Congrats to Joe and the future Mrs. Joe.
Whyyyyy aren't the Go-Betweens coming to D.C. or, for Corwood, Austin? Whine whine whine. (Yes, I know NYC is only five hours drive for me, but ... five hours, dude!)
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

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 just want to point out that the Go-Betweens are playing within walking distance of my apartment.
Now I do my dance!

Can we have no more scary delivery stories until further notice?

What the good doctor prescribed, Jim! Here's to a safe and easy delivery, and huge fuckin' congrats, man!

Misha: I notice that some of the hooples on Salon have picked up on that picking in the brine statement, but I'm pretty sure that Al said that during the first episode of this season.

NY-istas, are there good sites for finding out what live music is playing in NYC?
Congrats to Joe, and some easy delivery vibes sent eastward to Jim.
I am having difficulty with the unconventional love song. I immediately thought of Billy Bragg and the Magnetic Fields but that's too easy. So I'm looking farther afield. If I end up loading Billy Bragg or Mag Fields, you know I just got lazy.

Mazel tov, Jim!
Ditto from the other side of Flatbush!
Sorry to say I'm benighted on the Go-Betweens front, & sorrier to learn that they're playing almost literally in my back yard but nowhere near those w/ the large GB love. L J, if you decide to make the drive, or better yet take the Chinatown bus (it's like $15 from DC to NYC, plus you can read or sleep instead of fighting traffic), you have a place to stay. Corwood, my friend, that offer is of course extended to you even though I know you can't take me up on it. If you can swing a cheap flight to Chicago, though, I can guarantee you a place to stay. Probably a ride to/from the airport, too.
have you ever heard the Lambert, Hendricks and Ross song where Jon Hendricks does impressions of famous jazz bass players? I know he does Ray and Mingus, and I can't remember the third.
Nope. Wonder who the third is?
Also, I love the part in "Dearie's Blues" where Blossom sings, "Ray Brown says I was built for speed."
Wonder if he said that Ella was built for comfort. (Do you know Howlin' Wolf's great fat guy songs, "Built for Comfort" and "300 Lbs of Joy"? FAbulous stuff! Hoy! Hoy! I'm the boy! I got 300 pounds of heavenly joy!)

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Congratulations are in order, so here's my offering: Congratulations!
I'm a bit U2'd out at the moment ... I'll pause here to let you all recover from the shock ... and am listening to some other stuff and letting it grow on me.
Today's revelations: I really like the CDs by Butterfly Boucher and Jem.

Mucho gracias! Friends in Chapel Hill, Chicago, LA, and San Francisco have already made similar offers, too (and what a lucky guy I am to have such great friends!), but, as you say, there is absolutely no way. My wife would love to make it possible, too, but the fact is that we're down a paycheck for the next two months. Oh well. I'm sure they'll be back sometime in the next 16 years.
