Oil Can Boyd

And my favorite, I Often Dream of Trains.

Now that I would love to hear ...

"The Kids" - Lou Reed "Kamera" (Engineer's Demo version) - Wilco "Red" - Mission of Burma "Killing Moon" - Pavement "Cold Irons Bound" Bob Dylan

Here is a decent article about their short history: Squirrel Bait

Squirrel Bait was a band (of high school kids) out of Louisville that put out two great albums. The sound is not unlike Husker Du - loud but with melody. Three of the guys went on to form Slint and one who didn't (David Grubbs) went on to form Gastr del Sol.

A good list. I would add: Replacements - Let it Be, Tim, Pleased to Meet Me Meat Puppets - II Husker Du - Flip Your Wig or New Day Rising Throwing Muses first one Squirrel Bait - Skag Heaven Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me

As Mojo Nixon said (per Analogman's post) "don't let him get back together with Glenn Frey."

Still loving this.

Bettie Serveert - Palomine Saw them play last night. A really good show and they have lots of new stuff but I wanted to hear this one this morning.

One of my favorite books ever is Ken Kesey's Sometimes a Great Notion. It is a little weird but I have no interest in reading it again. It really reminds me of a certain place and time in my life and I think part of me worries that it is not as good as I remember it being.

The Office (from last night). I know, I know, the BBC version is better - but I really like the US version too. "I hope it's urine ..."

I am really looking forward to this.

I guess that is to be expected. I like them but I don't think they are a band that will vary their sound a lot.

Ha! Not at all. (But I was also not aware of that Bragg quote. What is it from?)

How is it?

Yeah, I'm one of those people. I know I don't need it and I'll tell myself that I won't buy it. But I'll walk in the store and see it and look at all of the extras and I'll buy it.

Beat me to it ...

Nice!

Bill Janovitz/Crown Victoria - Fireworks on TV

I've taken your advice before and not been dissapointed, so I will check 'em out.

I really like this. I have not been into Sonic Youth in a while, but this one totally does it for me.

Clemens won the MVP in 1986.

I like it a lot, particularly after Summer Sun, which was a letdown for me.

I know; it is pretty frustrating. It has also been a while since Sox/Yankees games in September mattered so little. Coverage of the sweep on Sunday was on page 2 of the Boston Globe sports section on Monday (with the Patriots and NASCAR on page 1).
