Mal ,'War Stories'
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.
Be nice if I had money, natch.
AND he's playing at that shindig next Friday night (the 14th) -- let me know if you can come up for it!
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.

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.
Oh yeah, and CD Baby threw in a compilation of bands from their site titled:
Depressed? Stay Depressed. With thirteen tracks of moody melancholy bands.

That's awesome. I love CD Baby. I've got Wake Up UP UP! (just a variety of good bands) and No Words, Just Music (the title kind of says it all).

Oh! He is also the subject of Kelly Hogan's great "Sugarbowl," on her recent Because It Feel Good -- they were co-workers, and good friends, back in her Jody Grind days. Is the CD good? Because I love the song -- it's one of the few in which Kelly really lets it rip vocally on the record, and it's quite moving as well.
Hey there, sugarbowl
My little Miss Solid Gold
You were always a lady just like a lady should be
I know times were bad
But looking back inside my head
The mountaintops are all that I can see.
