Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

More later, including details of my sidetrip to Athens to see the Olivia Tremor Control and the Tall Dwarfs play in a forest on Saturday. Gotta catch my flight outta here!

I take it that the published rumors that Jeff Mangum might make a surprise appearance proved untrue?

You read that he showed up with OTC at their show in NYC last week, right?

Yep, indeed.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Which was in the same venue as the Hold Steady show, leaving my friends who had been at both shows awed at their excellent streak at the place.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Huh. The Pixies and Elvis Costello played the Newport Folk Festival this past weekend. (bugmenot: projo@dodgeit.com/bugmenot)

And Bob Dylan is the one making like Nelson.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

Any opinions on James Blunt? He just did a mini-concert here at the Coffee Monster HQ, and I was intrigued. He apparently has the #1 single and album in Britain. Never heard of him, but if he knocked that frog ring-tone off the top of the charts, he gets many points from me.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Alicia, I've heard the single ("You're Beautiful"). Pure, straight-up pop along the lines of Lobo or Jim Croce. The song is based on a clever idea, and he sells it well -- it's my favorite song of the summer. I'm not sure I'd buy the album, though, because I think he'd wear thin after half an hour or so.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

You've probably heard his other song in closer (Can't take my eyes off you...can't take my eeeeeyyyyyyeeees off you). He's dull. His special move is that he was a soldier.

Corwood, how old is yr son that you're reading him Moby Dick? Should I be worried that, at 3 months, Seth hasn't started on Infinite Jest?
