Oil Can Boyd

I'm bummed that it's over but I thought the finale was really good. It's funny - I am one of those people who liked the ambiguity of the Soprano's last episode but I also liked how they wrapped a lot of things up on the Wire last night.

Nice! I love Fables ...

Did you ever hear the song Lawn Darts by Ed's Redeeming Qualities? It was the third of July and the weather was fine Ed brought the hot dogs, the croquet set was mine But the red ball was missing and three mallets were bent Ed suggested lawn darts so to K-Mart we went We looked by the yard games, we looked by the grills But we couldn't find lawn darts come high water or hills We talked to the sales clerk and she started to cry She said "They're off the shelves now," and she told us both why: A kid was pegged in the head with a lawn dart Her dad didn't see 'er, that's the worst part; A ki

Dave - sorry I couldn't make the show. I was going to give it a try but then the usual family stuff got in the way. Hope it went well.

I won't either. I went with a friend and she introduced me to her friend. We (the second friend and I) were married about two years later.

I was at the show the night before when Etta James and Tower of Power played two songs. It was pretty cool.

I agree. I have a Honda Civic Hybrid, which is great. (But now I take public transportation to work so it mostly sits in the driveway.) My wife has a Honda Odyssey, which she loves. She is a gardener so she throws all her work stuff in the back and there is still room for the rest of us.

I had no idea. I am dating myself here but I saw some great Anastasia Screamed shows back in their day.

I don't know if there are any Luna fans here but Dean Wareham is about to come out with a book. There is along excerpt here: Black Postcards

Scarce? As in Chick Graning's Scarce?

Then what are you asking us for?

I rarely read two books at once but last night I finished: and I liked 'em both.

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
