I like the Outnumbered! I used to go see them all the time in Champaign.
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.
I just want to go on record as saying I LOVE THE NEW WILCO ALBUM.
I was kind of skeptical of the good reviews I've read because many friends who have listened to it online were not taken with it (though a few have loved it, of course). And I thought maybe the critics were being benefit-of-the-doubt-y with it because of Yankee Hotel.
And the first time I heard it, I was suprised by the lack of either stand-out classic Wilco/or stand-out new-skronky Wilco tunes. But it does not lack. It just took a more concentrated listen.
It's great. For the moment, I especially like "Spiders (Kidsmoke)".
Wilco was interviewed & performed yesterday on Soundcheck, tina. I had it on but was actually doing my work (what's up w/ that?) so can't tell you if it was any good.

We've discussed this before, joe, that will come to no good.
I'm listening to soundcheck right now. Thanks for the link.
An interview with John Flansburgh (half of They Might Be Giants) about a compilation benefit for MoveOn.org he's doing with Spike Jonze.
Yup. Still in love.
There is exactly one song on Jon's playlist I'm positive that I know, plus three others I'm pretty sure I have heard but cannot call to mind.
And Jim, *snerk.* Superlatives always bite me in the ass.

Liz Phair?

Hmmm... Helium? Nirvana? Pavement? Maybe Versus?
Oooh, Helium. Which song?
</too lazy to look at Jon's playlist>
Not telling. I'm no laziness enabler.
It's an excellent playlist. I'm looking forward to hearing the archived version.
