Things which are modern...

and not so...

Man, what a song. Bring on that box set.

I think you will find more singing and dancing here than usual.

This sounds very promising.

Oh yeah, here it is!

Man, I love youtube.

Haven't heard the album yet (buying it tonight!) but what a great song. It's great to see Jim White letting loose once again.

Read the article this morning, and later checked my e-mail to find a message from this guy. Seems like a cool character. Made me hungry for some ice cream, but luckily I remembered I had some free Cherry Garcia in the freezer. Nothing better than free ice cream.

Cherry Garcia. That is the best name for an ice-cream.

Stuck Inside Of Mobile...

Oh man, what a version!

Haven't listened in a while. Nels' Muzzle of Bees solo really blasts.

Ignore the video but does anyone know where this version comes from? Listening to Ryan Adams with Gillian...well, I don't think David Rawlings has much to worry about.

Hmmm...it's now listed for $17.99 at Amazon. Hot demand, perhaps?

I wish they would re-issue brighten the corners, that one is by far the best imo.

Yes, a great Pavement album. Surely they'll get to it. If they've re-issued the first three there's no reason to believe (crossed fingers) they won't get to the rest in their own time.

Great cover!

Beautiful song.

Dylan - "Highlands"

Bowie - Rock 'n' Roll Suicide

I was riding in a buggy with Miss Mary-Jane

Miss Mary-Jane got a house in Baltimore

I been all around the world, boys

Now I'm trying to get to heaven before they close the door.

Dinner with Jeff or Bob?

"It must be a holiday, there's nobody around

She studies me closely as I sit down

She got a pretty face and long white shiny legs

She says, "What'll it be?"

I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?""

Sure, I pray.

Wow...

down here it's the other way around. I wish I could post some pics but there are some things happening in the garden which let us know that spring is close to arriving: tiny lizards scurrying around the steps as we walk up to the front door, buds emerging on our citrus tree. It's like the whole place has been asleep and is just starting to rub its eyes awake...

Fritz in Sydney

if you wanna come on down

down with your bones so white

and watch the freight trains pound

into the wild wild night

how I would love to gnaw

gnaw on your bones so white

and watch as the freight trains paw

paw at the wild wild night

all these ghost towns

wreathed in old loam

Assateague knee-

deep in seafoam

ho, Swansea!

Buttonwillow!

Lagunitas!

ho, Calico!

and all these beastly bungalows

stare distend like endless toads

endlessly hop down the road

borne by wind we southward blow

and yonder, wild and blue

the wild blue yonder looms

'til we are wracked with rheum

by roads, by songs entombed

and all we wanna do

is chew and chew and chew

dear one

drive on

when all we wanna do

is chew and chew and chew

and if you wanna come on down

down with your bones so white

and watch the freight trains pound

into the wild wild night

how I would love to gnaw

to gnaw on your bones so-o white

and watch while the freight trains paw

paw at the wild wild night

paw at the wild wild night

paw at the wild wild night

Going back to old favourites this week. Beginning with:

Dylan and Cash

Wonderful stuff. One of my favourite Dylan eras.

Well I wish was in London

Or some other seaport town

Step my foot in a steamboat

And sail the ocean round

Sailing round the ocean

Sailing round the sea

I'd think of Handsome Molly

Wherever she may be

I saw her at church last Sunday

She passed me on by

I knew her mind was changing

By the roving of her eye

Her hair as black as a Raven's

Her eyes were black as coal

Her teeth shown like lilies

Out in the morning cold

Now do you remember Molly

When you give me your right hand

Said if you ever married

I'd be your man

Now you've broke your promise

Go marry whom you please

My heart is broken

'Til I get some ease
