Oh, yeah, you're from Provo
I *live* in Provo. I'm *from* the hills of Southwestern Pennsylvania. Equally backwards, but I find it less of a cultural burden.

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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Eh. If Syd were reuniting with them, that would be news.

Hey, Gandalfe, I saw your post in Beep Me. My thoughts are with your family.
Connie, comfortable shoes are good advice. Also, remember there probably won't be much shade, so wear sunscreen and a hat and hydrate as appropriate. Oh, and I'm not sure how much people mosh (slam-dance) anymore, but if you notice bunches of adolescent men bumping into each other near the stage, steer clear.

Check, beware of moshers.
Between Billy and Dropkick Murphys, I'll probably hang around security folk and shake my head at the kids.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Jim! Is this somebody you know? It sounds like your scene and era. Ganked from Datapanik's LJ:
My good internet friend andypop was struck by a motorbike when leaving a club show in London last night. He was taken into intensive care at the Royal London Hospital in White Chapel.
I never met Andy in person, but I had hoped to one day. He was a passionate music fan, committed to liberal/radical politics, and a participant in the early 90's underground/activist punk scene that also yielded bands like Bikini Kill and Huggy Bear (he played guitar for Linus, for the record). I traded funny stories and memories with him -- favorite bands and music scenes and such -- through Livejournal. (My favorite was a discussion of a great UK indiepop band, Wimpy Milkshake. Andy told me a funny story of being in the audience for the band's first live performance -- in a biker bar, of all places!)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Gandalfe, sending you and DW strength-ma, and your son getaclue-ma.

Whoa. 256 posts in Music. I must have been gone a while.
Katefate!
Tina, does your move to Chicago affect Winfield attendance?
Hell, no! Last week I accepted the job that I had previously requested ma for (another beneficiary of the scary power of buffista-ma thanks you) and after we were squared away on salary, benefits, hands had been shaken, W-4s filled out, I said..."There's just one more thing....I have to take a week off in Sept. and I know I tech. won't have a week of vacation by then." My new boss cut me off - "No problem." I heart my new job.
Except that it leaves me with far less interbunny time.
What else? I love that Mountain Goats album, too. I posted about it and everything...
The Hold Steady album I have not taken to so far.
In heavy rotation at the moment: new White Stripes (good, but not Elephant good), Red House Painters, Songs for a Blue Guitar (I just got a copy of it after not having it for while, man is it good).
I am coming off a major obsession with the entire Bright Eyes catalog. It's suprisingly strong. A really really good CD I discovered in my obsessing is called Home Vol. 4 and it is Britt Daniels (Spoon) and Connor Oberst (Bright Eyes) together.
I am gonna e-mail my favorite song from that and this freaking amazing cover of the Flaming Lips' "Waiting for a Superman" done by Iron and Wine on Morning Becomes Eclectic (got it off of Sounds Eclectic Vol. 3) to buffistarawk g mail just for fun.
Oh, and calmparent-ma to Gandalfe.

Hey, I just got to the end of a pantload of posts and there's one from Tina! Hi, Tina!
So, reporting in: Haven't heard the Mountain Goats yet. Love the new Spoon. Also love the new Go-Betweens and Eric Matthews. And the live Jandek (yes, I know there must be something wrong with me). Only other things I bought recently are reissues: The G-Bs' 16 Lovers Lane, Crooked Rain Crooked Rain, the Kinks Are the Village Green etc. 3 disc thing from last year. I'm going to get that Cardinal re-release as soon as I have the time and scratch.
Oh, and synchronicity-wise, I was listening to Mark Kozelek's What's Next To The Moon this very day.
Best luck to Gandalfe.

Hey Corwood!

This is like the third time that's happened.
::cue creepy music::
Check out that Daniels/Oberst mp3 I sent to the gmail account. It is mucho bueno.
And when I start typing in Spanish and think it's heee-larious it's time to go to bed.
