The first Big Audio Dynamite album is better than most Clash albums.

Speaking of bullpen management: "Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner told the New York Times in a phone interview that he wants setup man Joba Chamberlain moved into the starting rotation, saying, "I want him as a starter and so does everyone else, including him . . . you don't have a guy with a 100-mile-per-hour fastball and keep him as a setup guy. You just don't do that. You have to be an idiot to do that." . . . "

Thanks - I'll poke around. I'm one of those people who still likes to have the actual CD. And, if all else fails, it looks like it is available on itunes.

Gaaah. Been meaning to pick up the first one probably since Analogman posted that it was out ...

Yeah, he infuriated me last year when he was on the Sox but now I just feel sorry for the guy.

Reported at Jambase and other places. David Byrne & Brian Eno Back At Work On "Electronic Gospel" The Daily Swarm and Drowned In Sound are reporting some seriously exciting news. According to these reliable sources, David Byrne and Brian Eno are reuniting for a new album and apparently a tour.

I read it, as I am a big Galaxie 500/Luna fan. It's entertaining enough; he has some good stories to tell. He does come off as a fairly unpleasant guy. He makes a lot of snide comments about his own bandmates and other bands. And he certainly gets the point across that being in a band that has moderate success is not as glamorous as it might seem. I did learn that his relationship with Britta Phillips started while he was still married. Liz Phair reviewed it in the New York Times: Black Postcards

I helped a friend move this weekend and I saw that he had two copies of Pavement's Perfect Sound Forever 10-inch. He gave me one.

Dice-K threw 116 pitches in 5 innings, and only 62 were strikes. But he got the win ...

And now that it is good, they will ruin it with a spin-off: "NBC presented its fall schedule to advertisers Wednesday, and these are the main bits of news from that upfront presentation:

He does. Unfortunately for the Brewers, Gagne does not. I saw on ESPN that Gagne has only 10 blown saves in his career coming into this season. It seemed to me like he blew 10 saves last year alone.

I had the opposite experience in high school. There was a history teacher who was really into martial arts. He used to say things to our class like "if all of you attacked me right now you would eventually win, but the first dozen of you would be really badly hurt."

Hell yeah!

Wow!!

I've got the Robert Rauschenberg edition.

And Lester wasn't so bad today ...
