"DUDE -- fucking HANDEL, man! Did you hear that shit???"
Or as PrestonfuckingSturges put it, "Fucking nobody handles Handel like you fucking handle Handel!"
'Sleeper'
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.

Angus turned me on to Justin's album, much to the mockage of my friends and relations. "Cry Me A River" was on my end-of-year mix, and I stand by it, too.
Angus has forced me to love "Cry Me a River". But in a way where it never fails to crack me up whenever I hear it. I find it over the top and hilarious.
Angus rules. I miss Angus.
Preston Sturges used foul language?
Very cool about the Chusid quotage. Did he mention my Jandek review? I only ask because of his legendary (to me and three other people, at least) hatred of Jandek.
And thanks for the further Miles discussion, Joe. You should write that up (and expand it a bit) for the High Hat.
So, what happened to Angus?

Apparently, he got a "job" and is "busy." What's up with that?
What? That's insanity! The bastard!
Quick drive-by YIPPEE note to tina f:
The Wilders are coming to my backyard next month! They'll be playing at Bean Blossom, on the same stage Bill Monroe played. Can't wait.

My current plan is to avoid this at all costs. I decided that today. It is 84 freaking degrees and they are opening up my apt. pool. Screw looking for a job!!

FUN!! Have a great great time. I first heard them when they played at a co-workers wedding several years ago. The couple had met at Winfield and wanted a band from stage 5 (unofficial campground stage) to play at the reception. Good times. No body plays the fiddle like Betse - who is an amazing walking archive of American folk music.
(Side story: Last year at Winfield we were walking back to our campsite after seeing the Wilders and a friend mentioned that Betse was a degreed musicologist and someone else said that old-timey bluegrass fiddlers shouldn't be called anything that technical. We couldn't decide which was a more appropriate title for her: a "remember-whener" or a "looker backer".)
SO. Wilco did cancel the first 8 dates of their tour.
Hayden - I can't remember if your show was before or after May 1. Everything after May 1 is supposedly still on. But not my show.
I'm kinda sad - but I am going on the camping trip I planned around it anyway - and I just hope that Jeff gets better.
A pox upon the house of the poster who put "Dizzy" in my head. I hate that song an awful lot.
