afternoon, to some, morning to the rest. hey record store day 09 is on saturday and 4 new orleans shops are participating. what they have going on, i havent a clue but, stop in, buy something and feel mildly good about yourself. btw, sadly i have only hit up the mushroom on broadway, but if you havent been its definitely worth the trip. as i was walking out recently, a young college kid, probably a freshie, was buying a pipe and the chap behind the counter had to ensure that said kid was buying the pipe for “tobacco purposes” only. i laughed…. heres the list..
the mushroom @ 1037 broadway
jim russell records @ 1837 magazine st.
skully’z records @ 907 bourbon st.
odyssey records @ 1012 canal st.
speaking of the french quarter fest, anyone going? thinking bout hitting it up tomorrow. sounds like a gay ol time. anybody who’s been got any advice on anything i should see, anyone i should hear, etc? gracias….
here is a most excellent soundboard recording, courtesy of baytaper, at the greek theatre on 8.12.06.

note to self: next time you purchase a dresser from ikea plan on investing close to 4 hours putting it together and need a nap afterwards.
anyone know what happened to rbally yet again?
here be spoon on 1.23.08 @ the enmore theatre, in newtown, sydney, australia. it’s a fm broadcast, fyi. btw, they have a new remix ep of “dont you evah” which features remixes by ted leo, matthew dear and a few other choice artists. btw part II, it looks as if merge has a new download store, which looks awesome/not good for my budget. anyway, check out the spoon store here. btw, part III the rosebuds are offering up a free remixed version of their night of the furies via the merge store. dont think i ever listened to the rosebuds, but i guess now is my chance.

top of the mid morning to y’all. for those that didnt know, alicia keys is crazy as hell. when i say crazy, i dont mean “girl, you so crazy,” i mean “damn, that bitch is crazy.”
just got done watching no country for old men. me thinks it’s a wonderful film, but the ending left me indifferent to the whole experience. it almost negated the previous 2 hours of emotional investment i put into it. anyone else feel the same?
some great shows going on over the next few days in atlanta, and sadly i will not be attending any of em. firstly, explosions in the sky are playing @ the variety on sunday. they are still my number one group that i want to see, but never have, live. i hear that they are pretty fuckin righteous, and from the recorded shows i have heard i can confirm this claim.
yasmin the light off those who tell the truth shall die,…
your hand in mine off the earth is not a cold dead place
welcome, ghosts off all of a sudden i miss everyone
then, on monday, of all forsaken days, there are three shows goin on. firstly, iron and wine and califone are at the variety. secondly, spoon and the walkmen are at center stage. thirdly, mick jones’ new gig, carbon/silicon and matt pond pa are at the loft. they are also doing an instore @ criminal at 6 pm.
what the fuck off carbon/silicon’s the last post
i’m really diggin this track by stockholmite, anna ternheim. its from her stateside debut, halfway to fivepoints. she reminds me quite a bit of when beth orton was one of my main ladies – see her first two records. check her out.

gummo, frankly, scared me. well, not scared so much as left me feeling like i was forced to recieve a filthy sanchez with no way to shower. to be fair, i do love kids, which he wrote. still, when i hear his name scenes of gummo replay in my head, which is no way to live. anyway, for his latest flick, mr lonely, he instructed his two favorite artists j spaceman and the sun city girls to send him some music based of some pics and stills that were sent their way. the result sounds quite lovely, if only judging it solely on this track. its an all instrumental record/soundtrack and if you care to know more about the premise of the movie, clicky.

freedy johnston is a helluva an artist, there’s no denying that. unfortunately, i dont think he’s a very consistent artist, either. his first three records were phenomenal, particularly can you fly which was financed by selling off the farm he had inherited from his grandfather. what makes it so great is that there is a grea sense of urgency in the songs and that he was thinkin that if something doesnt happen now, it may never. robert christgau, if you know who that is, went as far to declare it the “perfect album,” and i would almost have to second that emotion. sadly, everything since the most excellent this perfect world has been strong, lyrically, but borderline easy listening, musically. josh rouse reminds me of freedy quite a bit, not musically, but in terms of strength of his material. josh’s first few records were great, then he moved to spain and it all went to hell. i had such high hopes for him, too. oh, well.
here is mr johnston is playing @ st bede’s club in chorley, england on 3.10.02. its a real nice audience recording.
