i saw awesome local band king sparrow at the double door the other night, and am really mad at myself that i didn’t try to get you to go. they’re so good.

the nytimes article about chinese democracy makes me think you need to review it. ““Forgive them that tear down my soul,” he croaks in “Madagascar,” amid French horns playing a dirge. (The middle of that song inexplicably gives way to a collage of movie dialogue and speeches by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.)”

I just threw on my party shuffle in itunes and also came up with a Belle and Sebastian track: The Blues are Still Blue from The Life Pursuit. Before that was Amsterdam from Bowie’s Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, and to start the party off was Joanna Newsome singing Peach, Plum, Pear.

And speaking of the Three Tenors, I would like to see that list of songs that you would have liked Pavorati to cover.
