OMG those songs so boring.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Apparently my paralegal plays with TV on the Radio. Any opinions?

Those songs at the Columbia project couldn't have been more generic. And I listened to 20 of them.
TV on the Radio are GREAT! I read someone describe them as "The Pixies fronted by Al Green." While I hate to pigeonhole them like that, it's not too far off the mark.

LOVE THEM!
One of them was somehow chosen as "Best Indie Rock Star" by Baltimore Magazine this year. Which doesn't make any sense because of how they're completely NEW YORK not Baltimore based. I think the "Rock Star" one is from Columbia (Bmore suburb) or something. I kept meaning to write into the mag to protest, because there are quite a few good Baltimore-based bands going right now, but have been too lazy.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I forgot to mention that the keyboardist for Of Montreal looks like Kate P. (She had more hair on Sunday.)

They ROCK like hell. One of my favorite new bands. Check out the Young Liars EP; it's one of the best concise statements of purpose I've ever heard outside the best EPs of the Minutemen or Mission of Burma.

You are a braver man than I.
It almost appeared like Rio was here. But that never happens, so I must be wrong.

High praise indeed, wow. I asked Jason to bring their CD in to listen to it while stickering exhibits tonight-- I definitely look forward to it.

Was there discussion of the Fiery Furnaces & Blueberry Boat at some point? I heard a review & some clips on Fresh Air. The name rang a bell & I think I recognized it from here. Anyway, I was immediately taken with Eleanor Friedberger's voice & bought the album. I've listened to it a couple times & am completely taken with her singing, probably the most visceral reaction I've had to a singer since Iris Dement. Not sure what I think about the whole yet. My reaction to her is so strong that it's hard to hear the rest of it. And I've been listening to it at work so it certainly hasn't received my undivided attention. It does drag after a while. I don't know if that's a function of my inattention or of its length (75+ minutes) & my pre-CD shaped idea of how long an album should be (i.e., in the 35-45 minute range. Yes, there were some great double albums, but it was a big decision to release a double. Just because the CD gives artists 75-80 minutes to work with they don't have to fill it up every release.) At the risk of retreading covered ground, what do folks think about the band and the album?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Uh-huh. It's been my favorite album of the year so far.
