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.
'Lineage'
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.

Excellent!
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."
Hey, I like him, too. I like... Hippy Johnny.
Did we ever get the CD mix in motion again?
Did anyone contact Plei about re-sending the CDs to Angus?
Surprising Video Sighting On VH-1 Classic This Morning: "Waiting for Mary" by Pere Ubu.
A Pere Ubu video. Huh.
Went and saw TMBG Sat night. They did songs from their newest album and of course some older stuff- loved the songs from the new one. Plus they did one off the kids' cd. Has anyone else heard the new one?
I'd forgotten how astoundingly great (and weird) the Fall were.

(BTW, does everyone who reads SFJ know that his brother Tobias designed the font used in the 9/11 cornerstone? The story is way cool, and tres apt.)

I have to respectfully disagree, the best anti-drug song is "Dope Pusher" from the 1973 record Bill Cosby Talks to Kids About Drugs. (Principal lyric: "I don't need no bad drugs!")

I have a soft spot for the Verve's The Drugs Don't Work. "They do nothing! All the other kids are lying to you!"
