I'm guest DJ in the video booth next week. I need to edit. I've got nine good days of Ha Ha Tonka, but a week is only seven days!
Drop your list.

Bought my first mp3 player, got it in the mail yesterday. It's a Creative Zen, Vision M, 30 GB. So far I am impressed with its functions, and I only plan to use it primarily for audio, and it seems good. The touchpad is extremely sensitive, even on the tightest setting, but I'll probably get the hang of it eventually.

Notes:
1. This was a promo cassette that I once found at Cheapo (Tapes & LPs on Snelling), one side was a an acoustic radio session/interview on WBAI, and the other was a DJ gig. Sadly, I have lost the tape, and was quite ticked about that. Last week, after my Meat Puppets dissertation in this space, I wanted more Meat Puppets on my iPod. Due to the wonders of the internet, I found the lives session in MP3 version. The Meat Puppets keep a lot of bootlegs publicly available on their website; (which is run by drummer emeritus Derrick Bostrom), but I found this in another place.
1b. Oh wow, the Internet Archive has a soundboard recording of the 2007 reunion show of theirs that I saw at the Varsity: First time I saw Ha Ha Tonka. I need this.
4. Yeah, that's my wife. Back before we get pregnant with AJR, she had been playing a few coffeeshops and churches, and club 3 Degrees. Her sound is kindof a folk-pop acoustic guitar Lilithy thing (think Jewel's first album and Patty Griffin), with moderately religious lyrics (I'd compare them more to JeffA's weekly blog from his parish website than to anything I've heard from the pulpit or seen on TV). Feeling good about a few of her songs, and wanting to have something to sell to her few fans (mostly from our church and family), she found a local producer that had worked on a few recordings she liked, and she hired him to record three of the songs. Well, the producer felt too much that he wanted EAR to be a poppy crossover-potential singer and EAR was too uncertain of herself to speak up early enough, and the three tracks came out more like Jewel's fourth or fifth album than her first, which is not what we wanted. The whole thing put a bad taste in her mouth about her music, and she never released the songs, shut off her myspace, and hasn't played since except to a church youthgroup. (As we got pregnant with AJR like two months later, that worked as a good divide. We've got all the stem tracks on a flash drive, for a potential remix (or de-mix?) by someone else. She's told me that in the past few weeks she has picked up the guitar again.
5. We™ is pretty cool stuff if you're into dubstep. It's kindof proto-dubstep, coming out of the New York "Illbient" scene of the late 90's. I'd recommend this album, their third, and also their second, The Square Root of Negative One. Their first, As Is is too ambient for me, and it makes me sleepy.
6. I was a big fan of Photek's first two albums Modus Operandi and Form & Function, plus the singles around that time, like the essential "Ni Ten Ichi Ryu." He made very spacious drum and bass music (to give an analogue, Burial sounded like he's applying a Photek approach to two-step). But then Photek made an erratic album with some bad two-step (which turned into an international club hit), and left Astralwerks and the US market. I recently decided to follow up on what he's been up to, and it's even more scattered. This track has some heavy looped guitars and vocals. It's okay, it sounds like something 3D of Massive Attack did on 100 Windows but with a jungle beat, but it's not something that I would have ever paid attention to, were it not for his work from a dozen years ago.
8. This is probably my favorite Ha Ha Tonka song. Staticky and screechy guitars paired with acoustic strumming. I consider the long instrumental intro to be that the first verse is just sung by Brett's guitar. Then when the lyrics do come in, they're about Sherman's March to the Sea, but they could also be generally about the destructive nihilism of young adulthood. One can draw parallels to our nation's recent military activities, although there is nothing in the lyrics to explicitly do so.
9. My edit here was just taking off the final 40 seconds of noise that works on the album, but not on a mix disc.
