Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Pavement - "Cut Your Hair"
Hey, "Summer Babe."
"Theme From Lawrence of Arabia" by Teisco Del Rey
"Don't Go Back to Rockville" by REM seems like a summer song to me.
As do most Allman Brothers songs in the "Sweet Melissa" vein.
"Starless Summer Sky" - Marshall Crenshaw
"Dancing in The Streets" - Martha and the Vandellas
Tell It Like It Is -- Aaron Neville and the Neville Brothers
Summer Wind -- Frank Sinatra
Inspired combination.
Every Ghetto Every City -- Lauryn Hill
I love this song so much. The whole album, but especially this song.
I was just poolside at my apt. complex and some youngins had the new Beastie Boys album blaring. I wasn't loving it as I had expected to. Bummer.
OK, what the hell is alt country, anyway?
There are few music genre labels as insidious as alt country, but it tends to be useful at times when tellling people about something they've never heard before if it fits perfectly. Explaining Uncle Tupelo as punk meets country meets folkie roots punk-y rock can get silly.
What time do club shows start where y'all live?
Most bars in Lawrence, headlining acts come on around 11.
I was totally shocked when I saw Spoon the other night that they started at 9 and the show was over at 11. I don't think it was all ages. That almost never happens here.
Lollapalooza got cancelled for poor ticket sales.

Yep, the Nineties are over.
Explaining Uncle Tupelo as punk meets country meets folkie roots punk-y rock can get silly.
OK, that's more what I was thinking when I heard "alt country." Of course, that still could be something I might like.
Lollapalooza got cancelled for poor ticket sales.
Was just about to post that. Within the last hour I heard from my downstairs neighbor (who was going to do sound for some of the bands), and via email from the Dresden Dolls (who were organizing various performance pieces).

Lollapalooza got cancelled for poor ticket sales.
All of it? Wow. Please god let this mean that Modest Mouse will do a solo tour (they were part of the Lollapalooza lineup).
KATEFATE: The Winfield documentary is SO FUN (and I totally teared up - I just had to keep reminding myself 3 months. 3 months). I got to see it with the filmmakers and some various bandmembers. I could have screamed I am so anxious to get back there. I hope you get to see it soon. I read that it will be released on DVD in a few months - it's is mostly a bunch of Stage 5 and campground performances. It was fun to see with a big Winfield crowd.
Teppy, your mix includes "Talkin' Softball'. For that, it makes me happy.
I am very excited, and feeling a bit live music spoiled at the moment.
Am going to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers live this evening, and apparently James Brown is appearring as one of the support acts!!!!!!!
I saw Bob Dylan perform last Friday, and was impressed that at his age, he could still remember all the words....
I wonder if the Godfather of Soul can remember any of his funky dance moves....
James Brown opening for the RHCPs is wronger than a wrong thing. t sigh
