As a UofI alum, I think I need that mojo. . . perhaps I'll take a little jaunt out to Borders tomorrow.

'Shells'
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 think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
I saw 'em open for the Replacements in 1990, and they were pretty good then.
If you haven't heard any of their stuff since, I'd highly recommend Frosting on the Beater. It's poppy as all heck but it's punctuated by moments of, I don't know, desperate sadness. The way the songs undercut themselves, it's like watching someone put a brave face on while they fall apart.
And speaking of Nerve, here's a Sufjan Stevens interview.
What considered responses. Makes me feel much better about spending 20 quid I don't have on Illinois.

That's the essence of top-notch power-pop.

Speaking of power pop there's a Big Star bio out now.
Did you know they were playing Gibsons on those records, Corwood? Who plays power pop on a Les Paul?

Really? I'd always assumed they were Fender through Fender or Gibson hollowbodies. But Les Paul? Not what I think of when I think of power pop. In fact, when I've seen Big Star (with the Posies filling in, natch), they've pretty much kept to the Fender products - Chilton on a Strat or Tele and Auer on a Fender Coronado (which is pretty damn sweet).

Anybody got a favorite Pernice Brothers record?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I need to feel justified for spending what I spent on the import of the new Imogen Heap album. Anyone want me to mail 'em a copy?
