speaking of one song being comprised of two covers... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9W6HOtPaPo&feature=related

not as much interesting items to me as compared to previous years...until i saw the last bit about regional small pressings... i think i would dig the Husker split, Urge 7", the Fahey LP, the GBV tribute, the BTP/Glenn Jones record, Steve Gunn/Ilyas Ahmed split, Howe Gelb 7", Oval/Liturgy, the Superchunk/Coliseum Misfits covers 7", and maybe that Neurosis lp.

if you have time, i really enjoyed eating here: http://www.local188.com/

i was hoping that the Neil was Young, not Finn.

i know someone in Minneapolis, if that helps.

the Bob Theil LP is excellent, kinda dreamy folk/prog/psych stuff.

this is a solid label: http://www.guerssen.com/empresa.html?idioma=eng

i believe it was Tom Petty who had Full Moon Fever.

Beddington's comments echo the stuff I've been reading, in regards to the height of the plume (as a result of a fire) and differences between Chernobyl and Fukushima. i hope he's right.

just the tonnage of fuel doesn't mean anything...reactor design, composition, reaction to the event, etc...all that i've read says that Fukujima is not nearly as catastrophic as Chernobyl was. maybe it's just propaganda, and we'll find out as the years go by.

i wonder if they'll preview some material @ Solid Sound.

Shrinebuilder covers Joy Division's "24 Hours"

i will say that just by looking at this small slice, it's amazing how horrible the #1 songs have become over the last ~20 years.

this is a cool cover, and the first time i'd heard of the Groundhogs...excellent guest guitar work by none other than Nick Saloman (aka the Bevis Frond).

Lou Barlow

no mention of a true icon yet (at least in text):

that is a fantastic cover. also nice to see another Delgados fan. loved that band.

which reminded me of:

heard "Secret of the Sea" while at a post-ski restaurant in Farmington, Maine yesterday.

i would think that some of it has to do w/ the pretty small theaters he's playing...hell, last electric show i saw in an arena had GA tickets for about $75. that's still a lot, but i certainly didn't feel cheated after the show. another part might be trying to beat the scalpers...had he priced floor seats at $100, i bet you'd find a lot of them at stubhub...as it is, what's the markup for a $250 ticket gonna be? probably not many people willing to pay more than that.

wow, you pulled that today? damn. i think all the floor seats are $250 face, right?

i tried today, and got seats in row Z...what seats did you get?

that's what i am guessing, so i don't feel all that bad now.
