The new Pernice Brothers' song "Somerville" (named after the Boston suburb where my mom grew up and her side of the family still resides). Really looking forward to hearing the new album, which is supposed to be out in September.

This reminds me of McCarthy gig I saw in a London pub back in 1989.
They were hailed by music weeklies as the next Smiths, which of course they would never turn to be.
Some of the songs were quite good, with the jangly guitars and good pop hooks, but Iâ€™d just arrived from a country ruled by communists and most of McCarthyâ€™s overtly political, weâ€™re-on-a-crusade lyrics made me laugh.

Some Sufjan.

Dear Mr. Supercomputerman has a dreamy seductive Steely Dan-like quality. Very skillfully orchestrated and recorded.

Shack, again. IMO this is a masterpiece, or at least as close as I've heard in 2006. Musically adventurous, great energy, chock full of memorable melodies, beautiful playing, lovely string and horn arrangements, lyrics that possess enough mystery and ambiguity to keep you coming back for more. I just love it. Why some American label is not jumping all over this I have no idea - maybe too English? I don't think so.

Bugs Bunny taught me everything I know about classical music.

Don't get that. Are we meant to?

Listening to A Woman of a Certain Age from new Divine Comedy LP, as praise by BadAmbass. On new The Word mag. Lovely song.

In America when we think of classical music we think of Bugs Bunny.

When we think Gullivers Travels we think The Banana Splits.

When we think Don Quixote we think Mr. Magoo.

Actually, I think, well, I know, I got my composers mixed up - I was thinking of the great Bugs and Elmer Carmen dance/hunt cartoon.

Um, never mind.

M.Ward - "To Go Home" - excellent new song from his up-coming album Post-War.
Unexpectedly a very energetic number with almost a wall of acoustic guitars and spacious drums + a little vocal help from Neko Case.
Can't wait to hear the new album.

Bjork - Debut.

The last lines I heard before I got out of the car were from Big Time Sensuality and are "I don't know my future after this weekend/And I don't want to".

Patrick Wolf

Gorgeous voice and he's obscenely pretty which is, y'know, a bonus. Great hangover record.

Joni Mitchell's Miles of Aisles

At the particular time 'Cirlce Game' is playing and since my father is ill a video is playing in my mind
