I'm actually playing an early (7:00) show that night, in that very neighborhood. So close, and yet so far away...

Well, as long as the original intent of the thread has long gone by the wayside, I will hop in to the (very cool) new direction it has taken: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8dC9M6OCkE

Pete Townshend looses the hearing in his right ear (when the drum kit goes "BOOM"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utpjQFBuQQM

Aw hell... I now have BOTH HoP records and the Cash Cow record up at our Bandcamp page: http://hoponpop.bandcamp.com Let's see if anything happens...

The day they finally let Marvin Gaye get out from behind the drums and sing.

Bought it for a buck at Half-Price Books. It's been a long time since I've read it and while I didn't exactly forget about how startling "A Perfect Day For Bananafish" is, reading it again still had a visceral impact. Still makes me say "DAMN."

Happy birthday!

Just took the DVDs out from my local library and, I know that I'm not telling any of you anything new, but this is maybe the greatest TV show of all time. Almost certainly my next DVD purchase. A tragedy that one season is all that it had.

At the urging of some friends, I made our old (1994) record available for DL here: http://hoponpop.bandcamp.com/album/rbgh If you like it, there is one more track available, that I have not posted there.

I used to have Aleph and Bet from Masada, but was not aware that they had done anything else together since the early 90's. I loved those records and should probably go dig them up again sometime. Thanks for the reminder.

Is that a John Zorn thing?

This.

I just want to get to a game this year.

The Left Banke - "Walk Away Renee" The Cure - "Lovesong"

Since we all love to make lists... PopTodd's favorite YLT albums: Electr-o-Pura Fakebook I Am Not Afraid of You and Will Beat Your Ass Painful I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One And then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out May I Sing With Me

I just seem to keep running through album after album today! Glad that it brought me to this sweetheart of an album. I love it:

Enjoy the discovery! There's a lot out there to hear!

Yup. I like it a lot, too. Pretty much pure rocksteady, which is nice to hear from him.

Happy birthday, HH!
