I screwed up the Beefheart quote entirely. It's "Ornette's not a jazz musician, he's a painter. Most people are afraid to play with Ornette-a lot of people are afraid to go into the area of genius. They don't think they can take it 'cos they keep believing they have to measure things out. You can't measure genius. That's why someone like Cecil Taylor is not a genius. Taylor just keeps measuring that piano-what's the point of that?"
Willow: That's a work ethic! Buffy, you're developing a work ethic! Buffy: Do they make an ointment for that?
'Beneath You'
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.

Joe, it just takes practice. Like a workout.
I have Eidos earbuds and while they are pricey, they are wicked good.

Or, you know, Carnegie Hall.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I just saw Demetri Martin work out some new jokes, including "I've always wanted to live near Carnegie Hall. Then, if people asked me where I lived I'd say, 'practice, practice, practice, make a left.'"

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Fans of offbeat cross-cultural fads, rejoice! During the '50s, Yugoslavia embraced Mexican culture with fervor. Why? Yugoslav premier and strongman Josip Tito broadcast Mexican films on television as an alternative to Soviet programming. The films were a hit, and they inspired dozens of Yugoslav musicians to don mariachi outfits and croon cantina ballads in their native Slavic tongues. Slovenian novelist Miha Mazzini has lovingly assembled a jaw-dropping gallery of album covers and song clips from the golden age of Yu-Mex. Djordje Masalovic's album cover for "Meksiko" says it all -- a pudgy white guy in a sombrero. There are also several dark-eyed, frilly-dress enchantresses, such as Miroslava Mrda. Don't miss the song samples; they're must-listen material. Gracias, Belgrade!

Wow, that's right up there with the large Latino fan contingent of Morrisey for "huh?"

No Chicago dates...
Slowcore godfathers Alan Sparhawk (Low, Black Eyed Snakes) and Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon) are joining forces, along with Duluth comrades Eric Pollard and Matthew Livingstone, as the "Retribution Gospel Choir" for a U.S. tour this fall...Word on the street is that the Choir is a full-blown rock band.[link]
Lots of Southern and West Coast cities but the closest thing to me (so far) is Minneapolis. And of course:
08-30 Lawrence, KS - Gaslight Tavern
The Gaslight is teeny itsy bitsy small. What a great place to see them. Sigh.
Thanks for the earbud info, all. I am still trying to decide.

Jilli - did you get special advance word on the Bauhaus show? I've been trying to find tour info, and their official web site just says to stay tuned for an announcement.
