I can never remember which songs are Linkin Park -- I kind of have them muddled with O.A.R. and Yellowcard and Limp Bizkit and all those other bands that I am too old and unhip to tell apart.

Yellowcard's gimmick is an electric violin. They're all right.

I think there's one by them on the radio right now that I don't hate, but I think they usually get too screamy for me during the screamy parts (though I do like the alternating-vocalists part of the song I'm thinking of).

I think the most recent single is "Lying from You," which has the line "The very worst part of me is you." And yeah, they get screamy, but Chester has a great scream. I really love Meteora, because pretty much every song is about identity issues, and that's a favorite theme of mine.

Has anyone seen Sarah McLachlan this summer, or happen to know offhand if she's got an opener?

It looks like somebody named Butterfly Boucher might be touring with her. (Or a band called Butterfly Boucher.)

So, did we know that John Kerrry was in a garage band at one time (I admit that I skip and skim)? The scandinavian newspapers today have stories about his days touring there. You can hear the band here:

I know it was included in the video biography that was played right before Kerry's acceptance speech at the convention.

Yep. And I know the guy who has a copy of his vanity album who got the word out about it (Garage Rock expert, and owner of Arf Arf Records, Eric Lindgren).

I think I came across Butterfly Boucher's website a long time ago. I think they're Frou Frou-ish. You'll like them, Lilty.
