RIP, Scottso!
He was probably my least favorite of WNEW's announcers back in the day, but he always had the best guests. There was this guy named Lennon who used to drop by now and then.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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.

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

Up with the sun
eMusic has been revamped. They have music critics to review music, and they are going to focus on non-mainstream (and non-major label) music.
That's so funny because I canceled my subscripption in part because there were no reviews, and sent them an email telling them so when I left.
Apparently they listened to me.

You know that unbearably catchy Kinks song that they're using to advertise HP digital camera stuff? What is the title and/or what album is it on?
(Something about "picturebooks".)

It's "Picture Book", and it's on Village Green Preservation Society.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
That's the album I used to cover in the one-album cover band. It's a doozy.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
Now I'm poking my head in to report that my housemate brought home a promo copy of the new Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album tonight, and it's so godawful that I'll probably never listen to it again.
I'm so depressed. And not in the good way I usually am after listening to Nick Cave.
Secret message to Jon: It's OK that you're so lame. No rush.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So to recap...
Tom Waits, still great.
Nick Cave, sucking like a Minnesota hooker.
Okay, now but did everybody know that the songs on The Boatman's Call were about PJ Harvey?
Also, in solidarity with my gothesque friends, I taped videos off my TiVoed eps of The Alternative tonight. The superlush visuals of Dead Can Dance's "The Carnival's Over" (or some such title) and Siouxsie's video for "The Passenger." (Okay, admittedly, I had ulterior motives on that particular video.)

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

If the album's as bad as Jen claims, you do realise the Minnesota Hookers Association will take umbrage at that remark?

They charge extra for taking it up the umbrage.
