Low's Xmas album is my favorite Low album.
You can hear clips from the YLT Xmas EP here: [link]
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.
'Time Bomb'
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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
From David's post in Press:
Last night Knut and I went to see Kelly Hogan at The Hideout. We had a blast. Fun! Yay!
SO jealous! Of both the hanging-out-with-Knut and the seeing-Kelly-Hogan. What songs did she do?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What songs did she do?
Really cool set of mostly lesser known jazz vocals, peppered with country, rockabilly and old R&B pop. Did things like "Moody's Mood For Love" and "Red Top" - which folks who have my jazz vocal tapes might know.
Tonight we see Kelly, Jon Langford, Robbie Fulks and many more at Heather McAdams Country Calendar Party! Sweeeeet! Also they will be showing old 16mm film clips of old country folks like Ray Price and Marty Robbins. So fun!
Also? Madrigal's coming
Y'all know there are a number of Glam Rock Xmas songs, my favorite being by Mud.

If I only had a brain...
Give Madrigal my respect and missage.

Damn, you lucky SOB. If it's not too late, pass along my howdys to both Knut & Madrigal. And Jonboy.

Is it worth watching the Wilco movie DVD with the commentary track?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
How's that Polyphonic Spree xmas song, SA? I'll presume you like it since you put it on the mix.
Damn, you lucky SOB.
Plus I had a long brunch with Rio this morning.
If it's not too late, pass along my howdys to both Knut & Madrigal. And Jonboy.
Too late for Jonboy, since we saw him last night. The show was great good fun, and excellent music. Mr. Mekon did a Marty Robbins set including "Big Iron On His Hip." Kelly Hogan kicked in with backing vocals on just about everybody, and did a Ray Price set (perfect for her since his stuff is a mix of country and big city jazz/torch. Excellent version of "For the Good Times" which she dedicated to one of her neighbors when she was growing up). Robbie and Donna Fulks did some gorgeous two-part close harmonies. Anna Fermin had a gorgeous voice, which was necessary for her Dolly Parton set. You know what rocks? Being in a packed club while everybody is singing along to "Jolene."
Really fun clips of old country music shows with Ray Price, Tennessee Ernie Ford (doing a fantastically lewd "Shotgun Boogie"), Carl Smith (June Carter's ex, Carlene's dad. Miriam made the immortal observation that Carl's wavy quiff was so lopsided that "It looks like somebody punched him in the hair.") and Marty Robbins.
We all had a very very fun and funny dinner beforehand. Knut and Madrigal and Rio will be coming tonight so I'll share the halloos.
