Man, Jon, that sucks. And is at the same time completely unsurprising.

Oh, Theo, I love "Potato." She did it in a concert at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco once, after a long monologue about how she tries really hard to write something musical every single day, even if it's just a rhymed couplet or a bar or two of something she can noodle around with on her guitar. She went on and on about wandering out in the fields by her house being all open-minded and drifty and receptive to whatever her muse has to send her that day, and then added that some days, like the "Potato" day, the muse comes by with an offering to which the only sane response is "You have GOT to be fucking shitting me."

Two NT papers, counting
East Bay Express.

Can't find it on this side of the Bay; we just have the SF Weekly. But, yeah, the Bay Area generally is infested with NT weeklies.
::ponders::
So is the Bay Guardian actually the only surviving non-chain paper in the entire Bay Area, or is there some plucky independent in the North or South Bay I'm memfaulting on?

Hello, lovely people! This is sort of a cry for help?
Thanks to JZ and Hec, I had a fabulous set of
Schoolhouse Rock
CDs, which I loved and hugged and cherished and called George, and used in the classroom.
In a tragic packing accident,
Grammar Rock
was damaged en route to the UK in the summer, and thus I wasn't able to save it to iTunes or, you know, use it ever again.
weeps.
If anyone has MP3s of any of the
Grammar Rock
songs, particularly 'Unpack your Adjectives', I should be undyingly grateful if you could email me them to thingsinvisibletosee at gmail dot com.

I've got them all. I'll send them, Fay.
Yay!
Downloading now! Thank you!

So... heard any good tunes lately?
Been listening to Thea Gilmores new album the last two weeks. So good the hair on my toes still stand up.
So far, the only bad thing on the record is that they've put Play Until the Bottle's Gone as a "hidden track" instead of just making it the twelft track proper. I hate that kind of thing.

I've been listening to her cover of the Clash's "I'm Not Down" for the last couple months. Brilliant! I love her voice. I should get more Thea.
Ooh - thanks for the Thea Goilmore recommendation. Am downloading now. As Hec says, her version of "I'm Not Down" is amazing. Am now playing her cover of "Ever Fallen in Love" which is also way-good. (I should be a music critic, with adjectives such as "way-good.")
