Just renewed my membership to my local NPR station and got my gifts in the mail yesterday: a coffee mug, a half-pound of Intelligentsia coffee, and a This American Life flash drive. I think that the flash drive is about the coolest thing that I've gotten from them in my 3 years of membership, and that includes a big coffee table book about The Velvet Underground. Any of you all members of your local station? What are your favorite member gifts?

Just arrived. First listen. It is exactly what I wanted from a Butler/Anderson reunion: big, faggy, hooky glam. Not disappointed.

We live in Chicago, and dragged about 65 of our friends and family up to Traverse City, MI where we got married in her parents' back yard. Again, we knew everybody there. Well. It was an amazing weekend that everyone in attendance still talks about with much fondness (despite the complaints from family about having to travel all that way). But, ultimately, this is your day. Do what you want, and what you can. And, congratulations!

Hearing Jim's version of "Ju Ju Man" for the first time is like a freaking revelation. A whole new way of hearing one of my favorite songs of all time. love.

JUST ARRIVED!!! Listening now and am enjoying the hell out of it. The fairly terrible fidelity and off-handed performances make it really only for the existing members of the JF cult, but if you are One Of Us, you need this! This is pure songwriter stuff, with lots of glimpses into Ford's process. One piece of spoken bit from one of the tracks: "I am, like, a 'writer's writer.' Like, other writers love to hear what I flow..." Truer words have never been spoken.

JUST ARRIVED!!!

It's a message board. You take it too seriously. Oh, and my thread. My rules. So, sue me.

Same rules as the American poll: No solo artists, which includes bands with "...and the..." So, cast your vote for The Birthday Party.

To answer your question: No.

Los Lobos?

Again: The Byrds

Not touching the options anymore. Besides, I like Icehouse. And, apparently, so does somebody else who voted for them.

Byrds.

Added.

The Clean? Damn. More choices added under the guise of another question. I can do that, damnit.

I knew that I would forget more than one band. Too bad we only get 10 choices.

I love me some Oz Rock. Same rules as with the "Best American Band" category. And, no, I will NOT consider Air Supply nor The Wiggles for this category. Capice?
