I saw that the 400 Bar is re-opening in the Mall of America.
How many touring bands will be disappointed to discover that they're booked at a club in a mall?
How many touring bands will show up at Cedar-Riverside looking for the 400?
How bad will the service be in the new location?

1. I could probably listen to this song on an endless loop and never get tired of it. I have no idea why I find it so soothing.
8. Probably their most brilliant song.
I have the same reaction about #1. "Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key" too.

I'm in a bit of a funk. I need to clean up my iPod. Too much stuff that I tried but that isn't doing anything for me. Like Tim Hecker and the Cloak Ox and Haxan Cloak.

*Notes:
1. Cover of a song by Teddybears (ft. Mad Cobra), but with Teddybears producing the cover of their own song. So is it a cover? Or just an alt version with a different vocalist? This would be a good song for Kode9/Spaceape to cover.
T. I should cut this. If Yello doesn't have Dieter's creepy and goofy vox, what's the point?
E. Any Oldham fans out there that don't have this album: this is probably my favorite, and also the last one he made that was consistently good.
What do you have against cloaks?
Today was the first time I actually straightened out which was which.
My next band will be the Ox Haxan
Teddybears?
Pretty Much.
