I'm taking the ensuing silence as a "yes." To that end, I'm going to try to meet Jon tonight for some beer & music. AND I'm going to try to catch the SXSW showing of Jandek on Corwood.
I woke this morning to this report on NPR.
'War Stories'
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.

I hate Real Audio. What's the gist of the story, Hayden? Real guy or someone's schtick? Speaking of Irwin Chusid, my friend George just got back from Europe where he was touring w/ the Chusid-organized Raymond Scott Orchestrette.
Real guy, real strange. I like him, but he's definitely an acquired taste.
I skipped Jandek on Corwood so I could hang out with Jon B. Last night's SXSW roundup: Che Arthur, The Narrators, a bit of Subset, and Minmae. I was planning to kick back at a Li'l Cap'n Travis show before hitting MF Doom and Atombombpocketknife, but the club was packed out, and I was tired and near my car, so I just came home.
Oh, also, I was offered and accepted a new job this morning with the Legislative Budget Board of Texas, so I'll be superbusy this time next year.
Congratulations.
On a successful SXSW day, of course, though the job sounds pretty cool too ;-).
Big Congratulations hayden! Does that mean no more trips up this way?
Thanks, y'all! Yeah, Heather, I don't know what sort of conferences the new job will send me to, if any. But the Dallas conference was moved to Austin this year, anyway (it was last week).
Pthththththbb.
I din't wanna buy you a beer anyway.
No really, congratulations LBB is pretty cool.
I went out to see a local singer/songwriter I like Heather Eatman . One of her tracks is on my mix.
and then stayed and heard Angela McClusky who BLEW ME AWAY! I'm buying her album today. There are some tracks up on that link. There some Marianne Faithful in her voice, nice band backing her. According to the site, she'll be at SXSW on Friday.
I din't wanna buy you a beer anyway.
Heck, I'll buy you one next time you make it down this-a-way.
Hey, Msbelle! We just had some pictures developed on an old camera & there's one of me & you that I'll have to send you.
