Giles ,'Sleeper'
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.
Of Montreal was fucking awesome.
I dare you to name one other band who, in the middle of the show, stages a chaotic Battle for a Donut: the band members fight each other, take each other's shoes off, hit each other with various instruments, chase each other on and off the stage, worship the Donut, praise the Donut, display the Donut on a soft purple pillow.
IN SLOW-MOTION.
Heh - I was overly contentious with the TMBG challenge, but the unified front of fandom stirred the iconoclast in me. Also, I just wanted to see what folks really liked of recent vintage 'cuz I've thrown a few TMBG projects back that were trumpeted. But I'm willing to investigate again.
Out of the last five, what's the convincer? What's their best recent?
"Mink Car" has grown on me faster than the others, though I'd rate "No!" a close second. It's brilliant for being great for kids without taking away from its adult appeal. Would've loved to have seen their No! shows.
FYI to Soulseekers: Look me up. mrbroom. Please pillage my excellent music.
Hmmm, this mix is about one song too long for burning. What gets the axe?

I can't help you with that decision but I sure would love a copy of that mix.
Matchbox Twenty Finally Finishes Watering Down Long-Awaited New Album
The release has been eagerly awaited by Matchbox Twenty's enormous fan base, composed of American record buyers who have a limited interest in music but enjoy the act of shopping.
BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!
Pretend I Never Happened Willie Nelson
Get rid of this one. Terrible song -- in fact the whole album is unlistenable. :-)
Btw, it's Jimmie Dale Gilmore, not Jimmy. He was named for the great Jimmie Rodgers. Yodelayhee-ayhee-ohohohoh!
Joe, I was rushing to the end to say that the Willie song seems the most expendable to me (which is probably the first time I've ever thought that).
TMBG: I'd definitely be dead to Scrappy and several others here should I mention my opinion, so I won't.
