"We'd just like to take a moment to say Happy Birthday to our pal and neighbor, maudie"

 

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MISS MAUDIE!!

Ok, got mine updated I think.

 

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."

Uhhh...wow.

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.

 

I stood just above Donald Fagen's keyboards and looked down at the master. Black Friday blew my mind!

"don't look at the setlist!"

"too late."

The scene in my neighborhood tonight:

thanks, maud!!

 

GIANTS, WHOOP! WHOOP!!

welcome to the other side, stooka.

I'm imaginarily bumping this one again, for Nat's birthday. Please think about continuing to make donations in her name, or doing whatever you can do to honor her memory today (grabbing a rock star's ass would also qualify).

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!

Just picked it up at Electric Fetus yesterday. I wowed and amazed the family and friends with the neat special effect on the CD.

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!

If you're a BSS/Bruce McDonald/Don McKellar fan, it's worth your time.

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.
