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!
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!
Be nice if I had money, natch.

I'm still waiting to hear on a ride. One of my friends had to take his car home, and the other already had plans, so I put a request on the ride share board, and we'll see if it comes through.
Both Alias and The O.C. have played Damien Rice this year.

C'mon say it! Fickt nicht mit der Haydenmensch!!
Listening to The O'Franken Factor. They're doing the "audio crawl," their version of the "crawl," the text that scrawls along the bottom of the screen on cable news with headline updates. The joke of course being that this being radio you have two overlapping audio tracks. Not sure if it would be funnier if I could hear it w/o thinking of the Firesign Theatre and imagining the audio crawl yelling "Bohunk!"

You know I was thinking it. Have you seen this: [link]
Just got my second order from CD Baby. I need to stay away from there for a while, but I got:
Clare Fader - The Elephant's Baby (Kurt Weill style cabaret. Might have to include "The Wine" on the wedding dance tape).
The Siam Cats - neo psych garage, but with a great neo-glam song, "Cheetah."
Bela - goth plus late Beach Boys. What a concept. Sounds good though.
Smoke - Benjamin Smoke. Subject of documentary. Very Tom Waitsian music from Transvestite from Georgia.
You can hear samples of all of them at the CD Baby website.
