(tina, I hate to bug you about the mix trade, but do you have Jon's CD yet? I'm sure SXSW has slowed things down a bit upstream from me.)
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

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.

No worries LJ - I don't have Jon's mix yet. I think that guy who is about to get married and just finished his book still has it. Not that I am pressuring him or anything.
pokes Hec
Seriously though - I'm not bugging you, Hec - Lyra Jane is!!
kidding kidding.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Actually, SXSW provided a convenient opportunity for me to pass on meara and Anne's mixes to Hayden.

Thanks, Tina. No need to poke Hec by proxy, I will poke him directly: Wedding shmedding, book shmook. We want mix CDs!
ION, I saw the Decemberists last night. They played this new 20-minute song cycle thing called "The Tain."
That band is much better than one would expect them to be. They could so easily be a novelty act or insufferably pretentious, and yet ... they aren't.
And "Red Right Ankle"? Solo, acoustic? Almost broke me.
Opening act was this glam-ish britrock thing called Clear Lake. Anyone heard of them? I thought they were good, but not SO good that I needed to buy their CD.

Hey Jon - when I was the music store just now I saw that Young People CD w/the song on your 2003 mix on it used. I know that song is a cover, but I like it and am wondering how good the whole album is? Worth $9?
And yes, soon I will have just about every album from that mix.

Ooh, foxy. (Though both of them pretty much could have just HANDED me the CDs directly. But that wouldn't do much for Hec or Tina way over yonder in those other time zones.)
Why am I so hyper today?

Woot! LJ has given me the strength to pester. Get to the post office Hecubus!!

I'm sending today actually. I wanted to throw in an extra CD for tina.
Which I am! I'm sending you Teenster a compilation put out by my friend Judith Beeman who put out the Big Star zine Back of a Car.
Teenster has a bunch of US and Canadian bands doing music in the style of seventies pop - so kind of a glam/gum/powerpop thang. But really fun and cool, plus stickers. It's got Mitch Easter, Shame Idols, Yuji Oniki, Anton Barbeau and a bunch of other bands you never heard. I found it super cheap at Mod Lang, and I already have a copy but I thought you'd like it. It's good music for the roller rink (almost exactly what our book launch party at the roller rink for the Bubblegum Book sounded like).

Stickers! Shiny!
Thanks Hec. Sounds great.
wonders if there is a roller rink in KC

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's got a great glam cover of "Roxy Roller" (written by Nick Gilder when he was in a Canadian glamish band named Sweeney Todd). Mitch covers "Gimme Gimme Good Loving" - a bgum classic. And the originals include titles like "Ono Box," "Skating Rink," "alt.sex.trouserpress" and "cosmic planet rock."
Jon would like it since he's a fan of Velvet Tinmine.
