Okay, so I lied.
First off, big big big congrats to Hec & JZ!!! David, is your mailing address the same as it was a few months ago? (Of course, the book I sent then never arrived...)
Sorry for the radio silence. The combination of trial prep, selling the house, & a trip to Milan and Lago Maggiore have kept me even from lurking much. Did see Theodosia's list & was happy that a couple of my Buffistamix choices were there. Which reminded me that I never finished, much less posted, my liner notes. Someday... Anyway, here are the pertinent ones. The one for Mojo (it's a he, not a they) isn't much help but whatever. Met him in Austin once, Corwood. He & Country Dick Montana were announcing the SXSW softball game.
3. Cross-genre cover song (such as a soul musician covering a country song)
The Raw Magillys - Back in the Saddle
The old Gene Autry tune, not the Aerosmith one, done in the style that Zeppelin used on their rockabilly update "Hot Dog." I'm also using this for 26 (terrible name) and could have used it for 14 (LITG). As for the latter, although there was plenty of groove, there weren't any grooves that I'm aware of. There was a terrific cassette, mostly originals plus this cover, which was replaced with (though not obviated by) a CD of inferior rerecordings of the same material plus a few extra tracks. Not sure what happened to guitarist Hildi Magilly, but singer Heidi Magilly - sibling status & names all for show - & the rhythm section are now performing as Atomic Swindlers. And if I still lived near Rochester I'd probably go see all their shows, too.
5. Makes you want to get high, drunk, or, if it's your druthers, dizzy & giddy from spinning around in circles
Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper - Gin Guzzlin' Frenzy
"Somebody git me a gin and tonic/Man I wants to get supersonic!"
Unfortunately I have to get back to the trial exhibit list, and I have to do it without a gin & tonic. Slavedrivers!
I thought you just bought the place.
Had to sell the old one to pay for the new one. Can't finishing buying until we're done selling. And congrats to you! (I think I saw something in announcements or somewhere that deserved it. I think my wife wants to talk to you about it.) And could you please send me MC's address if you have it handy? Grazie.

Joe, I'm gonna take it to email since I need your new address, I think. Unless you're still in your old place.
One thing that may have influenced my playing some of the Buffista Frankenmix more than others was that the earlier sets had a couple more weeks of rotation through my Smartlists, which may have ramped their numbers up some in relation to the songs that came later to my attention. But as a fair approach to judging what songs really hit my buttons, it seems a decent try....
It was cool to see a couple of mine on there too, Theo.
Beautiful baby pic, David. Keep 'em coming!
In the field of self-pimpage, I wrote a few words about a song I like by the band Akron/Family on my blog today (which is underneath the first paragraph's mea culpa for talking about frivolous music while the American Dream lies burning in the street).
Unless you're still in your old place.
For a couple more weeks at least. Heard this the other day & thought of you:"Tuvan throat singer Albert Kuvezin tells us about his album of classic rock covers: Re-Covers." At times he sounds a lot like Waits, then he'll sound like what TW might if he'd been listening to Diamanda Galas and thought, "Maybe I'll try singing like that." Definitely interesting.
Corwood, re: your rant: you're preaching to the choir, but Amen, brother! Further comment there. And thanks for the R&L video! She was pretty hot back in the day. You already know how I feel about her singing. Sigh.
For a couple more weeks at least.
Excellent! You know else is excellent? I found your package. It had arrived (without me knowing it) and immediately gotten buried under big magazines and did not get unearthed until this morning when I was moving stuff around to get ready for the baby. Yay, book!
