the criteria is 'great' LPs, and i think that's a pretty high bar to clear. The Delgados The Chameleons Stooges (i guess 3 LPs is cheating)

Harpers is reborn as Brighton Music Hall. Don't forget The Middle East either...right next to TT's, decent mideastern food, good bar, and two rooms of music. my favorite bar is Bukowski, and Redbones also has a good beer selection. Deep Ellum is a solid pick too. haven't been to the Publick House but it's supposed to be good. oh, Lord Hobo is also got a pretty diverse selection and their food is reckoned to be excellent.

get your laugh track ready...

listening to _Special Moves_ right now...excellent recording, and a bit different from the studio versions. gonna head up to a friend's house tonight and watch the _Burning_ DVD. new record is awesome, out in ~3 weeks' time. mogwai is at the top of their game right now.

Browner...buck up, little camper. even at $40/day, it's still a good deal (esp if two separate Wilco performances will be delivered). i'm suspecting that word of mouth from the 1st time has increased its popularity (and rightly so, last year's festival was really a great time).

hey Beebs, welcome!

yes.

i thought this was pretty funny...

nah, no big deal...i can cover it for another media outlet that i shoot for, or maybe we can double-up for Prefix (i've done that in the past for festivals, as there's a lot to cover...I've had good luck getting approved via Deb so I don't think it'll be an issue.)

hey, i was looking @ the photo assignments for prefixmag today and noticed someone already claimed SSF...turns out it was you!

forgetting each night's headliner, i am hard pressed to figure out who of the next three font sizes i'd be interested in seeing over the weekend... 1st night...probably black keys (who i've seen) and cee-lo green 2nd night...the kills (woh i've seen) and erykah badu (perhaps BAD from purely a nostalgia angle) 3rd night...PJ Harvey (who i saw w/ John Parish but not solo), maybe The National (i've seen a couple of times). of all the bands there that i'd want to see and already haven't, it's pretty much just Warpaint, Menomena, Joy Formidable and Tame Impala.

meh...looks awful to me.

maybe moving to TX has adversely affected your ability to differentiate between 'lose' and 'loose' btw, anyone who refers to a local team as 'we/us' needs some help.

shit talking w/ passion is no excuse for being an out-an-out asshole like Rex Ryan is (and can you give me an example of passionless shit talk? i'm having a hard time coming out w/ one). i will fully admit the Jets certainly played a better game than the Pats. if one game defines an ass kicking, so be it. btw, i hope cromartie's playoff bonus can help w/ some of the child support woes he's had...he's certainly trying to become a founding father of our country.

they are a bunch of shit-talking idiots who out-played the Pats, totally following in the style of their boorish coach. i really hate the Steelers too, so i hope for a full IR list for whoever plays the NFC team.

DOA and The Subhumans are the ones that immediately come to mind.

great deal on Slayer: http://www.popmarket.com/details/5730557

i know i've downloaded tons of live shows from dime that i've never listened to.

hopefully. i haven't put in for the show yet, but will probably do that next week. i got tickets as my wife and her sister wanted to go. shooting @ the Wilbur is a PITA, though...

i'll be there

i am being willfully obscure here...i just thought it was funny that there could be two scenarios where 'Jack Frost' could produce a record by 'Jakob'

Jakob is a NZ-based post-rock band a la Mogwai, and Jack Frost was the collaboration between Grant McClennan and Steve Kilbey, so it's half-possible.

that's pretty cool of her, and a great car too.
