A BBC review of the new Divine Comedy album Absent Friends, with comments by fans
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I deleted it for Angel spoileriness.

I had a brief moment of confusion reading Jon's post before I remembered that non-NAFDAns may not have seen the finale yet. Especially since I was just talking to erinaceous the other day about how, without spoilers, life is now meaningless.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Unfortunately, I know nothing of the Divine Comedy. Would I like them?
More than toast with honey. Take that how you will.
In other news, Real Life is touring the US - although I can't seem to find where they're going except here to Salt Lake City. Nevertheless, I'm going, and you all should too, if you get a chance. I saw them once before, and they put on a great show.
Oh, yes, and for those who are interested in a trip to Utah, there is a Synthpop Festival over labor day weekend. $25 for 12 or 13 bands over 2 days. How can you go wrong?

Up with the sun
I saw the Decemberists (again -- this makes three times, and ever time in a larger venue. I expect them to play RFK Stadium next time) last night. They continue to rock live, and covered the Smiths' "Ask."
I just wish they would quit devoting a third of their set to "The Tain." It's a fantastic 20-minute concept song, but ... it's a 20-minute concept song, so playing it means dropping three or four other songs from their set. Which makes me sad.
I can send you a copy when I send you the next round of mixes, LJ.
That is fantastic.
