It's full of stuff like "though I think we've never really taken credit for it, The Beatles are really the cause of everything good in the world - don't get me wrong, Jesus was good (cheers mate!

Well, the announcement that he had Alzheimer's certainly was framed that way -- the weekend before the mid-term elections in 1994. Of course, they would have waited until either the weekend before the GOP convention or late October for to frame his death the same way. ===== "Life is just a series of dogs." -- George Carlin "I'm going to keep playing music until somebody shoots me." -- Scott McCaughey "It would not now surprise me in the least if, one night on TV, right there during The Memo, [Bill] O'Reilly declared himself to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia." -- Charles Pierce on MSNBC.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Yesterday we went to see Tortoise, Calexico, and Beans. Calexico was great, as usual, and did nice covers of Alone Again Or and Bonnie & Clyde. Tonight we caught the Shins, the Fiery Furnaces, and Rogue Wave at the Rialto. The Fiery Furnaces got a new drummer while they toured the UK recently, and he is really a good match for the band. They sound tighter and more energetic, but they still seem to be having a lot of fun with the arrangements. I haven't seen a band pack a set that tight since the first time I saw the Ramones. They just kept going without spaces--kind of like 2 or 3 long medleys instead of 15+ songs in about 40 minutes. Apparently their new album is due out next month. I'm really looking forward to hearing it. The Shins were pretty good too. If Tucson keeps pulling in the better shows in Arizona, I might need to consider moving down that way. I got the new Young Fresh Fellows tribute CD last Friday and really enjoyed it. Robyn did a nice job with his combination of "Mamie Dunn, Employee of the Month"/"Good Times Rock 'n' Roll". The photo of the YFF on the inside of the booklet was taken by Michele--it must have been from the 2001 Underwater Moonlight tour. That was really sad and unexpected news about Robert Quine. I'd been hoping that the next news related to him would be the Velvet Underground Bootleg Series, vol. 2--More Quine Tapes. Time for bed--I need to be up for work in about 4 hours. Later, Marc I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.
