Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Someone described it as a nice followup to Coldplay.

I keep reading that, but I'm not hearing the Coldplay so much. Coldplay has a very different sound, in my mind. When I first listened, I thought of Death Cab with a little harder edge. It's not as ethereal as Coldplay; it's much more rock-oriented with the chugging guitars and whatnot. But hey, I love Coldplay, so I would take that as a compliment.

Mmmmm. Death Cab.

Yeah, like I said, I'd love to hear 'em.

Anyone else listen to Damien Rice?

Everyone has been recommending him to me, but I have only heard his cover of Radiohead's "Creep".

As much as Coachella sounded HORRIBLE in the practical sense (can you even *imagine* the lines for water and bathrooms?) that Pixies' set sounds like a million and one fantasies I've had of seeing them again everytime I listen to my BBC recordings discs...

So - are they just doing the *one* Lollapalooza date in NY or a bunch of them? Goddamnit if I am not effing tempted to buy Lolla-freaking-palooza tickets. Modest Mouse, Flaming Lips, Sonic Youth, Polyphonic Spree, Morrissey. But uggggh just the thought of an expensive, crowded music festival at our local horrible-sound-system-having ampitheatre. We'll see.

SA - the only thing I know of Damien Rice is that he is Irish. And one of my beloved teensoapoperas on the WB or Fox played him once and I thought he sounded like Ryan Adams.

Also - Dave and Tim are on their way to you! I know...it is hard for me to believe, too.

Similar, but more...raw, and less whiny. I like him a lot. You can listen to a couple tracks at his website; you used to be able to download stuff, but I guess they cut that.

Shiny!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

SA -- new Jamie Cullum CD comes out next week, IIRC.

AND he's playing at that shindig next Friday night (the 14th) -- let me know if you can come up for it!
