Anyway, Paul, you gonna catch them down there?  I don't know know where in Texas they'll be, but I know they are there a couple nights.

Shit man, they ain't playing in Houston.

OK, so the Mountain Goats show was sold out, but that doesn't matter because I just found out John Cale is playing here in November, and god damned if I'm not going to be front row & centre, screaming like, um, a big girly geek.

I feel I should update you all that I've been relistening to Electric Version and it's consistently better than I remembered. But Mass Romantic is still significantly lovabler. I will take this to the ring.

I am not really prepared to argue about which NPs album is the awesomest. I tend to go in fits and starts, myself -- one day Electric Version has all my attention, then it's Twin Cinema, then I rediscover Cake or whatever. That said, I think I've pinned down the difference between them, at least to me. I think that TC has incredible songs -- some truly majestic stuff, really -- but that it just doesn't hang together as an album like EV does. It feels like a collection of songs they had lying around and not a full-scale work, but EV has a good coherent feel to it.

3 albums I'm really listening to right now are

My Morning Jacket - Z.  Weird album for an americana band.  Sad dance music.

The Residents - Roadworms.  The album itself is a few years old, but I just got around to it.  I think if you like Tom Waits you could probably appreciate this.  Their last album, Animal Lover, used animal mating sounds and noises as percussion.  Whales, humans, crickets, frogs, et al.

Gogol Bordello - Gypsy Punks.  Great album with Steve Albini all over it.  Punk from the Ukraine.  Near dub sometimes.  If any of you saw Everything Is Illuminated, Eugene Hutz is the lead singer of this band.

EDIT: The Last Waltz has been all over IFC lately, so I've been listening to that, too, I guess.

Right now I'm working on a review of the John Cale show I saw last weekend, and listening to his new album, which I got in the mail for free.  I find this to be rad.

Sounds cool, but I'm just trying to figure out the Albini/dub connection.

I'm going to a Yo La Tengo Hanukkah show, in Hoboken, on the 29th of December. It will be the third time I will see Yo La Tengo live, and I just might shit myself.

Well, he engineered it, and they are really heavily ska and dub sometimes, I guess is what I was trying to say.

Oooohhhhh, OK.  I read it as something like it has an Albini like feel, and immediately I think of At Action Park by Shellac or Jesus Lizard's Liar.  And then you mention dub?  Say WHAT!?

I'm waiting for Clap Your Hands Say Yeah to arrive as I've heard lots of good things.


I listened to this at the record store today and it made me giggle on the first song.  That means it passes The Test, which means I'll buy it when I have money.  

I bought the 7 song Calexico/Iron and Wine album because they're PLAYING HERE IN TWO WEEKS.  yeah, excited.

Bozack has heard this, but this last wednesday my brother and I went to their last show of their tour, seeing as it was fittting that they end it in the hometown.  My little brother goes to school with Jim James' little brother.  Also, he lives next door to me.  I'm not so huge of a fan anymore, but I like to tell people these things.  So VHS or Beta opened and then MMJ starts when my bro gets a call from the other bro to see if he wants to go back stage.  I am not invited (these dudes are 14) and I'm left to stew amongst the drunkies.  I get re-seated twice and realize little bro has every intention of keeping me ditched so i go home after 4 songs, but he spends the rest of the night hanging out with the guys during and after the show.  I was really angry, but then realized he'd have had a not-so-awesome time had he been nice enough to come back with me.
