Oh, incidentally, while looking up the Cowsills on Wikipedia, I found out the sad news that Barry Cowsill drowned during Katrina in NO.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Via The Morning News, here's a collection of Bauhaus tracks.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm downloading Tom Waits famous (locally anyway) 1999 concert at the Paramount Theater in Oakland from that same site. (The Paramount is where our wedding guests joined us to see Viva Las Vegas the night before the wedding.)

Oh, look. There's a new Deerhoof EP on that site, too.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Is it the one with the covers? If it is, they have that EP free at their own website, too.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Any Chicagoistas interested in going to the Touch and Go Records 25th Anniversary Celebration at the 10th Annual Hideout Block Party?
It's September 8-10, and FAQWife & I are definitely there! I purchased a couple of extra tickets which I'd be happy to give to anyone able to provide us with a bed for the weekend.
Anyone? Bueller? Tina?

I think I'ma gonna have to get me these: [link]
"All the instruments use "new proximity sensor technology, pre-programmed songs [and] interchangeable instrument sounds" to "enable kids to mix and layer music with a simple wave of their hands." Entertainment Weekly played with them at Toy Fair: "While the keyboard is interesting, it's the motion-sensor instrument that responds when you wave your hand over the tubes that floored me. But the best part? The ability to hook your iPod up to them and mix over your favorite songs."

Tom Waits Covers 2
Pop Songs
"Martha" - Tim Buckley. I'm always kind of surprised that Jeff Buckley's fans don't spend more time discovering his Dad, whose voice was just as spectacular. This song is from Tom's first album, which generated lots of covers and probably kept him in kibble for years. Gorgeous and melodic and with one of Tom's big, soaring choruses.
"Ol '55" - Ian Mathews. Again from the first album. Paired with "Martha" as an example of Tom's ability to write the pop song when he's of a mind. (see also: "Downtown Train"). This song was most famously covered by The Eagles, and Dave Alvin does a fine version as well. But like Tim Buckley, Ian's got a magnificent voice and it's always interesting to hear Tom's songs paired with the more conventionally pretty.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
Hecubus, sir, thank you for the Tom Waits covers. I have a friend that may explode with joy when he comes to hear Tim Buckley cover 'Martha'.
