Trying to find the next Dave Nilsson?

Carry Me Ohio ... Just got my tickets for Mark Kozelek's solo show in Boston.

DJ - RIP

That makes two of us ...

I read somewhere it is 90 minutes.

D'oh indeed. You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to try to sneak one by Analogman.

There is a banjo-heavy version on the Jesus Son soundtrack.

Except in the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones ...

Speaking of Morgan Spurlock, I finally saw this.

"And in couples news. Rock 'n' roll muse Winona Ryder (Lost Souls) and Rilo Kiley guitarist Blake Sennett (Salute Your Shorts) are engaged to be married, according to Getty blog (thanks Kelly for the tip). This is exciting news because everyone likes Winona Ryder, and Blake Sennet makes us think about Jenny Lewis. Also? Winona Ryder dated, like, half our CD collection. An exclusive photo of the short-lived supergroup comprised of Winona's rock 'n' roll ex-boyfriends after the jump. Congrats, kids." Stereogum

Hank Steinbrenner: Steinbrenner, apparently trying to emphasize that he has no fear of the Yankees' American League competition, has amped up the rivalry between the two teams, intentionally or not. "Red Sox Nation?" What a bunch of [expletive] that is," he said in an interview with The New York Times' Play magazine. "That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans. "Go anywhere in America and you won't see Red Sox hats and jackets, you'll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We're going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the unive

And they beat Northeatern 15-0 in the nightcap.

I was listening to that the other day too. It's got two of my favorite CVB songs: Sweethearts and Borderline.

LeBron is 7 of 24

It is on the Throwing Muses website Throwingmusic in the "Shop." She is certainly trying to do things differently. She and others (including Donita Sparks from L7) have this CASH music program, which is a pay-as-you-like format. They are also making music available with the Pro Tools stems of the song and encouraging people to re-mix it. But she also has different membership/subscription options. "For $10 per quarter, fans can get all the media, merchandise and CDs they like. For $30, they get a "Works in Progress" CD plus free entrance for two into any upcoming show. $500 buys all that

It's an interesting business model (described in more detail below). For $50 you get a new recording of ten songs of your choice. I think she has enough hardcore fans to make it work for a while.

I am pretty partial to I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (particularly the version from the movie).

My first car was a 1963 Corvair (which I bought in 1991). I gained a little respect for Mr. Nader the day I totalled my car.

Dino Jr was, and still is, from Western Mass.

Do you prefer XLIs or XLIIs?

I forgot Galaxie 500 and (sort of) the Magnetic Fields (who started in Boston, moved to NY, but now Stephin Merritt lives in LA).

Funny you mention that. I have that on cassette and I just ordered a used copy which arrived in the mail yesterday. There is some great stuff on that.

The Feelies!!!

Yeah, I was thinking Boston rather than Massachusetts, and I don't really think of Dino Jr as a Boston band.
