That's actually pretty funny. I would quote that. Now I want to hear it.
:: bets self $10 that emusic has it::

Damn! They have one of their albums (with "Houston" and "Manhattan" on it but no "Omaha"). I now owe myself $10.
Hey! I forgot one of these Bottom of the Hudson songs is from your Best of 2003 mix, Jon. Huh.
What a ton of non-substantive things I have posted today. Em....I promise to stop because it's beer-with-co-workers-then-goin-home time. If anyone is in a music store this weekend and remembers, check if you see a CD (any) from a band called Les Breastfeeders. They're from Canada, and I can't find them here or online. If you feel inclined to buy, I'd appreciate it but you could just let me know where you see them and I can contact them myself.

Yeah, that's the new one, and it's also really good. It's different from the first one; there's more focus on lyrical content, and it's a little less frenetic. "Houston" is very nice, and if you want to try out a few tracks, I also recommend "Beauty Deluxe" and "A Viewing." I also think music aficionados would appreciate "Crush on Radio."

They're great. French Canadian Garage Punk. WMBR has played them lots. Some mp3's, and a link to buy their CD, is here: [link]
I had not known that your show was Podcasted, Jon! Now I gotta get on that crazy podcast train!!
Andrew Bird shows up on a bunch of Chicago alt-country stuff other than his own -- he plays on the Handsome Family's "Up Falling Rock Hill," and his violin playing totally makes the song.
I'd like to apologize for the high-pitched
"SQUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
that some of you may have sensed. Bauhaus are re-forming. A new album and world tour are planned for next year.

In related news, I just ripped the David J collection with the old V for Vendetta stuff on it for you. It'll be included with the Glam, Neo-Glam and Dark Cabaret stuff (with Hannah Fury).

A co-worker gave me half the album and I desperately want the other half. Thanks, Jon.

I am enjoying the
The Swimming Hour
and this weekend I heard a lot of guys who went to highschool with him talking about what a band nerd he used to be but how all along they kind of knew he was going to be a rock star, albeit a bit of an eccentric one.
Hey Corwood -- I assume you know about the US Jandek shows? [link]
I've been sitting on the knowledge that he's playing Austin for about 3 weeks, so I'm ecstatic that it's all out in the open, 'cause I hate keeping big secrets.
