Not that, per se... renic, I'm not arriving until the 3rd, for Lollapalooza. I couldn't swing both that AND the Pitchfork fest.

Veterans Day in Chicago with the Decemberists...are you in, Dude?

The talented Mr. Jack White.

I know what I'm going to do in Chicago.

I'm familiar with the song, I just never connected it with Sesame Street.

ONE. What's the "Sesame Street ripoff"?

Ohhhh..."I'm a notion"!! You learn something new every day.

Sounds great...only 2 more days til Knoxville!!

That's hideous. I finally downloaded it though...maybe the music will make me forget I ever saw the cover.

Considering Walken (a.k.a Best Song Ever) isn't on the list, I voted for What Light. My vote was pretty uninformed, though, since I've only heard Impossible Germany and Either Way once, and I've never heard Let's Fight.

Words are inadequate...you and your family are in my thoughts.

Fascinating stuff.

I caught the end of an interview with Kevin Smith on NPR this morning. I liked what he had to say, it definitely piqued my interest in seeing Clerks II.

Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005, in case nobody has posted it yet.

Why do you internalize everything? I haven't seen anybody on here saying that YOUR kids "don't deserve to be here."

Stephen Fry. I LOVED him in Blackadder Goes Forth. (and the other Blackadders, for that matter )

I'll be there. Only 2 weeks to go!!!

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I don't really download that many albums, and when I do, it's either a band I know I like or a one that has been compared favorably to a band I like. Usually there's at least something on there that I feel is worth having. And I didn't mean to make it sound like I have a crazy disposable income...it definitely takes me awhile to get around to buying stuff.

Yeah, that conflict really sucks...MMJ are so great live. However, Paul McCartney is probably the only artist on earth who could tear me away from whichever stage Jack White's on.

Actually, I do. (Unless it TOTALLY sucks, which is very rare). In fact, just last weekend I threw away 2 burnt cd's that I finally bought real copies of (The Raconteurs and Band of Horses).

Okay, maybe not the best EVER, but two of my favorites: The White Stripes @ 2004 Grammys Death Letter on national tv!! Shame about the blinding lights. and Let's Build a Home/Goin' Back to Memphis/John the Revelator on Conan, 2003

I buy cds, and then albums I really love I'll buy on vinyl too. As for iTunes, I've only bought 2 full albums from there, and I'll probably never do it again. Yeah, the price is right and you get the music immediately, but I hated not having tangible liner notes and the "cd art". So I don't see downloading ever replacing record stores for me.
