Tina: excellent! He's a great songwriter. Hope you enjoy it! The only show I'm looking forward to is the Fiery Furnaces next weekend. Oh, and SXSW, of course (lessee, Mission of Burma, the Mekons, The Decemberists, Calexico, Ted Leo, The New Year, the American Music Club, maybe the Pee Wee Fist -- I guess that'll be ok).
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

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.

Oh, and thanks Hayden for the compliment on my mix... it was challenging to find songs that fit.
I think you did a great job. Looking forward to hearing it.

OS X rocks like a rocking thing that has a rocking OS. Although I've never owned a Mac before so I didn't need to unlearn Mac pre-OS X weirdness.
I have been using Macs since I was about 7 yrs old and never before have I wanted to switch to something else. I f*cking hate this!! It looks stupid, it's all counter-intuitive. I had to switch browsers TWICE to edit my last post!! I have to rebuild my iTunes, importing my bookmarks got all screwed up, I can't change the stupid font on my desktop views.....I HATE CHANGE.
But I'm glad you like it! Sorry-I'm just frustrated. I'll get used to it eventually. I just have to keep telling myself I can finally buy stuff from the iTunes store and that alone will be worth it....

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
maybe the Pee Wee Fist
Just bought our plane tickets last night! Looks like it'll just be Pete and me, and maybe Jimmy Ryan (who's on the same saturday night bill as us) helping out a bit. It was down to the wire. Pete had some concerns and was waiting to hear back from the SXSW guy before he committed. He finally heard back yesterday. And he left this morning with Clem Snide for a 5 week European tour.
Fiery Furnaces are an odd band. I saw them here a few months ago. I didn't even know the singer was a woman until I saw them. She has a deep voice and a 70's hairdo that's part Charlie's Angels and part hat-head.
Another thumbs-up for tommyrot's mix.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Thanks Jon.
I suppose I should read other people's mixes and pass out the compliments.
Are we suppose to keep the recipients of our CDs secret? Because I printed out the mailing address of my recipient - s/he is so close I to me I could walk there....
This is the cover art I finally settled on. Yes, a sphynx; how did you guess? This one looks pissed off, as if to say, "Make fun of my lack of hair and I'll tear you a new one!"

Tommyrot, that is a really, really disturbing image.
Looks like a good CD, though.

As the resident Joey it is my duty to say, "That is not a cat!"

You darn tootin'.

Sweet! I'm taking off the whole time, so let's hang out.
Fiery Furnaces are an odd band.
You can say that again. I like how they have this Harry Smith vibe running through their music, even though their sound has a Nuggety (and sub-Kraftwerk-y at times) feel.

1 hour 19 minutes and 16 seconds.
I found this exercise to be a bit like trying to get dressed for an event that you are nervous about. I had 6 binders of CDs out and would have sweared to you last night that I own NO music. I also realized that there are many many albums that rarely get a listen. My poor 90s country CDs, they just sit there sad.
