Why hello, The Man!

[my_daroga]

We have arrived?

It's not that I want to go through Ticketmaster. We don't really have a choice. But hey; wish us luck?

Woohoo! :D

YAY! :)

You're real! And, good grief, I still have to finish listening and give you FB. (I've been inundated with stuff that I've been geeting from the greater NJ library system. And since out of county stuff takes about two months from time of request to get to my doorstep, I have to listen to those first.)

I understand completely. What's amusing is that the band, as it stands, is really not on either of the cd's. I'd say it resembles the Mercy Brown one more at this point, with the lead singer of LD gone. And less country influence.

What have you been listening to?

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Last 10 things, in reverse order, last listened to first:

The Plimsouls - Everything at Once - power pop - I loves me some power pop - 4/5

Neil Young - Chrome Dreams 2 - country rock and rock and roll - lesser Neil but still Neil. And Ordinary People is genius - 4/5

Jill Scott - The Real Thing - neo soul - as a fan of her other work, very disappointing to me - 3/5

Carole King - Tapestry - singer/songwriter - for some reason, I had never replaced my vinyl copy - 5/5

Mink Deville - Cabretta - punk/do-wop/latin - so much fun, like you wouldn't believe - 5/5

The Spinners - Might Love - Philly Soul - gorgeous harmonies and smooth as silk - 5/5

Art Ensemble of Chicago - Nice Guys - avant garde jazz - my understanding of what I was hearing is so limited then I'm not qualified to judge

Nil Lofgrin - Nils Lofgrin - rock and roll - nothing really made me sit up and take notice - 3/5

Belle and Sebastian The Life Pursuit - indie pop - I loved this from beginning to end - 5/5

Ramones Tribute album - We're a Happy Family - punk - not as awesome as it should have been. Although Tom Waits singing The Ramones is almost enough - 3/5

Ooh! Thanks for the list--there's a lot I hadn't heart of before. Punk/do-wop/latin? What?

I was a bit disappointed with The Life Pursuit, though I'm not sure why--I adore Dear Catastrophe Waitress so much that I think I wanted LP to be as amazing for me. I'd put it at number 4, probably, behind Fold Your Hands Child, DCW, and Tigermilk.

Can you tell I'm babbling because I don't know any of the other albums?

Cool, Ms. D! :) (y'all got a CD together yet?)

[my_daroga]

Not in our current incarnation--you have the Mercy Brown one, right? There's a LD one, but it's with the other singer and without me.

We're going into the studio next month. That sounds so pro, doesn't it? What I mean is, "We're paying to record stuff next month."

i have class :(

[my_daroga]

Well we're playing last--so if you're around, we won't be on until about 10:30 or so.

[agentdanak.livejournal.com]

hmmmmmmmmmmm. i will keep this in mind and see how i am doing by that point.

Congrats on the gig; wish I could hear you in person.

[my_daroga]

Maybe one day. :) Thanks!
