no worries and parties are always good.
'Harm's Way'
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.
woohoo, just bought tix to see Elvis Costello. I was bumming because I usually see him at least once a year when he plays NYC, but thought I would miss out this year, BUT NO. Turns out tix are the perfect birthday gift for my brother.
I'm still a bit bummed that Roky's playing the ACL Fest (his first live show in some 20-odd years) the year after I swore off it for good, and here I am, too stubborn to buy tickets again.
First, many congrats and happy wishes, joe!!
Second, thanks again for buying/mailing those CDs, Hec.
Third, I saw Wille Nelson and Bob Dylan last night for free (it was our office summer party). I have to say - Wille was fun but Dylan was amazing. I got chills like five times. Not just because he played "I Shall Be Released" and "Times they are A Changin'" - but because he was just plain rocking out and I was pretty close to the stage and I could see his eyes and he looked healthy and happy. It was great.
Sunday I am seeing the Wrens and the Decemberists at a music fest here. $15. Can't beat that.
I owe you CDs, don't I, Tina?
I wouldn't say you owe me, Corwood. But I did mention that I would like a copy of your last year-best-of mix. There was something else...just a sec...hmm searching the thread for "tina, CD, corwood" got me 232 results so...not that helpful.
I think there was something else but I just can't remember what it was.
BTW, this weekend I downloaded Oceans Apart (new Go-Betweens) from emusic and I'm enjoying it a lot.
That's a lot of results! I definitely have a year-end mix for you (it's like Xmas in July!), and would be more than happy to send you any number of other CDs.
David, the CDs arrived! Thank you so much! I'll get a check in the mail to you ASAP.
Paging Hecubot! Paging Hecubot!
Are there any stores in your fair city that carry back issues of gothy magazines? I'm trying to get my lace-gloved hands on old issues of Propaganda. Bonus points if you can track down issues of New Grave OR Meltdown (which is from the UK).

Well, there's The Magazine which sells back issues of every magazine it can get its hands on. I have scored some Gothy material there (including a Dave Vanian cover when he had long hair and a puffy pirate shirt), but I doubt they organize that stuff like they do their vintage issues of Vogue or Playboy. You should call them.
You can also try Anubus Warpus on Haight Street. They carry contemporary mags, but have a bunch of old stock around.
