bumping this b/c i want to read your whole review but don't have time to do it now and i don't want to lose track of this thread...

i'm late to the game on this one, but have finally put up my xmas avatar!

for the record: intelligentsia roasts some fantastic fucking coffee.

"We'd just like to take a moment to say Happy Birthday to our pal and neighbor, maudie" HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MISS MAUDIE!!

back for year four: rich aurelia's pic from the Giants cookbook. just noticed that his pic is composited onto some stock shot of a kitchen. i love this pic. oven mitt, wisk, orange bowl.

"I fucking hate the Eagles."

well put! i saw a pic of the finale: all the band dressed like col. sanders, the squallis (sp?) puppeteers... wish i could have been there! (darn those friday shows ) greg, i didn't know the arena was so huge! holy toledo. "don't look at the setlist!" "too late."

thanks, maud!! GIANTS, WHOOP! WHOOP!!

welcome to the other side, stooka.

made a donation to planned parenthood LA this week.

natalie's birthday today.

i wonder how cher's autotune style works on that standard.

andrew, your annual VC fly-by is high-quality, my friend!

"GIMME AN E!"

m. chris, if you need me to write a letter to that effect, i will. also: there is so much facial architecture in that album cover. oof. and: why were they not photographed together?

just picked up "tomorrow morning" on friday. am loving it! i know i've been a bit of an Eel's cheerleader around here, none too critical, but i've loved the last 3 records. for those of your with CDs with cover art: the tree on the cover is a jacoranda (sp). there are many of them in my neighborhood. in the spring they fill with lavender blooms. lovely. i was singing "i'm a hummingbird" all afternoon yesterday.

preservation hall jazz band: preservation the richie havens version of "trouble in mind" has been with me for months. gorgeous!

what's this? saw their set at Bonnaroo last month. i can't verbalize how the show was without sounding like an 8th grader. fucking awesome!

thanks, judy! thanks, canada!

i love this film. although the band dissolved at the end of it, i thought it was hopeful, too. fun fact: for those of you who might know my real name, i'm listed in the {quite long} "special thanks." (i edited a couple of the bonus performances for the DVD)

roger that!

it's great to see this thread! there is a pic on the rolling stone site of the singer during one of their bonnaroo sets. GREAT to hear they sold all their cds! i think of them as a neighborhood band b/c some of them live in glendale and they play l.a. often. i got to see them at sasquatch for their "first festival appearance". so exciting. really something to see the crowd all singing along. go, dawes, go!

thanks, remphish! i will likely take you up on your info offer esp. in re: rail lines/taxis in the area. tangara: :banana
