Oil Can Boyd

From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review article: "The collection is worth millions of dollars -- Mawhinney's personal estimate is at least $50 million -- but he has received only one solid offer." That winning bid is a whole lot less than $50 million.

The Cars? Boston? I should probably include the Modern Lovers, the Pernice Brothers, and Dinosaur Jr.

Just bought this moments ago. Can't wait to listen to it tonight.

Some that come to mind: Mission of Burma Pixies Throwing Muses Buffalo Tom Lemonheads

I'm a little behind the times but I finally saw this. I liked it. I do feel like Jack Nicholson has a hard time not being Jack Nicholson (if that makes sense).

Hmmm, can't find it on-line. Last time I saw them (2004) he asked the audience to snap instead of clap. The other night he covered his left ear when people clapped.

Y'know, I don't remember! Shirley Simms is touring with them and she, Claudia, and Stephin mixed things up. One of the new song that Shirley sings on the album was sung by Stephin. Claudia sang All My Little Words and Water Torture.

Me too. First time I saw them they opened with it and I've never looked back.

Excellent show last night from Stephin Merritt and company. The stuff from Distortion (which I'm not wild about) sounded great, as it was really stripped down. Setlist below (which I took from someone's blog): Setlist (album; when the artist is not The Magnetic Fields, artist is listed first): 1. California Girls (Distortion) 2. I Don't Believe You (I Don't Believe You 7", i) 3. All My Little Words (69 Love Songs Vol. 1) 4. Come Back From San Francisco (69 Love Songs Vol. 1) 5. Old Fools (Distortion) 6. Xavier Says (Distortion) 7. Walking My Gargoyle (The Gothic Archies - The Tragic Treas

Yup. I love that song.

Happy Anniversary 2/13/70. My favorite Dark Star ever ...

As someone posted the last time this topic came up, it is "two blocks west of Stalker Street, one block south of Restraining Order Avenue."

My thoughts exactly.

Me too. As for me right now:

It's also on emusic (if you do emusic).

I have not but I did see the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus 3D concert movie with my daughter, and it was OK. One of the weird things is that Kay Hanley and Stacy Jones from Letters to Cleo are in her band.

I saw the show earlier that week in Camden Maine. It was fantastic.

Me too. I keep checking back to see if someone explains the original post ...

The Herald reports he could be out all year: Roughly a week before pitchers and catchers are due to report to spring training in Fort Myers, the Herald has learned today that Red Sox right-hander Curt Schilling has a significant shoulder injury that could end the veteran

I go there pretty regularly but I've never seen him.

Lawyers say McNamee has physical evidence against Clemens By Duff Wilson , New York Times News Service | February 6, 2008 Brian McNamee's lawyers are promising to deliver a bombshell on Thursday against Roger Clemens. McNamee, Clemens's former trainer, will produce "corroborative physical evidence" for congressional investigators that he injected Clemens with performance-enhancing drugs, the trainer's lawyers said Wednesday. According to a lawyer familiar with the matter, McNamee had syringes used to inject Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone that still had traces of Clemens

Fine. Malkmus said their loft was "not ideal." That OK?

I was just going to post that. It's pretty funny.

Yeah, I should have included the full excerpt. The article says the loft "was still not ideal to Malkmus. "They're totally into the ephemera of music.
