This must be what going mad feels like.

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.

In memory of the Music II thread: A much deserved fugging of Chaka Khan.

Also, I checked ticketmaster today and Ohio and Atlanta Waits shows are going in the 65-72 dollar range. No word on Chicago, but those prices are lower than I expected.

That's not too far off from what I paid in Boston for the MULE VARIATIONS tour t /memfault years ago, so scarf those puppies up if you can!!!

Seriously - if I wasn't evented out at this point from multiple weddings, I'd try and get Chicago tickets and visit that city for the first time just to see Waits again.

Is there a new album due/out, or is this just delayed REAL GONE and/or playing the tunes for the masses?

The only thing I know of that's forthcoming is Orphans which is a big set of songs which didn't belong on other albums. I had the impression it might be box set sized. But like Neil Young and Prince, Tom's got a huge backlog of unreleased stuff.

This is not a bad thing, and he might be going for a "beat the bootleggers" move.

Hell no!

He had to buy the Alice tapes off eBay. They were stolen out of his car.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

I have recently discovered that I can't scan a page of text with the word 'South' on it without thinking, for a moment, that it reads 'Sonic Youth'. How the name of a band I don't particularly care for has come to replace a much more heavily used word is beyond me.

Get out of my cooler, Sonic Youth!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Okay, it took me way too long to realize that "South" is actually a word I am familiar with and not some strange word that rhymes with "truth."

Art Crawl!!!

I think that you are confusing south and "sooth" - one kind of rhymes with truth and the other kind of means it.

No, it's just that I scanned the post and saw that there was a connection between "South" and "Sonic Youth" so I pronounced "South" as some sort of "Sonic Youth" portmanteau.
