I just found out that the Pixies are coming back to Austin in late October. Unfortunately, I've already paid through the nose for Brian Wilson tickets that same week.

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.
Pixies are playing at an arena here with Mission of Burma opening. Seems like a no-brainer except that
- It's at an arena so the sound will probably suck.
- It's general admission so I'll have to fight off yahoos to keep a decent spot and then not move for three hours.
- Tickets, with service charges are over $40 each.
I don't have the URLs with me, Michele, but I've long enjoyed KDRadio (rock 'n' roll oldies, defined loosely enough to span from Perry Como's "Wanted" to Tiffany), which is probably [link] If you're interested in streamed commercial radio not otherwise available in the U.S., I'm a fan of several Top 40 stations in the British Isles -- Capitol FM (London), 2FM (Ireland), Today FM (Ireland).
ION, I'm enjoying the new Tegan & Sara record. Not quite as quirky as the last, but good.
major envy
I want it.
My friend cathy (she sometimes posts here) sent me a link entitled best band ever.
SWEET CHRIST, HOW I LOVE HATEBEAK, THE DEATH METAL BAND WITH A PARROT ON LEAD VOCALS
....
The band I speak of is a punishing death metal cabal boasting a human drummer, a human guitarist, a human bassist … and a fucking Congo African Grey parrot named Waldo as their mouthpiece.
Dammit, why couldn't I think of this?!?!?!

This is, indeed, the future of death metal.
Are they better than the band with the American Pit Bull on lead vocals?
more of Hatebeak:
Notice that I make no mention of what city they originate from. That is because I do not fucking know. They will not tell me. It was simply enough for them to admit only that they hail from "within the deepest bowels of Satan." This is a band that hates humanity so much that utilizing an actual human being as their vocal expressionist is out of the question. Hell, former and present band members BLK, WLL, MRK and CHRS harbor enough hatred towards humanity to eschew even vowels.

You mean this?
BT: Not minutes after learning of your band, I was pointed to Caninus, an equally punishing torch-to-the-scalp of hardcore and metal fronted by two pit bull terriers. Firstly, is there any truth to the rumors of a split 7" between your two bands in future days? Secondly, do you have title for it yet? Third, which do you think is the most appropriate color for the vinyl -- blood red or tropical green? Lastly, may I please have eight million copies?
BLK: Yes, there is truth to the rumors. We've talked with the fine people in Caninus, and they seem really excited to do it, as are we. It'll be the Faith/Void split for the "00." I do have a working title for the record, but it will remain secret until the unveiling. Yes, you may have eight million copies, but they will be $3 apiece. I guess we could give you a break on the price though.

Heh. My friend Ivor was in Faith.
