'Touched'
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.
Rio! I was just in Brooklyn this past weekend playing at this show: [link]
Until I moved in with Katherine I lived around the corner from there. That's Carroll. The next block is President, & I was half way down the block on Pres. Gotta get back to work.
Now I'm looking for a job.
Sistah! Well, I'm not actually looking so much since I'm working on the new book. But I too am jobless. Though in my plan I'm grill-less, so I can't pretend to be a short order cook. My plan is flawed.
How's the puppy? Big?

I just got the eight(!) CD singles from their subscription-only series yesterday (all 8 songs will be on their new full length out next month). If anything, the songs are even more ferocious than their last.
Good news for Kylie Minogue fans -- she's beating the cancer.

Excellent!

Jon, I picked up the new Calexico sight unseen (or, I guess, sound unheard - and it still is at this point), along with a Ladytron remix CD and the expanded re-release of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Have you heard it yet?
the new Calexico
I like it. No big surprises, but if you like Calexico, you'll like this one. "Deep Down" is the "hit", oddly buried as track 8 or 9.

That's what I was hoping to hear. I really need to see them live some time, dammit. One of the biggest minuses to being in Salem is not being walking/reasonable cab distance from home if I'm out at a club in Boston/Cambridge.
Thanks for the COMM, JohnS!
Jon [B] played a delightful set of pop songs including I Wanna Be Sedated. His programming of two moogerfoggers chained onto his EWPro gave his sound an knurly vocal quality that changed with pitch and volume adding to the expressive wit of his performance. His deadpan head bobbing brought exhilarated guffaws from the house. He used a digitech jam man for playback and ran it all through his fender amp. Being so self contained helped a lot in placement choices for this EWPro and he was a true pro as well having to endure re-setting up three times and was incredibly helpful with all his multi-men performance experience.
Wooo Jon B.!
Excellent!
Hey, Michael Stipe and Iggy Pop playing with the New York Dolls! Fun!
Less fun, one of the Pointer Sisters has died -- of cancer.
