No interest then.

No interest now.

Anyone catch it?

I love that series!

I think I've seen maybe 7 or 8 different episodes. Ahmet (the guy who ran Atlantic Records) was another really interesting one.

So cool.

But I do think that Bob Newhart is my favorite.

I don't really like Fakebook.

[obnoxious music board braggadacio]That's because YOU'RE WRONG!!!![/obnoxious music board braggadacio]

I've always dug YLT, but there records have never hold up for me on repeated listen with the exception of there first Fakebook.

Have you listened to I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass?

Oh and to finish they did in one encore a cover of Sun Ra (something about nuclear bombs) I'd love to hear this again so if anyone knows which song I'm taking about, point me to the right direction please.

Nuclear War

It's a motherfucker

I haven't heard the YLT version of this, but I would love to!

how'd it go?

 

any VCers show (after your relentless self-promotion!)?

Went pretty well. Was a little uncomfortablw with the whole microphone thing, after so long. (I adjusted, though.)

And, as far as I know, there were no VCers there. Nobody who let me know, at least.

Hoodoo Gurus - Mars Needs Guitars

Hoodoo Gurus - Magnum Cum Louder

Brian Eno - Before & After Science

Sly & The Family Stone - There's A Riot Goin' On

Luke Doucet - Broken (and other rogue states)

Seriously, all I really know of his work are: Nilsson Schmilsson and Son Of Schmilsson, but judging by those two albums alone (and the critical responses to his other albums) why are we not talking about him in the same sentences as much bigger names?

He had a couple of hits. Yeah, not as many as some other bands, but... there are a lot of other bands that had fewer. (Pixies, although in a different time.) He had a 4-octave range(!?!?!), wrote great melodies, and had an oddball sense of humor that crept in more than just occasionally. It's got to be that last bit that some find distasteful. Still... I've only just started getting into him and cannot believe that it took me this long.

You're breaking my heart

You're tearing it apart

So fuck you

So pretty it makes me laugh.

Summer roadtrip to Colorado with the family.

The Iron Giant

Yeah, it's a kids' movie, but in the same way as The Nightmare Before Christmas. That is to say, it's not with a smile and a wink, but it truly works on an adult level.

Directed by Brad Bird (Ratatoullie, The Incredibles) who, for my money, is one of the best directors working today, period. Oh, and it's traditional -- not computer -- animation. A really great movie.

Could I catch the moon

On a big-wheeled wagon?

I'm braggin'

I'm always in love

I've been lukewarm about everything since Out Of Time.

I must be old.

After the breakup of my band's original lineup, I think I got one of these coming out of me soon. Just gotta get some folks, money, and a studio together. So, "soon" would be relative.

Now, back to it:

Daniel Johnston - Songs Of Pain

is pretty amazing.

I'm all lost in the supermarket

I can no longer shop happily

I came in here for that special offer

A guaranteed personality

I wasnt born so much as I fell out

Nobody seemed to notice me

We had a hedge back home in the suburbs

Over which I never could see

I heard the people who lived on the ceiling

Scream and fight most scarily

Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling

Thats how its been all around me

Chorus

I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes

I save coupons from packets of tea

I've got my giant hit discoteque album

I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free

The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls

Make me noises for company

Long distance callers make long distance calls

And the silence makes me lonely

Chorus

And its not here

It disappears

Im all lost
