I had no desire to see it. But now I find out that it is the flick that they (partially) filmed in my little burg: a scene in a supermarket, and I guess there was a scene on a block where one of my little one's friends lives. Guess that I gotta go now.

That last one is: Leo Lago - Venturas e desventuras do engenhoso Cavalleiro do Lago A bedroom musician from Brazil, who tickles that same part of me that digs Tom Zé. Not just because he's Brazilian, but because he's similarly warped.

From what I've been hearing about the Malkmus disc, I may have to pick that damn thing up. Damnit.

Listening to this song now, and it made me thing of this old thread: "I Still Miss Someone" - Johnny Cash Goddamn beautiful song. Lonely and sad.

This.

Just acquired. Blues-based garage psych. All fuzz, all the time. And some pretty great melodies, to boot. Really digging this. RIYL: King Khan, White Stripes, Pretty Things, The Sonics

Just heard a song from these guys at Turntable.fm and it blew me away. Anyone know anything about them? Is it worth shelling out import prices for the album, or can I just pick up the singles collection? Here's the AMG writeup for what appears to be their only album: Anyone?

I forgot one of the best, if not THE best! Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham (opening for Nick Lowe) Went to see one of my favorite songwriters and would up seeing a national treasure before Nick even hit the stage!

I saw Cornershop a few times and, as much as I love their albums, they have to be one of the most BORING live acts that I have ever seen. So disappointing. Every single time (maybe 3 or 4 times). They were even boring when I saw them in a tiny little record store. Now that takes genuine, deep-down... something. Were they actually good/exciting when you saw them, or did you include them on your list just because you like them?

Just saw this in the theater and I really, really enjoyed it. A good story, well-acted, and effective 3-D. 7/10 I've never seen the original, but now I really want to.

I thought that we did this topic somewhere, sometime before, but I can't seem to find it. So, that said, let's start over. Who are the best/your favorite bands that you saw as openers for somebody else? And who did they open for? Uncle Tupelo (opening for fIREHOSE) Pulp (opening for Blur) Pearl Jam (opening for Red Hot Chili Peppers) The Pogues (opening for Violent Femmes) Mojo Nixon and Skid Roeper (opening for Violent Femmes) Stereolab (opening for Tortise) Tortise (opening for Stereolab) M.O.T.O. (opening for Falstaff) Joe Pug (opening for Aimee Mann) Jim O'Rourke (opening for Tom Zé) T-P

New 4- song EP. Just downloaded it, and it is exactly what I expected. Homespun BritPop in the same vein as Robyn Hitchcock. Just good songwriting and clever wordplay. Love it.

Looks like Martin has just released a new 4-song EP. He's selling it for $5 (US) from his web site. (Click the pic).

One of my favorite Nick songs. The piano on there kills, as does the bass.

Oh, and I remember that I already posted THIS THREAD. I just wanted to make something for posting YouTubes and such.

Just because I love this guy and want you all to hear him, too. No doubt there are at least one or two other fans out there, too. So, let's hear it for the Wildman of Wivenhoe!!! Recommended for fans of Robyn Hitchcock, The Kinks, Syd Barrett, XTC, etc...
