Closed Threads

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Freaked me out when they played the set of ads at one of our employee assemblies.

You have assemblies? Man, just ascend already.

My reactions to various commercial co-options:

"Revolution" - Beatles for Nike: "I don't think that's the revolution he was talking about.'

"Pink Moon" - Nick Drake for VW: "Cool."

"Search and Destroy" - Iggy Pop for Nike: "Holy Shit! Vomiting!"

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It's worse. They call them "Town Meetings".

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

My reactions to various commercial co-options:

"Do You Realize" - Flaming Lips for some car or another, "Do you realize that everybody you know dies in the next line?"

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

There's also a second volume which I haven't heard: Verve Remixed 2

I think I iTunes'd a track off this- a remix of 'Whatever Lola Wants'. It's fantabulous.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

Where's Tina? I found a song I think she'd REALLY like -- "Star, Star" by the Frames. I like both the studio version (which is on Emusic) and the live version (which I found on some mp3 blog or another, which led me to go look for the studio version, and which picks up a bit of "Pure Imagination" in the middle, to tremendous crowd approval). Anyway, I think she'd like it. I do. It's kinda Sufjan-y, kinda Wilco-y.

In other random new music news, I am really enjoying the new Magnetic Fields.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Hey, Erinaceous:

I am so in love with a country-western cover of Snoop's "Gin and Juice" by a band called The Gourds. Has anyone else heard it?

The Gourds are an Austin band including Max Johnston, the former go-to guy in Wilco & Michelle Shocked's brother. Their website: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Over the weekend, I heard a folk-y cover of "Little Red Corvette" that ROCKED MY WORLD. FYI.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

The Gourds are good!

Max Johnston's "Harlan," which he recorded during his brief stint with Freakwater, is one of my favorite songs.

I need to hear this.

It was live, Lilty, but I will be keeping my eye out for a recorded version, oh yes I will.
