunday.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Wait, Kid Congo Powers was in the Gun Club AND The Bad Seeds?
Isn't that Psychotic Goth Blues overkill? To bad Tom Waits (or PJ Harvey) never tapped him - he'd have a trifecta there.
Also, hippo birdies to bicyclops (and Giles - sheesh, Jon B shares a rarified b-day).

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Happy belated Jon B and bicyclops!
Now, I know we've covered the "no such thing as a song you're embarrassed to like" thing before, but I'm working on a mix of cheesy-but-you-love-'em songs, and I'm finding that it's mostly disco. Do you think that's just my cultural remove from disco, or something inherent to the musical style?
I think that what is happening is that 'cheesy' is turning into 'without self-consciousness or irony' for the purposes of this mix.
Some songs that I think will make it: Sundown (yes, I'm obsessed with this song now), Best of My Love, Strawberry Letter, Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody (Louis Prima, but only because I don't have the DLR version, which I wish I did), and Sweetness (yes, Yes).
