Cool David. Is Talk of the Nation on NPR? Can we hear that online?
More to the point, can we call in and harass? :)
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My blog is being inundated with hits, thanks to a picture I stole from Andy Axel. Got a link from Daily Kos and a buncha other political site. Kinda cool!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
BTW thanks all for the feedback on TV on the Radio. I'm listening to desperate youth right now, and it is fantastic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Holy moly, I've been watching the documentary Heartworn Highway which was shot in '75-76 and recently came out on DVD. It was about the (then) new outlaw/Austin country movement of that time, and covers a lot of musicians I had on my last mix. Lots of Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, David Allan Coe (with a totally freakass story about almost getting raped in prison, which he's performing in a prison while wearing earrings and covered in prison tattoos and a rhinestone suit), Steve Young (my new fav from that era), a very young Rodney Crowell and - the whoa part - a so-young Steve Earle that I didn't recognize him. "Who the hell is that skinny punk with the long greasy hair?"
Recommended. There are some amazing scenes, like Townes Van Zandt bringing his neighbor (an old black guy about 79, who still works as a blacksmith shoeing horses) to tears with a song, and Guy Clark doing guitar repair. Just a real insight into that era/scene. Plus lots of great music.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Huh. There are enough extra musical scenes on this DVD to double the length of the entire thing. John Hiatt and Steve Earle; Townes and Rodney Crowell. David Allan Coe and a trio of black gospel singers from the prison population.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I forgot to mention, I glanced through Dylan's memoirs while standing in the bookstore. In the first fourteen pages you've got Dylan and Tiny Tim mooching hamburgers in the basement of Cafe Wha? while listening to Rick Nelson and trying to talk Fred Neil into putting them on the bill.
It's pretty cool.
Back from Amoeba. I have the Harry Potter Azkaban soundtrack solely because I want the "Toil and Trouble" bit for my Halloween mix this year.
Also got the OOP Long Ryders anthology, Pop a Paris - More rock n' roll and mini skirts (not only cool bits by Gainsbourg, Polnareff and Bardot, but a song by Les Ypres Sound. They were the band who used the tubular bells sound used at the beginning of the Futuruama theme.), Polecats Are Go, and (in tribute to the Dolls show I just saw) The Myrmidons of Melodrama, a fantastic Shangri Las collection.
Also picked up a bootleg DVD-R of The Subterraneans. It's legendarily inauthentic but that's hardly an issue in my Beatnikiana collection.

I haven't listened to The Long Ryders in more than ten years.
They're pretty fucking great.

I love that first EP and a couple songs from the first LP, but they lost me after that.
Dave Shouse (x-Grifters and Those Bastard Souls) has a new band called the Bloodthirsty Lovers. I just got back from seeing them at TT's. Fucking great! Imagine a more twisted, more rockin', Wilco.
