Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

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.

I could make out the lyrics to "David Smay" - they were sweet and funny and it was really weird to hear a song about someone I "know" because I don't think that's ever happened before.

And I loove that you put that Detroit Cobras song on there - I love them and until I read your liner notes I totally missed that it was used in an Angel ep - a pretty blatant use too - not sure how I didn't notice.

Overall, the volume for your CD is low, though. I can't say why - but when I put it on my stereo at a volume setting that would be normally mind-numbingly loud even for a copied CD - it was just kinda loud. I ripped it to my hard drive and plan to mess with trying to amp it up a bit - but I haven't tried yet. The volume levels were even - they were just low. Didn't change my enjoyment level - just thought I'd let you know.

I was just VERY BAD at the CD store.

Bought:
New Pornographers, Mass Romantic (I have it, but only a copied version)
The Minders, The Future's Always Perfect (finally found it - and it's good to hear I am supporting nice people as well!)
Sleater-Kinney, Call the Doctor (believe it or not this is my first SK CD - I've been looking for it used for about two years)
Centro-Matic, Love You Just the Same (another off of Jon's mix, I downloaded this off of Emusic and I love it and felt the need to own it for real)

Had in My Hands but Did Not Buy:
that Dizzee Rascal CD - because people are swooning and foaming at the mouth about it
The Elected - ? can't remember the title - it's the Rilo Kiley side project I mentioned yesterday
the new Stereolab, SKOTS and Air CDs

I have a music buying PROB-LEM.

Hayden! Thank You! For the CD! I am listening to it! Right Now! And it's Great!

Erin! I hope you like it!

That song, "Walking on Hell's Roof Looking at the Flowers" was originally on the Waco Brothers album "Electric Waco Chair".

See, I don't have that one. Y'know, I love Jon Langford as much as the next stark-ravingly mad fanatic, but I've just never rounded my Waco Bros collection out much. And then I show my ignorance to the world on a message board.

I prefer to see it in myself as more of a condition or personality quirk than a problem.

Because of the book, I've saved all my music-buying receipts and will be claiming it as an expense on my taxes. I'm actually a little afraid to see how much money I spent on the music this year.

OMG. I never ever ever EVER want to see this number as it pertains to myself. I would officially have to take away my own license to be an adult considered smart enough to exist independently of others.

Still - very cool with the taxes - that should save you a lot. Dear lord I need to hook myself up with some get-music-for-free scheme - it really would save me - well enough to probably buy a car or something.

The coolest thing about having "musician" as a side business is that all CDs are tax deductable.

Indie music nerds! You have let me down.

Why - with all my constant talking about Sam Beam (Iron and Wine) and Modest Mouse - has no one ever mentioned this to me??

It came out in Oct. on Suicide Squeeze - I just bought it. Uh-huh. I spent MORE money on music.

Yeah, I hear that "sharing your art" thing is TOTALLY overrated ; )

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Cooler than having women throw their panties at you?

Huh. That link isn't working for me. This is what was not mentioned to me:

THE SIX PARTS SEVEN & GUESTS Lost Notes from Forgotten Songs (cd)

THE SIX PARTS SEVEN turn their songs over to the likes of Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse, Ugly Casanova), David Bazan (Pedro the Lion), John Atkins (The Magic Magicians, 764-Hero), Sam Beam (Iron & Wine), Will Johnson (Centro-matic), and many more, resulting in Lost Notes From Forgotten Songs, a new cd that re-shapes, re-invents, and re-volutionizes the band's lilting instrumental gems bringing grand lyrical charm and a whole new level of melody.
