I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

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.

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.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
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).

They're great. French Canadian Garage Punk. WMBR has played them lots. Some mp3's, and a link to buy their CD:
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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
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.

Our wings are not tired
For those of you who are both Elfman fans and enjoyed the new Charlie and Chocolate Factory, the version of the album for sale through iTunes includes three exclusive bonus tracks. They are remixes that seem to be quite fun, just grabbed the album.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
I saw the Posies the night before last. The venue was tiny, the band had to walk along the seats beside our table to get off the stage, which made the whole encore thing a bit of a labour. But they were great. Occasionally shirtless and great.
