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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, that's more what I was thinking when I heard "alt country." Of course, that still could be something I might like.

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).

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.

[insert something funny here]
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....

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
No kidding. Flat out shocking.
I hear most of the Lollaetc. bands are planning on proceeding with summer tours.
So, the Decemberists and the Long Winters were fairly disappointing live. The Long Winters relied on Let's Active-ish power pop versions of their songs (both the guitarist & bassist had Rickenbachers, which was my first clue that things were amiss [subdigression - I quite like Let's Active, but I don't think of the Long Winters as having the chops to pull off the janglepop effectively]), which unfortunately served to flatten the pleasurable nuances of their songs into three-chord-plus-lousy-solo blahness. The Decemberists were just kinda boring. No improvisation, very little stage patter, just a few songs from Her Majesty. The high point was "The Tain," which is exciting with the different parts and such.
In fact, I'm a bit interested in how both the Decemberists and the Fiery Furnaces, two of the more aurally adventurous indie-rock artists working today, are producing complex multi-part works about pirates. The FF are better at it, for sure, with their sonic montage and wacky, clearly metaphorical lyrics, but it's just fascinating that the Decemberists have chosen to challenge their Randy Newmanish soft-rock tendencies in EXACTLY the same manner as the FF, when I can't see how either band could have known about the other's new direction.
