You have assemblies? Man, just ascend already.
It's worse. They call them "Town Meetings".
Gunn ,'Underneath'
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.

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?"
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.
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.
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]
Over the weekend, I heard a folk-y cover of "Little Red Corvette" that ROCKED MY WORLD. FYI.
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.
Jesse! You went to the Prince Loser's Lounge! How was it? Please, please, make them extend it another weekend ...
I realized that I have ANOTHER Gourds song on my iPod, "El Paso," from the Oxford American CD which I also love. I think more Gourds are in my future.
