Bacon and cigarettes make a lousy dinner.

11/26/07: The Creation - Our Music is Red

All I've heard are the first 2 albums. I love them both, so I guess I should pick up Buhloone Mind State, eh?

But, does it have that great book smell? Reading is a tactile experience as much as an intellectual one. And that tactile experience cannot be replicated by a piece of electronic doo-hickery.

I suppose that "Tables & Chairs" is just tickling the bottom of that top 5 of mine. "THERE WILL BE SNACKS!!!"

The songs that I can play over and over again: "Ju Ju Man" - Brinsley Schwarz "She Moves In Her Own Way" - The Kooks "You've Really Got A Hold On Me" - Smokey Robinson "You Still Believe In Me" - Beach Boys "What Do You Think Of Love?" - Shrimp Boat

Actually heard a short debate on this on NPR last night. Both sides were in agreement that it was an exciting breakthrough and would be preferable to using embryonic cells. But the scientific side offered a caveat that.. it would be IF the non-embryonic cells were as effective as the embryonic ones. The pro-life side refused to acknowledge that possibility and simply went on ahead with the fact that the current research has been promising. So they agreed, but in totally different ways. Odd.

A newer song that easily fits the criteria: "She Moves In Her Own Way" by The Kooks Seriously contagious and fun and... perfect.

11/21/07 Pulp - Different Class My Bloody Valentine - Loveless The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds Dogbowl - Flan

Pat DiNizio - Songs & Stories

Neither mine nor my wife's names are in the top 5,000.

I am now out of my chair and doing a little dance!

bass, keys, drums -- and backing vocals. any other instruments would be swell, too. Drop me a line? Thanks!

11/19/07: Jeff Mangum - Live @ Jittery Joe's The Minders - Golden Street Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production Of Eggs

I was always lukewarm on them. But now, they are at the top of my "must see" list. Yeah. "Damn" is right. Damn.

NP: Harry Nillsson - Nillsson Schmillsson

I just started a profile. So new I don't even know the link yet.

Wild Wood is my favorite. In fact, that period is just about the only period that I listen to from his solo career. There is also an out-of-print B-Sides collection from those sessions called More Wood that is just about as good as the proper album. So yeah, start with Wild Wood.

Another one: "Seems So" - The Apples In Stereo

And while I will reitterate props for the Beach Boys selection, I will come up with yet another option: I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better" - The Byrds I mean, it's simple, it's catchy, and it just flows exactly the way that it's supposed to flow. But it never gets old. Perfect.

11/16/07: The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin Tenpole Tudor - Swords Of A Thousand Men: Best Of V/A - African Guitar Summit 2 Dwight Yoakam - dwightyoakamacoustic.net Mavis Staples - We'll Never Turn Back

The La's pick is a great one. But you also need: "September Gurls" - Big Star others: "So It Goes" and "Cruel To Be Kind" - Nick Lowe "Raspberry Beret" - Prince "Live" - The Merry-Go-Round And just about anything by Smokey Robinson

Brion sounds awesome. But, as you will soon learn, wife and I do not do many shows. Are you going? Have a great time!

I was, at various times: "D
