Migraines. Have you seen the YHF making of movie? He pukes in one scene (sober) and says he throws up almost every day from migraines and has since he was little.
I know. I'm really sad for him.
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.

Oh, I'd forgotten about his migraines. That sucks.
I am Trying to Beak Your Heart is a great documentary.

I just rented the DVD - and if you haven't - you should. The deleted scenes and extras is like having a whole sep. movie. Especially the uncut solo performance of Jeff's.
Ooh, ooh, Pixies at Bumbershoot. Ooh.
Ooh, Ooh! Matthew Sweet. I have much love for "Girlfriend" and "100% Fun." Such great albums, both.
So -- Franz Ferdinand. (The musical group, not the dead archduke.) What do we think? Like? Dislike? Indifferent?
Really rather like. Quite a lot.
11/11 - Minneapolis MN
That's a First Avenue show if I've ever heard of one. Hmmmm, and it looks like I'll be available. Hmmmmm.
I like Franz Ferdinand and a friend of mine went to see them on the strength of my liking them and had a really good time.
There was a good interview with Patti Smith on Morning Edition.

The Shaggs Symposium: Saturday, April 17, in Chicago
Saturday, April 17th at 6:00pm
The Old Town School of Folk Music and The Lookingglass Theatre Company
Present The Shaggs Symposium
Admission: Free
Dot, Betty and Helen Wiggin are three musically talentless sisters who, in order to fulfill their late grandmother's prophesy, were forced by their domineering father to drop out of high school and form an ill-fated pop rock band. Their debut album, Philosophy of the World, was completely ignored upon its release in 1969, but was later rediscovered by Frank Zappa, who proclaimed them "better than the Beatles." Rolling Stone magazine gave them the title "Comeback Band of the Year" in 1980, and the trio is now celebrated as a cult classic of pure naïve badness. Join us for a discussion on The Shaggs, and the new Lookingglass Theatre musical production, "Philosophy Of The World", based on their lives and music. Panelists will include Lookinglass Theatre's Joy Gregory and David Catlin, The Chicago Tribune's Rick Reger, and freelance music journalist Bill Meyer.
