My pleasure! Especially if you're enjoying them.
I'll be in my bunk.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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."
most recent purchase was the Mekons' "Fear and Whiskey," which is really wonderful.
"I was out late the other night / fear and whiskey kept me going / and I dreamed that someone held me tight / but today there's just no way of knowing...."
I never get tired of that lyric.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
I never get tired of that lyric.
It's like the drunken, unpretentious version of that Smiths song: "Last night I dreamt / that somebody loved me / no hope, no harm / just another false alarm".

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Fear and whisky do keep me going.
I'm just sayin.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
For Jilli, a description of one of the tracks from the latest Divine Comedy record:
And then there's "The Happy Goth", the album's landmark achievement. A surefire new entry to any fan's list of favorite DC songs of all time, "Goth" wraps a hilarious and note-perfect lyric around the bounciest melody Hannon's written this side of "National Express". But it's his rhyming of "cloth" with the ice planet of "Hoth" from the Star Wars movies (which also doubles as metaphor for the color of his subject's skin) that elevates the song to the stuff of, yes, genius.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A NYT review of a biography of Jeff Tweedy (leader of Wilco).
Sounds like it is worth reading. And I was shocked that the reviewer (Joe Klein) actually had positive things to say about Jay Farrar. Well, one positive thing.
So I finally picked up some new music today. Felt like it had been forever since I went CD shopping. I got Calexico's Hot Rail because it seemed summer-appropriate. I only know them through one live show (amazingly well-rehearsed) and a spattering of songs on mixes from folks. So far, I like it.
The music store guy begged me to listen to Devendra Banhart's album Rejoicing in the Hands.
I liked it in the store enough to get it. I am of to AMG him and figure out who the hell he is.
Yay new music.
