I have to say that I don't like Norah Jones' new look. Well, her new hair, anyway. Normally I find her just lovely, but the bangs? Personally, I thought she looked kind of awful on SNL.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I liked the bangs. Not so much the sweater.

Yep. Kim's the Aus-rock expert. Btw, I know you mentioned it, but did you send in your release form? I think you did. Btw, as a contributor you'll get a free book, but feel free to buy a few for your friends anyway.

Yep.
I have their album, and a 7" or two. They were OK, but I never loved 'em. I remember them as a second rate Birdman/NY Dolls styled outfit.
but did you send in your release form? I think you did.
Yes - last week.

tina, I heard the new Sufjan Stevens at Mod Lang this weekend. It sounded loverly, so I bought the previous Michigan one.
It was erinaceous who rec'ed Stevens. I haven't heard him yet... and forgot about him when I was music shopping this weekend darnit.
OK, I'm definitely going to see Wilco when they're here, because NELS F**KIN' CLINE JUST JOINED THE BAND!
I know! And I'm going to see them at their first live performance evah as a band. neener.
Jon - did you ever give Rilo Kiley's Execution another listen? If so, did it leave a good impression?

Funny you should ask! I gave it a quick listen at the radio station Thursday night and liked the first song enough to play it on my show this past Friday. I copied the CD and listened to it once over the weekend, but a friend was over and we were talking through it so I didn't get to really hear it. What I did hear, I liked well enough, but I need to really sit down with it.

Wow. I semi-kinda-influenced a BoC playlist choice! I feel all - influential. Yay. The first song is great - the third is uber mix-worthy, the sixth is the "soundtrack to your life" song on my Buffista frankenmix.
Speaking of - Blake Sennett's (the guy singer in RK) new side-project band - The Elected - debut is pretty interesting. Has a very unique mix of synth-y Postal Serivce-esque (Jimmy Tamborello of the PS produced two tracks) songs and quite a bit of straight up folksy alt country stuff. Some tracks are phenomenal, but it is not a great album beginning to end.
I love the Thank You's on the liner notes - Sennett sounds VERY much like E Smith and there is a long thank you to him that is very sweet.

Thbbbt back atcha. I bought tickets for one of the Austin shows. I wasn't going to, just because they're damn expensive, but what the hey, I loves me some Nels Cline & can't wait to see what he does with the Wilco catalogue.
