I am awash in music. I’ve got new Modest Mouse, Wilco is streaming their new album on-Line, and I just saw G Love and Special Sauce open for Ben Folds last night. Good stuff. I’ll probably put more Wilco news on The Half Closed Eye later today, so keep checking back.
We were going to pace ourselves with Marlowe channelling the Kong but then we said, “What the Heck!”. Sometimes, we catch up on old games using MAME: Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. It is superior. Another favorite site, Classing Gaming reminds us how cool stuff was when stuff was cool. Stuff is still cool I guess, but that old stuff was really cool. Dig?
I’m sure you don’t remember me. (Who the f**k are you?)

..some tapes on the floor. Some drugs we can’t afford on the way….” At least, so wrote Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy. So while it might not be surprising that he’s in rehab, it’s probably more surprising that it was prescription pain-killers for his chronic migraines that led him there.
Along that vein Wilco has released A Ghost Is Born on their website following the massive leak of the album to file-sharing networks. Instead of railing against the so-called “evils” of file-sharing, Wilco had some fansites open up Paypal donations to Doctors Without Borders as a symbolical payment for the download. I think that’s just damn cool. Also the album is good stuff, if not great. I’m not putting it in YHF territory yet, but it may get there.
The Ben Folds concert last night in Tulsa rawked my sawks off and I don’t even know what Rawk and Sawk mean. I assume they are the Coy and Vance to Rock and Sock’s Bo and Luke. The allusions to Rock’em Sock’em robots can now be thrown in at will. Anyway, the Foldsy one has released 3 EPs prior to his LP release later this year. I recommend the Sunny 16. It is excellent.
And also, I got my Modest Mouse goods. Good News… is undeniably great and I’ll put word on the Forums when I finish listening to the Baron Von Bullshit live album a couple of times. Oh look: Forums have returned. There should be a link on the sidebar to them soon. If you can’t see it you are the first to read this besides me or near to it.
