You know that Marshall Crenshaw is playing in the DKT/MC5 touring band, right?
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

Mark Arm, Evan Dando and Marshall Crenshaw? That's a goofy lineup.

Mark Arm makes total sense. The other two -- NSM. I'm debating if I want to go to the Cambridge show (and I can get in for free -- I'm so fucking jaded).

I downloaded "My Idea" from Evan Dando's last album. God help me, it's really really good, in a solid singer-songwriter tune sort of way -- actually, there is something Crenshawian about its vibe, now that I think of the connection. It's very difficult to reconcile this with my fond memories of the zine Die, Evan Dando, Die.

Evan's written some good pop tunes and the recent album isn't bad on the whole.
But playing with the MC5? I. Don't. Think. So.

Arm makes sense with the MC5 - no question.
And Doug Gillard thinks Marshall is a very underrated guitarist. I'm sure he can crank it up. It all just seems...odd.

Oh, I missed that somehow. Heh. No, Evan Dando does not now, nor has he ever, kicked out the jams, motherfuckers.

Ha! I seriously doubt that Dando could sport a White Panther 'fro, too.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Hayden, I'm really enjoyed the "Air We Breathe" mix. Do you have liner notes on it?

Nope, 'cause it's outside the chain-o-love. To tell you the truth, I don't even remember what's on it, and, since my home computer is dead, can't look it up. I'd be glad to make some up, though, right here & now, if you're willing to post the track listing.
And hey! I'm glad you like it.
