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.
Shit! Andy from Linus? He's a great guy. We did a spoken word gig together once and he did a piece which included the line "she's been with women, I've been with men, there's no limitation on being feminine". Terrible band, lovely guy.
Corwood -- your CD got here yesterday! Many thanks, I'll listen to it in the car today.
Cute bambino on the cover.
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'm also a big fan of Kozelek's AC/DC covers.
Corwood, I got a big package of mixes from you yesterday.

I'm sorry, Jim. It didn't sound good.
Glad y'all got the mixes. Sorry to read about Andypop.
The
La Mala Educacion (Bad Education)
soundtrack is good.
Did anyone pick up
The Woods
yet???? Didja, didja, huh?
If "picked up" includes listening to it at my radio station and ripping it to my laptop's iTunes, then yes!
