You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Betsy, if you are still looking for New Orleans music

I just remembered another NOLA act! The Cold was a New Wave band, very popular locally during the very early '80s.

I eagerly await the conflict of interest when she reviews a Lothars show.

"And last, but certainly not least, theremin player Jon Bernhardt creates magic with his hands. A deeply, deeply satisfying experience. I would recommend it to everyone... except that he's MINE! So stay the fuck away!"

NY Times has an article on the Inntonation Festival that I went to this weekend. I had no idea 15,000 people went (over two days) or that some Pitchfork reviewers make $17 per review!

Be sure to go down to the slide show feature to see a lovely pic of Petra Haden.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sweet! I found a download of Back in Denim by Denim, a very OOP early 90s album by the guy from Felt. It's very neo-Glam.

You know, Tina, the more I listen to Illinois the more I think this might be a five star record. It is so beautiful and human. Soft Bulletin, Aeroplane, XO, Illinois... Maybe could be.
