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

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Congrats to Mr. Boucher, and also to the future Mrs. Boucher, who obviously knows a good thing when she sees it. :-)
And Jim, I had a 10-lb baby with no problems and no drugs, so you can use that to balance out the scary stories labor/delivery stories that people like to stop you with. What is it about having a baby that turns people into the Ancient Mariner?
And I was going to use the Go-Betweens for my unconventional love song but now I'm not so sure. Which locution I cannot think of without thinking of the recent New Scientist Feedback column where the man wrote in to say he used to think he was indecisive but now he's not so sure.

The tiny albatross around our necks for the next 18 years. Ah, I kid. I kid because I love.

Which one? Or should I wait until you make up your mind?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Can we have no more scary delivery stories until further notice?
Absolutely. Sorry, Jim. But the good news is modern medicine filled with everyday miracles and happy endings.
May the arrival of the Jim and Ms. Jim's offspring be a smooth and easy process, absolutely textbook with thoroughly mundane anecdotes.
Congratulations! Welcome to the realm of sleep deprivation.

Art Crawl!!!
The further good news is that obviously people have kids fairly easily and often -- look how many of us there are!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I was born with the cord wrapped around my neck, and I'm perfectly fine.

Heh.
Congrats to Joe, Soon-to-be Mrs. Joe and much smooth-and-easy-labor-ma to Jim and Mrs. Jim.
I’m still digesting both, but I want to point out that the Go-Betweens are going to play the US for the first time since 1989 in June. NYC, Chapel Hill, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, and LA, but (why o why, lord?) nowhere within a day's drive of me.
As noted, they are coming to Chicago, but the thing I have quickly realized about this place is that I just can't go to every show I want to. It sucks! I currently have tickets to the Mountain Goats, Rilo Kiley (meep!) and Spoon (and there are a few minor pay-at-the-door type of things in between). But that meant NOT buying tickets to any of this week's Wilco shows (they are doing four nights in a row). Or the Go-Betweens or a jillion other things....I know, poor me, right?
I'm mostly loving the new Mountain Goats CD, The Sunset Tree. It's better than the last one (We Shall All Be Healed) I think, but not better than the one before that (Tallahassee).
I also downloaded Wreck Your Life based on Michele's rec. I'm liking it. I loooove that emusic has Bloodshot's catalog avail. Have I mentioned that?

Hey tina, have you been to The Hideout to see Kelly Hogan and The Wooden Leg yet?
tina f. - May 04, 2005 2:41:46 pm PDT #8490 of 10003
No but I have been every Tues for the past month to see Devil in a Woodpile. I need to make a date and do that this Thursday (I'm pretty sure she plays Thurs. - need to check). (Another bar close to where I live has open mic night on Thur. night and cheap beer so I keep doing that instead.) I really love the Hideout (they gave me a button!) and they have cheap beer, too. ($2 PBRs in a can. Canned PBR was always $1 in Lawrence. Still miss that place).
