And, of course, I can't go. I forgot that I have a Cub Scouts retreat with my boys. So... I'm giving the tix to a friend whose birthday is right around that time. And, the Cub Scout thing is always a lot of fun anyway. Still: damn.

The Godfathers - Birth, School, Work, Death/Unreal World various artists - New Tales to Tell: A Tribute to Love & Rockets Wings - Venus & Mars

And, this morning, I won tickets to see Steely Dan. Damn. They're gonna cut me off if I keep this up. (Although, this was a different contest -- this one was phone-in, while the Hornsby tix were online and I don't even remember registering for those!)

So Frank, have you ever checked out the Joe Pisapia stuff? What did you think?

What do you think I'll say? Here is a link to his MySpace page, complete with streaming samples: http://www.myspace.com/joepisapia "Dancing Partner" kills me every time. So, YES

As well-documented elsewhere at this site: Joe Pisapia - Daydreams is my likely #1 of the decade/century/millennium. But that is too far under the radar to make any major list, I am sure; which is a crime.

A brand-new Madness record? I found no chatter about this when I performed a search, so... I just wanna know what you all think of it. Here's the AllMusic review that sounds pretty damn good: 4.5 STARS Not bad.

I'll be interested to see the albums that DIDN'T make the cut. My top 10 is most-likely made up just about entirely of albums that probably didn't. Maybe Nick Cave did? If not, they are total morons. It's not like that album was any more under the radar than The Decemberists or something like that.

Jim Ford - Point of No Return Bloque - Bloque Rockpile - Seconds of Pleasure My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves Paul Weller - Wild Wood

Demolition Derby: A Crash Course In New Music From Yep Roc Records A 2004 label comp. Tracklisting: 1. Doublewide -- Southern Culture On The Skids 2. Blues That Defy My Soul -- Dexter Romweber 3. Slingshotz & Boomerangz -- C. C. Adcock 4. Too Bad That You're Done -- Two Dollar Pistols 5. Alive -- Chris Stamey; 6. Anyway -- Amy Farris 7. Don't Die -- Ken Stringfellow 8.

The Forgotten Fridays -- The Minus 5 15. Tro

Anyway... This weekend, I had a bottle of this: And of this:

Just received a great, big package o' music today. So, this will be an evolving list, as I peruse the spoils. Right this minute: Ducks Deluxe - Ducks Deluxe/Taxi to the Terminal Zone

Um.... yeah.

Not totally clear, but it sounds like it could be a solo show, by the way this is worded. No mention of a band, at least. And "part of our singer-songwriter series" kinda hints at a solo performance, no?
