Who are you again?

Yeah, Evonne...that's the all-you-can-eat bacon place. Unfortunately, I think you'll be somewhat tied up on Monday night....

Happy happy day, m'dear! I'm sure Mart will serenade you with birthday melodies a'plenty... Here's to another great year filled with more meals at Dino, plenty of wonderful vino, fun-filled road trips, shows at Largo and of course, a national championship for the Terps!

A handful, sure. I was mainly referring to the top of the list - Dave Matthews Band, Widespread Panic, John Mayer, 311, Phil Lesh and Friends, Primus - that isn't my cup of tea.

That was a pretty random article. It was unclear who actually said the quotes about the various "celebrities."

I feel sorry for Of Montreal and a couple of others on that list. Yeesh! Where is this happening? (So I can avoid it.)

They have it available for download in 10 parts on that link. It's just Jeff and Jon Langford talking, though. Not the music itself-guess there are rights issues with that. Anyway, my favorite story Jeff told was about meeting John Cale once and how he looked like Richard Simmons. Ha!

Seconded. Their specials this week sound amazing, particularly this one: The Kris Larkin (Blue Cheese Pork Sausage with Pear Cr

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that "Entire Recorded Works" will be defined as the stuff that's on the full-length releases -- AM, Being There, Summerteeth, YHF, AGIB, SBS plus Mermaid 1 and 2. In other words, don't get your hopes up for, say, "The T.B. Is Whipping Me" or stuff off of demos, etc. I would guess that the Mermaid Stuff will probably be limited to the stuff they already do, i.e. California Stars, Hesitating Beauty, Remember the Mountain Bed, Christ For President, Airline to Heaven, One By One, Hoodoo Voodoo and maybe Another Man's Done Gone. I would be mildly surprised (tho

Great seeing you last night, Drew. That room is a bit hoity-toity for my taste (and the ushers can be a bit uptight and the tickets pricey), but it's a gorgeous space and the sound is immaculate. It was a treat to see Joe with guests Brad Mehldau on piano and Don Byron on clarinet (for two songs), not to mention that fabulous rhythm section.

Hope you have a great day!

Ah, I see. Well, I certainly wasn't doing any whoo-hooing (except during I'm The Man ) or making random song requests, so I think I should be safe. A repeat performance this year?

Me? Eesh, I hope I don't show up on the tape anywhere...

I share your love of random shows. Road trip?

they are if you like super fun power pop with boy-girl harmonies and somewhat enigmatic lyrics. oh, and canadians. (seriously, if you get a chance, check 'em out!)

yeah, in my haste i forgot to mention that not-so-insignificant fact. haha. i'd like to get to one of these shows, although i'm sad the madison one won't be at the barrymore. maybe the

I'm guessing not at Fez, where I believe he played the first time he did the solo thing. RIP, Fez.

The ol' YouTube isn't fully functioning for me right now, T, but I think I get the picture. Hilarious! I also love how most of the comments are about the relative hotness of both the singer and outfielder. Double hilarious!

Kristina...happy happy birthday to you! Who knows when you'll actually read this, but I hope you're having a wonderful day, m'dear!

Doesn't he play for the Dodgers?

T, I actually invoked your name in a brief chat with Basia after her Joe's Pub show in NYC a couple of weeks ago. Hope that was OK. She remembered your posting to her MySpace page!

"I loves me some [whatever]."

Haha, very funny.
