Hmm. Must go listen to a song or two, then. When Jon taps his fingers together, you know he means business.
Can I recommend "Quay Cur" and "I Lost My Dog"? For some reason, the dog songs are my favorites.
edit - and woo hoo! for Jack Johnson.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Teppy! Did you get my package yet? It should have arrived by Friday (finally, finally went out on Tuesday).
I am sorely tempted to buy that Fiery Furnaces CD now.

No! I bet it'll be waiting for me on Monday. Since it's my work address, there's the very real and very annoying possibility that the co-worker who's supposed to check the mail down in the lobby didn't actually do it, and the mail from Friday just sat in the box.
I'll definitely let you know when I get it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Dammit! I fought horrible traffic and went to three different music stores, but could not find the Fiery Furnaces CD. Now I'm gonna go to Evanston to see I, Robot (yeah, I know it's gonna suck) and go to Dr. Wax (the music store where I get most of my CDs). I could buy it on iTunes, but I want the CD so I'll have better sound quality. (It seems that the more sonicly "complex" a song is, the worse it sounds when compressed, so for this album I'd rather not do iTunes.)

Grr. I was hoping you'd get it in time for the weekend. Well, it'll definitely be there on Monday, then.

I am now seeing Alice as a natural bookend to the Frank Trilogy
been listening to alice all weekend. I am coming to the conclusion it's his masterpiece - it combines the songwriting of the early years with the carny madness of the later work perfectly.

Yeah, I'd love to see it staged. I'll have to content myself with the upcoming The Black Rider in San Francisco with Marianne Faithful.

I went out and got the Fiery Furnaces new cd yesterday -- I love it!
And I'm so embarrassed that I hadn't heard of them since they're from Oak Park.

I have so far failed in my attempts to buy the Fiery Furnaces CD--I think I'lll walk to downtown Evanston on my lunchbreak to try to find it.
Now Playing: "I'm Straight" by the Modern Lovers (Jonathan Richman's band). Best anti-drug song evah!
"See, he's stoned--hippy Johnny. Now get this: I'm straight, and I want to take his place."
