Oil Can Boyd

I do - but I am a big Merritt fan. It doesn't have the range of styles of something like 69 Love Songs - and he sings all 50 songs - so it can start to blend together if you are listening to it straight through. But it is also autobiographical and more personal than anything else he has done so it is interesting to get that insight into his life.

Ha - yes! Including singing "a ship without a rudder is like a ship without a rudder" in the middle of their first song ...

Tim - do you know who the woman was singing back-up with Dando? It was incredibly awkward for that half-song because she kept asking him if she should stay on stage and he wouldn't answer then he played that Jayhawks song.

At the Paradise (in Boston).

Benefit for the ACLU with Bill Janovitz, Gravel Pit, Evan Dando, Belly, Juliana Hatfield, and Nada Surf

Wow - that should be awesome. Please report back ...

And apparently Al Kooper is going to sit in for a few songs ... !

Yes! Are you shooting or just enjoying? And it's Hitchcock's birthday too so maybe we can get the crowd to sing happy birthday.

I really like the two versions of In Between. The electric rave-up version is them at their VU best.

New Feelies!

It does beg the question: what are other four?

I'm a big fan of that record.

Yup. I remember getting the cassette when I was in high school and thinking there must be lots of filler (or blank space) at the end of the tape and then it ran out (before We Bid You Goodnight came one).

Happy birthday to 2/13/70. Still remains my favorite Dark Star.

Ha! You didn't like it? The person who recommended it to me told me it was bleak but also said season 2 was the best season. I liked Linden and Holder as characters. And after season 1 I had to keep watching to learn what happened!

My wife and I just went through four seasons of The Killing - and enjoyed it. Sure looks rainy in Seattle ...

I felt the same way - except the 2004 ALCS/WS was stress and lack of sleep spread over a ten day period ...
