Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

I saw 'em open for the Replacements in 1990, and they were pretty good then. I also saw two of 'em with Big Star.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

Oh, help.

My iTunes (with the iPod plugged in) is playing all the songs too fast, and therefore up several pitches. It's really annoying.

I unplugged the iPod and listened to a few songs through just the pod, and it was fine.

Has anyone had this happen?

Have you tried rebooting?
