The Pernice Brothers are psyched.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Heh, I just got the e-mail mentioning that from the Pernice Brothers list. Pretty neat.

Up with the sun
The Pernice Brothers are psyched.
And they gave me a new tagline.
- twirls, preens*
(For the record, it is: "There is no love triangle, love rhombus, nor love trapezoid. There is only love.")

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
And see, I was TRYING to save myself the time of typing it.
I am inadvertantly mean.

Gang of Four interview & performance.
This one is billed as "A Bill Frisell Collaboration", which to my way of thinking is rather misleading as he isn't on the show. It's Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez. Granted they're promoting an album they recorded with Frisell, but Bill isn't in the studio! Playing the part of Bill Frisell (no pun intended) is John Platania, who to me (& I'm willing to bet to David), will always be "Van Morrison's guitarist John Platania."
There's a Richard Thompson one, too, which I haven't listened to yet. The page has a link to Linda on Fresh Air. I must have listened to this but don't remember. She's talking about David Thomas. No, I haven't heard this. (Though I did see David Thomas open for RT once at the Bayou. I think it was the Bayou. I saw RT at a bunch of places in and around DC. Anyway DT did a spoken word/performance art thing. 'Tweren't my cuppa tea.)
ETA: Linda's mother was "Vera Love, Specialty Dancer." I bet Georgie took her out on his spree.

Oh, dude, if I were the Pernice Brothers, I'd be psyched, too! That's a catchy little tune they wrote for him, too -- just reading the title got the chorus going in my head again.
Jon, I'm loving having the BoC podcasts! Except it's weird to hear the voice of someone I know on my iPod. I know the sound is coming from my earbuds, but part of me expects to see you walking down the street next to me when I hear you....!

Friday music thread discussion topic:
What song would you play at every birthday party you would ever throw for yourself?
I am doing a Frankenmix trade amongst some friends and this is the category I am having the most trouble with - I thought I could steal one of y'alls ideas hearing others' choices might inspire something...
And here is another one I am having trouble with:
A song that mentions a piece of art (movie, sculpture, poem, whatev.)
Also, my copy of Low and Dirty Three's In the Fishtank arrived yesterday - the cover of "Down by the River" is creepifyingly gorgeous. I love it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
A song that mentions a piece of art (movie, sculpture, poem, whatev.)
A few ideas:
"Vincent" by Don McLean (Van Gogh's Starry Night)
"Mona Lisa" by Nat "King" Cole
"Dangling Conversation" by Simon and Garfunkel (doesn't mention any particular poem, but name-checks Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost)
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something
"Love Is Just Around the Corner" by Bing Crosby (Venus de Milo)
"You're the Top," written by Cole Porter, recorded by Ethel Merman among others (many, including the Mona Lisa, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Dante's Inferno, and Whistler's Mother)
"Harper Valley P.T.A" by Jeannie C. Riley (Peyton Place)
