i might actually be re-posting about 20 shows, fyi. anyway, one band that i really dont think about until i listen to em, and then i want more is teenage fanclub. if you’ve never checked em out definitely check out bandwagonesque – one of the best records of the 90′s, or their “greatest hits” record, four thousand seven hundred sixty six seconds. purchase em here

sup, a-holes? hey i gots an ipod condom to give away from the fine folks at music skins dot com. actually its not a condom but it will protect your shit real proper like cause they’re made with a space age polymer or 3m vinyl. supposedly they can be put on and taken off with no problems. anyway, i got this particular one to give away. so if you got either of the ipod classics and you want to win it, just leave a comment, any comment. contest ends on friday @ 8 pm eastern standard time.
this is one of the coolest and least essential things i have ever seen.

if you happen to be a amy winehouse fan the men of owl and bear have what i would assume to be a good to great quality recording for your downloading pleasure. if that wasnt enough, they also got wilco, lambchop, nirvana and of montreal shows available.
file this one under, just leave em be. sure most of their early stuff sounds like shit but thats half the allure. anyway, the first three mats records are getting remastered. will i buy em? sure. will i be happy about it? no.
here is an fm broadcast of the much under appreciated, at least stateside, teenage fanclub performing at the paradiso in amsterdam on 11.20.95. its an fm broadcast, btw.

mary lou lord live in boston 9.9.05

there is no sweeter voice in all of music than the one owned by mary lou lord. even with all her voice’s sweetness there is a hint of sadness in just about every song she sings. i guess thats why i really connect with her and her choices of songs she covers, because even the greatest moments in ones life are filled with a little bit of melancholy.
she doesnt write too many songs, but the ones she has are pretty solid – see what was supposed to be a breakout record, got no shadow for proof. the songs she covers are grade A and often will include the works of springsteen, elliot smith, teenage fanclub, richard thompson, and her favorite go to guy, the much unappreciated nick solomon aka the bevis frond. i cant stress enough the awesomeness of nick saloman and his work. unfortunately, his records can be hard to come by but they are well worth the hunt.
for those that are not up on the history of miss lord, please check out her wikipedia page and if you are feeling up to it here is some info on mr saloman.
here is mary lou performing at the first act guitar studio in boston on 9.9.05
