Today's obsession is Andrew Bird
I've got two of his earlier albums, Oh The Grandeur and The Swimming Hour. Ya gotta like a guy who can write a song titled "Tea and Thorazine."
Slay-er? Chosen One. She who hangs out a lot in cemeteries? You're kidding. Ask around. Look it up: Slayer comma The.

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.

I just downloaded the Swimming Hour from emusic this very moment. (Sidenote: The guy I am sorta kinda maybe seeing right now went to highschool with him.) His set at Intonation was the best of the day.
In other news - I just used iTunes 4.9 to download this morning's Breakfast of Champions and it was SO DARN EASY. I love it! (Before 4.9 you had to use this little pod application - still easy, but iTunes is a easier.) Jon played "Casimir Pulaski Day" and the band of the week is Jesus and Mary Chain - WOOT!
I kinda love slow-at-work Fridays when I am in a music hungry mood like this and have bandwith to burn.

Jon played "Casimir Pulaski Day"
And two of my learned listeners called in to tell me that
a) There is a statue of Casimir Pulaski on the Boston Common
b) There is a section of the Southeast Expressway near the Boston Globe named after Casimir Pulaski.
Speaking of iTunes, there are (finally) some Lothars tunes available at the store! Thank you, CD Baby!

Wait a minute -- I haven't updated the podcast yet. Are you sure you got this morning's show and not the one from two weeks ago? (I was out of town last Friday)

Now that you say that I bet the Pulaski Skyway (if you've gone through the Holland Tunnel you probably went over the Skyway on the Jersey side) is named after him. <Google, Google, Google> Yep. "When it opened in 1932, the Pulaski Skyway earned design accolades from the American Institute of Steel Construction, which bestowed on the skyway the honor of 'Most Beautiful Steel Structure' among long-span bridges." It's either gone downhill or didn't have much competition.

Oh. Darn. I haven't listened yet - I wanted today's - I already have the one from two weeks ago.
Hmm. iTunes will download it automatically when you update, yes?

I think there's a way to force it to check (under settings). I just updated the podcast so try it out.
t on edit Actually, I think you just click the "update" button in the upper right corner.
