Got 4th row tickets to see Brian Wilson perform Smile in late October. Hell, yeah! I accidentally bought three extra tickets in the 7th row of the SC section, which, it looks like, are actually 7th row tickets dead center. If anyone wants to see Brian Wilson in Austin, let me know. I'll sell these extra tickets at cost.
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Does anyone know anything about the Britiah rapper The Streets? Is he any good, or just hype?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Gee, you'd think I skimmed or something...
Thanks!

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
A friend made me a Streets CD and I just couldn't get into it. Lyrically it was pretty good but I just wasn't feeling the songs or the vocal delivery. Not my thang.
ION, Sebadoh on Thursday! It's been a looooong time. (Long enough that I've managed to forget about the travesty that was Harmacy.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
One of the book contributors, Mike Applestein, has an online blog and did the zine Caught in Flux. Here's a cool issue of CiF, where people relate how they discovered music. My co-editor Kim Cooper, relates a particularly saucy tale of 70s debauchery. Most of these stories would probably sound familiar to music fans here. Claudia Gonson (Magnetic Fields) has a cool rememberance about discovering music through her childhood friendship with Stephin Merritt.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I'm going to go see Elvis the C in a few weeks for the first time. He's usually kind of expensive, and I'm not so crazy about anything he's done since, say, Blood & Chocolate (and I have diminishing returns on anything after Imperial Bedroom, actually), so I've just never forked out to see the guy. But he's playing the Austin City Limits Fest, and we have tickets, so I figure I'll check him out.
I have an unusual talent for missing EC. Seriously, one year he was playing London the day after I went back to America, and LA the day after I went back to England.
On the other hand, while I dislike a lot of his recent stuff, I have a fondness for the recent "When I Was Cruel." It was a pretty damn solid album.

Said his favorite parody (and he thinks it deserves to be parodied) is "Hairway to Steven". I must hear it! Seems to be a Butthole Surfers song, & no mp3 turned up in my not-too-comprehensive search. Anyone know/have it?
Hairway to Steven was the title of a BS LP, not a song. As Hayden said, the song titles were all symbols. Nothing on the album is a StH parody -- it's just the title.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Now playing: Moby's cover of "That's When I Reach for My Revolver." I'm surprised at how faithful it is.
