I'm also enjoying the M.I.A.
I just saw her interviewed recently, and the clips that they played sounded great.
Saffron: You're a good man. Mal: You clearly haven't been talking to anyone else on this boat.

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.

Oh, and I'm watching the Brit Awards. Scissor Sisters have clearly scored some serious drugs.

Ann, that's a ferret.
...not to mention some serious Brits.

Thanks for the Placebo recs. The Radio station has Sleeping with Ghosts, but not Black Market Music, so it'll be either Plasticine or This Picture (they were both good).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I love "Plasticine" as much as the next bloke, but just to throw my own two cents out there, I would have said "Scared of Girls" or "Brick Shithouse" off Without You I'm Nothing.

Psst, Angus: where did you get the MIA thing and can I get a copy? I can swap...anything, I guess.

We also get a mention in the Washington, D.C. City Paper by way of George Pelecanos.
Looks like we're getting San Francisco events geared up for April. Scott Miller of Game Theory and Loud Family has committed to doing a show. Also, Mike Lucas (one of our writers) will have his band doing a tribute to Mexican rock and roll. There will be some readings too.
March 12th, I'll be participating in a reading at Vroman's in Pasadena. Lots of writers - should be fun. I'll bring my odd collection of rock and music clips to warm up the crowd.

Cool site. Love early Stones, so the 12x5 write-up is right up my alley. (Sorry.) But I don't buy the disclaimer that "David Fufkin... is not based on any fictitious character. He is a fiction that I, Casey Fundaro, use as a ghostwriting pseudonym." Especially given the sentence that follows -- "It is a name that hopefully captures the music business in general, with all of its hype, publicity machinery, focus groups, corporate radio programming and schemes used in an effort to control the masses and their perception of good music." -- can there be any doubt that it's a nod to Artie Fufkin? And if I'm wrong about this, I think you know what I want you to do -- no, that I insist you do: Kick my ass, OK? Kick this ass for a man, that's all. Kick my ass, enjoy! C'mon, I'm not asking, I'm telling with this!

Let me know if it will be the last week of the month. I'll be running the Big Sur marathon on the 24th ("running" meaning "going slightly faster than most people walk, & at a very impressive rate for a fat guy like me"), & the GF & I will be spending a few days in Monterey before visiting friends in SF.
