Great show, Jon. I know a lot of the bands, but not many of the songs.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

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!

t edit Fancy-pants web site though.
And thanks Hayden.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Took a stack of CDs to the local record shop yesterday (Sonic Boom, for all youse Seattle guys), and while they only took about half of them, I got $50 in store credit. Whoo-hoo!
Here's what I picked up: the new Wilco, the Pixies hits compilation, a 2-disc The Who hits collection and Keane's new one.
I haven't heard any of Keane's tunes, but I've read several good reviews that made me think it would be right up my alley. Plus, the disc was only $6.99.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've heard a couple of their songs. Best I can describe them is, kind of first cousins to Coldplay, with lyrics whose philosophizing is a little more one-on-one personal.

I forgot to second Angus's upthread recommendation of Lee Caulfield's mp3 blog. Lee's a fantastic guy, and his blog has nothing but excellent music.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Wow, Jon. That website really is fancy-pants. I picked up the cd, though, and it's decent. I've been on a strange opening band kick of late.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I've had pretty great luck with opening bands. When I went to see Our Lady Peace, I discovered Ash, and when I went to see Tegan and Sara, I discovered Jets Overhead.

I got to meet (and have a very strange 2 am phone conversation with the manager of) the Ben Taylor Band when they were opening for Dar. (Part of me will forever regret not getting on that bus.) I've really grown to like their album. Then Gavin DeGraw told me I had good hair when he opened for Barenaked Ladies. I got that cd too, and have fallen for the song "Chariot". Rest of the album needs more listening.

Oh yeah, I saw them too. They were pretty good, though I didn't get addicted to them like I did to Ash and Jets Overhead.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Dunno if this even fits in the musick thread, but I saw a show this weekend: the Dan Band. BF & I were watching Old School, looked up the info on the band playing at the wedding toward the beginning of the movie and went to one of their New York dates a few weeks later. Their schtick involves covering female-empowerment tunes sung by a guy who looks like an unemployed mechanic with two backup singers who look like adjunct professors. The genius part of it is the dance numbers: nothing too complicated, just a little more elaborate than a 60s girl group. To be honest, the music got tired after awhile-- balls-out covers of "Shoop Shoop", "No Scrubs" and "Genie in a Bottle" liberally peppered with cussing sound great on paper, but Dan Finnerty didn't have enough charisma to carry it past a novelty act. But worth seeing on the cheap for the dancing.
