Wow, it's been a long time since I sniffed around here. I'm here checking loligo's journal to make sure she's surviving her Portland trip, so I thought I'd drop a quick note in here ( Read more... )

As anyone who will ever see this probably knows, Radiohead is allowing people to download their new album for free. Well, that's not really what they're doing -- they're allowing you to set your own price. So I did.

I can't stop thinking about EGGS!

What would the world be like if no one believed in life after death?

Yes, as unoriginal as it is, we are finally doing a vaguely Irish-themed St. Patrick's Day show on 80's HADES this coming Friday, March 16. Thus, I am desperate for music by Irish pop/rock/punk bands of the late 70's and 80's (roughly 1976-1989). I have songs/albums by the following artists ( Read more... )

I assume one of you bought me this for Christmas. I do so love the Velvet Underground.

75 cents to $155,401. And to think how excited I was when I found the RPM reissue of the Au Pairs' first album for $6.99 at my local CD store...

And yet, somehow, I can't quite manage to click the supplied link to change my life. Guess I'm just not man enough ( Read more... )

The Continent-Sized Behemoth of Arctic Air is slowly descending through the Midwest. One hundred miles due west of here, it's a fucking winter wonderland. In St. Louis (2 hours' drive NW of here), they're expecting a foot of snow today and tonight. And southern Illinois?

36 degrees F (2 degrees C, for those keeping track) and raining. My least ( Read more... )
