      1. Wow a HHT/LL double bill? If that show ever hits the Twin Towns, the merch table will do record business from AMR alone.

  2. 1. Dan Dare -- The Wedding Present
    2. Firehouse (live) -- Kiss
    3. Moscow Nights -- The Feelies
    4. We Can Work It Out -- Heather Nova
    5. It Ain't Free -- The Soundtrack of our Lives
    6. Month of May -- Arcade Fire
    7. Cumberland County (live) -- Fred Eaglesmith

    Bonus: Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts -- Bob Dylan

    Concert notes: Jesus and Mary Chain Tuesday at First Ave, Built to Spill Wednesday at First Ave. Dinosaur Jr. Oct 18 at the Cabooze. I am definitely going to Built to Spill and Dinosaur Jr. Also AMR, it's been about 6 weeks, isn't Lydia Loveless due back in town?

    1. I really, really want to go to that Dinosaur Jr show. It is my wife's 40th birthday. If anyone can figure out a way for me to be in two places at once, let me know.

        1. I tried to see if I could get her to like DJ. I played them for her on a road trip. She couldn't make it through a full album.

          1. How about these Djr. lyrics in her b-day card:

            Sometimes I don't thrill you
            Sometimes I think I'll kill you
            Just don't let me fuck up will you
            'cause when I need a friend it's still you

            1. Just send a subliminal message like J sent to Lou when he made Lou scream "WHY DON'T YOU LIKE ME???" repeatedly.

    2. Lydia's hitting Fargo and Lincoln NE and Ames in mid-October.
      My sister-in-law's boyfriend's band, Chatham Rise, gets to open for the JAMC. That's a big freaking deal, if you ask me.

      1. I'm pretty excited for that Lydia Loveless show.

        This is the craziest week for shows for me since, uh, I was in college the first time I suppose! The Melvins in Fargo on Tuesday night, then I'll be down for GZA/Killer Mike at First Ave on Thursday and Swans/Xiu Xiu at Fine Line Friday. If anyone is going to either show, or wants to grab a beer or a burger or something Friday evening before the Swans show, let me know.

    3. 2. Firehouse (live) -- Kiss

      O.k. No one is in the office so this song from my list made me crank some Kiss Alive! at my desk. Of course who strolls by but the boss. I gave her a shrug and said, "At least I'm still at my desk."

  3. This time it is from my iPod which I remembered to bring to work today.
    1. Indigo Girls - She's Saving Me
    2. Frankie Valli - Grease
    3. Maroon 5 - Shiver
    4. Red Hot Chili Peppers - C'mon Girl
    5. Emoja - Erotik City
    6. Soul Position - Jerry Springer Show
    7. Willie Nelson feat. Lukas Nelson - Just Breathe
    8. Three Dog Night - Joy to the World
    9. Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer
    10. Sugarland - Very Last Country Song

    Really doesn't look much different than my Pandora station.

  4. Does anyone with an iPod have issues with the stupid thing randomly losing its place in a shuffled playlist? I got through about 650 songs last time before it reset, which is my max. Sick of this.

    01. Overkill - "New Machine", Horrorscope
    02. Force of Evil - "Hobbs End", Black Empire
    03. Decapitated - "Dance Macabre", Winds of Creation
    04. Nevermore - "Never Purify", Enemies of Reality
    05. Metallica - "One", ...And Justice for All
    06. Amon Amarth - "Bloodshed", Versus the World
    07. Pantera - "I'm Broken", Far Beyond Driven
    08. Epica - "Sensorium", The Phantom Agony
    09. Nevermore - "42147", The Politics of Ecstasy
    10. Light This City - "Guiding the North Star", Remains of the Gods

      1. Let's all hope a Pantera song doesn't hold any clues for anything, ever.

        It's been doing this since I first got it this summer. I think its just crappy software, which coincides with my general impression of iTunes.

  5. This might be my funkiest playlist of all time.
    .
    1. Belle & Sebastian - "Funny Little Frog" - The Life Pursuit
    2. Cloud Cult - "The Acceptance: Responsible" - Light Chasers
    3. Brother Ali - "Victory! (Come Forward)" - Shadows on the Sun
    4. Duke Ellington - "Tourist Point of View" - Ken Burns's Jazz
    5. Sly & the Family Stone - "Everybody Is a Star" - The Very Best of Sly & the Family Stone
    6. Al Green - "Love and Happiness" - I'm Still in Love with You
    7. The New Pornographers - "Use It" - Twin Cinema
    8. The Postal Service - "Brand New Colony" - Give Up
    9. Billy Bragg & Wilco - "I Guess I Planted" - Mermaid Avenue
    10. James Brown - "Cold Sweat, Pts. 1-2" - 20th Century Masters
    B. Michael Franti & Spearhead - "The Future" - All Rebel Rockers

  6. I purchased my roommate's ipod from him the other day so that I could bring all of my music to work. It's an exciting development.

    The Black Keys - "Black Mud" - Brothers
    The Stooges - "1969" - The Stooges
    The Hives - "Love In Plaster" - Tyrannosaurus Hives
    Thao with the Get Down Stay Down - "Yes, So On and So On" - We Brave Bee Stings and All
    Less Than Jake - "Five State Drive" - Hello Rockview
    The Phenomenauts - "Neptune City" - Re-Entry
    Thunder in the Valley - "The Skies May Cease to Be" - Where Oh Where Oh Where
    Otis Redding - "Cigarettes and Coffee" - The Definitive Collection
    Clipse - "Ride Around Shining" - Hell Hath No Fury
    The Clash - "Rudie Can't Fail" - London Calling

    1. as someone who used to lug around a 100CD case with me everywhere, the ipod was a welcome bit of innovation.

  7. 1. Wye Oak “Remember, Above” Daytrotter Session 10/8/2008
    2. Sonic Youth “Mildred Pierce” Goo
    3. The Cinematic Orchestra “Familiar Ground” Live at the Royal Albert Hall

    5. Marit Bergman “I Take My Wings off You” 3.00 A.M. Serenades

    6. Carl Craig “Landcruising (Version)” The Album Formerly Known As...*
    7. The Jimi Hendrix Experience “One Rainy Wish”* Axis: Bold as Love
    8. Colin Stetson “Tiger Tiger Crane” New History Warfare, Volume 1
    9. Portishead “A Tribute to Monk & Canatella” Sour Times (Nobody Loves Me)
    T. Carl Craig “Home Entertambient (Caya Dub)” The Album Formerly Known As...
    E. Fila Brazillia “The Green Green Grass of Homegrown” Jump Leads

    *Notes
    6. Carl Craig recorded a soundtrack for some movie called Landcruising, which was released on WEA label Blanco Y Negro in 1995. (Only in the UK, too. I've got my copy which I bought for like $30.) It's long out of print and I don't think Craig could even figure out who to talk to about obtaining the rights, so he remixed and re-edited all of the songs and re-released it on his own label under the title listed above.

    7. This was one of my favorite JHE songs when I was first getting into the band as a teenager. Feels wrong to have it on shuffle, so it's not followed by “If 6 Were 9”.

    1. seriously beautiful French girls in attendance

      montreal picked up a lot of that. the beauty of them out here is so... complex? i mean that in the best possible way too. sitting on a train or at a restaurant, at first glance you're like, yeah, she's cute. second glance, oh, wait, she's really cute. then, she is beautiful, then ohmygod have my babies...

        1. my waitress (and the hostess too) last night was one of about 15 examples of this from yesterday alone. also, any woman speaking french adds that much more beauty.

    * The Offspring have a new album out. Am I enough of a completist that I will buy it?
    Probably. Even though I'm not sure I've ever seen a band appear so disinterested as in this video:

    httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5Zy2GkWVFs

    ** The other day, powered by idle curiosity, I went through and determined how many versions of each song on Nevermind I have on my iPod.

    Polly (obviously) was the most with 9.
    The fewest was 3 (In Bloom, Lounge Act, Stay Away, Something in the Way)

    That's a lot of Nirvana, no wonder they show up every week in my random 10.

    *** This album title contains the only semicolon in my library

    **** These guys just don't click with me. Their drummer played at the Dan Auerbach show I went to, and was fantastic, he really helped set a fantastic paranoid mood for the whole evening. Plus I really liked this song.

    httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g1QXrXSiJI

    but I almost never make it through 2 songs when I try to listen to their albums. Too polished and clean, I think. Maybe that's not it, but I know it doesn't do it for me.
