Currently playing: Franz Ferdinand.
Damn, four songs in and not a mis-step yet. I really love the jagged, angular sound they've got going - it reminds me a little of Gang of Four, but less atonal (and dubby) or Pylon, but less minimal.
As Willow goes, so goes my nation.

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.

Hec, when you get to work Monday, you'll have mail. I'm off to see Jesus Christ, Superstar.

Howdy back atcha, Hayden! I thought of you today as "Fitted Shirt" came up on the iPod.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I was this close to making it to the Decemberists show the other night. After the team which must not be named's game got rained out, I got a friend to come to Portland with me, and then when it was a ten dollar cover she backed out. We made it to the door. A man was singing about escalators.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Man, your friend's even cheaper than I am.

Oh, they are worth so very much more than $10, and they're unlikely to ever come to town cheaper. I'm sorry you missed them.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Not to rub it in, but you missed a great show. It would've been difficult to find you though -- the place was packed!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
NYT article on Ric Ocasek, former frontman for The Cars. In recent years he's been making a name for himself as a producer, working with bands such as Weezer, No Doubt, Holel, Guided by Voices and Le Tigre. The article makes Ric sound like a really nice guy.
At this point I should confess to being a big Cars fan back in their day. I even have purchased a CD or two of theirs in the last few years.
