Notes this week:
- Feist's billing on that Jason Collett record illustrate how old this record is: she's listed as Leslie Feist and her backing vocals sound nothing like how she would do it now;
- Kate Maki is heading to New York next week to tape a TV show -- hopefully it will end up online somewhere!
- I played "Old Tattoo" cuz I've got a new one;
- "Street Hassle" -- 11 minutes of sheer perfection just for Marc;
- New Constantines record = today is a good day. Especially when it's got lyrics like this: "I need to see the country doctor/Able body's easily confused/We need to lie together/in the dirt and changing weather/Teach the animals a thing or two/I'd just like to get out of the city tonight/Fall back where we first fell/I'd just like to see you in a natural light."
- Tijuana Bibles was one of the funnest shows I've been to mainly cuz I love any band that sells and wears Mexican wrestling masks;
- Check out the cover to that Al Green record, it doesn't get better than that;
- Body of War: a collection of songs with all proceeds going to Iraq Veterans Against the War, assembled by a paralyzed Iraq veteran. Dear Conner Oberst: You so ended up on some government watch list with the song you contributed. Good on ya!
