What I have been listening to the last 2 days: Hem - No Word from Tom.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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.

Sheryl -- Many a thereminist has been accused of emulating cat-torturing sounds. You're in good company.
Glad you had fun. What was the thereminist's name?

Alatriste teaser, I think we may have seen this before.
Wrong thread? Or am I missing something?

The guy who runs Misra Records lives right around the block from my house. My wife and his wife hang out sometimes.
I'm listening to Wilco - Kicking Television at the moment, but my recent playlist has been featuring the new Bats album, the two Deerhoof releases from last year, and Neko Case's Fox Confessor Brings The Flood.

I found it funny that I'd heard about a Toronto band from someone (on another thread) from Austin. But if their US label is from Austin, that makes more sense.

ARGH! So it occurs to me that I have totally screwed up and missed my deadline. Sorry gang. I haven't even had a moment to look at my CDs. I'll be able to put ont together, but I think this is where I move to the back of the line.
Sorry.

People of the music thread: I am hear to report that I saw Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! last night (and I have a brand spanking new t-shirt to prove it) and they were very very good. (And young! And nice guys it seemed - later at the bar they didn't seem to mind at all that I interrupted their pool game to drunkenly tell them that their new stuff sounded really good and that could the NCAA tournament final be more boring this year? But that's OK because Florida winning meant that I won my office pool and lots of money and can I buy them a beer? OK.)
But what I am really here to report is that the band that opened for them were really really really good: the Brunettes a band from New Zealand that plays lots of odd instruments (like one of those tiny keyboards you blow into through a long hose) and sings songs about Mary Kate and Ashley Olson with actual MK/Ashley masks on. They were a lot better than that sounds, and I actually haven't seen a band I liked so much so quickly since the first time I saw Andrew Bird live. This morning I bought their last album and an EP off of the Sub Pop site (their American label apparently) but you can hear them I think off that link above if you desire.
That's my news.
