Seconded.
I have the self-titled Elastica CD. It's fun.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

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.

Michele!! That's awesome. I can't believed I missed him doing Francoise, darn me and my non-going out ways. Maybe I'll catch him later this year.
Anyone get any new CDs recently on the exchange? friendly reminder to get any you have in the mail by this weekend if you can.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The major labels are increasingly acknowledging the value of the entrepreneurial spirit -- witness Warner Music Group's recently inaugurated "incubator" entities and Universal Music Group's new indie distributor Fontana.
That spirit is the bread and butter of the DIY Convention
So their bread and butter is fake indies? Great....

I'm very chuffed about this contact, and pending review:
Hello there
I'm writing a feature on Lost In The Grooves for The Times in London and would dearly like to make contact with Kim Cooper and/or David Smay. I love the book...

Nice, David! Does the book have UK distribution?

That'd be useful, don't you think?
I'm not sure. Then again, I can't imagine why we'd be sending it to the British press if we didn't. Probably Amazon UK at the very least.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Guh. What a harrowing quote:
‘… [O]ut of the corner of my eye I saw him. He was kneeling in the kitchen. I was relieved – glad he was still there ‘Now what are you up to?’ I took a step towards him, about to speak. His head was bowed, his hands resting on the washing machine. I stared at him, he was so still. Then the rope – I hadn’t noticed the rope. The rope from the clothes rack was around his neck. I ran through to the sitting room and picked up the telephone. No, supposing I was wrong – another false alarm. I ran back to the kitchen and looked at his face – a long string of saliva hung from his mouth. Yes, he really had done it…’ - Deborah Curtis, Touching From a Distance: Ian Curtis and Joy Division, 133
But so interesting...
It was clear, in the best interviews the band ever gave - to Jon Savage, a decade and a half after Curtis’s death - that they had no idea what they were doing, and no desire to learn. Of Curtis’ disturbing-compelling hyper-charged stage trance spasms and of his disturbing-compelling catatonic downer words, they said nothing and asked nothing, for fear of destroying the magic. They were unwitting necromancers who had stumbled on a formula for channelling voices, apprentices without a sorcerer.
They saw themselves as mindless golems animated by Curtis’ vision(s). (Thus, when he died, they said that they felt they had lost their eyes…) As Mark put it in his piece on the early Eps in The Wire (over a decade ago!): ‘though the first bullying shards of Joy Division music are punk in sound, they don't clarify. This more than anything will become their signature - everything about them will be seized on, floridly discussed, and stay unexplained. Physical to a fault, the music exhibits all the the signs of the cerebral and none of its content - invention pours out of these dullard-geniuses, so stripped of hidden agendas that hidden agendas is all that many remark upon.’
