Re Wiley, what Angus said. I like the album, but Dizzee is just so stupidly head and shoulders above the whole genre. Showtime might finally be the UK rap album that breaks in the US, because he's a genuinely great rapper who actually sounds British.

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.

Have written the name down, and will begin searching.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I have to say that I can't understand half the words on The Streets' recent album. That last song is pretty clear, and yes, sad, though.

Squeeeeee! I'm going to see the Cure next week!
(The Curiosa festival was supposed to be here last weekend, but was cancelled due to an emergency. To make up for it, the Cure are playing a 3-hour show next week. Just the Cure, no other bands. The reason I didn't buy a ticket for the Curiosa festival was because I didn't know enough about the other bands to be willing to pay $50 for a ticket. However, $50 for 3+ hours of just the Cure? Oh yes, I am going.)

Hey, alt-country fans: Jimmie Dale Gilmore TODAY on Leonard Lopate's "Survival Kit" segment. (What would you take to a desert island or sonwbound cabin if you had to be stranded?) For whatever reason this segment doesn't get archived, so if you want to hear it you'll have to listen at 1:30 EDT.

Speaking of Jimmy Dale, anybody get that recently released live Flatlanders record? It's tempting me. It's got a Townes cover on it too, I think.

Jilli, we saw them a couple of weeks ago here- as part of Curiosa, though we were given tickets. Was great! Good mix of old and new. He loved the crowd. Even at Starplex (Or Smirnoff or whatever they're calling it nowadays) it was a good show.

jili, the Cure were amazing when I saw them. Have fun at the show!
I have vowed to myself that I will always shill out whatever it costs to see two bands: U2
When U2 came to D.C. last, I forgot tickets were going on sale until the next day, when they were all sold out. I ended up paying a scalper an insane amount of money, I think $120 per ticket.
It was totally and completely worth it.
