Ok, well non of the above for me. Infact the only things I have tickets for are tomorrow and Ted Leo. I guess I will be at the buzzcocks and gomez as well though, but they are a while off.

I could post it, if you like? Or go for a beer?

i am starting to think we could get along after all. I am super excited for the Ted Leo show!

lets grab a drink - I may try and go to Ted Leo - we have something that afternoon but if its at the Black Cat I'm time enough getting there at 10 or 11

Ted Leo is a Saturday, so doors are at 9.30……

I dont know, but I wouldnt be totally amazed if it sold out.

But there may be a lot of Christmas parties at that time to distract people.

sounds good - your mailbox is full - South, Beulah and anything else you think is good (maybe some Ted Leo?) would be great - mp3s are fine with me and I can put your stuff on mp3

I just undertook a pruning exercise….. It should be good again now.

How about them, plus:

Felt
The Tyde
The High Strung
Adam Green
Postal Service
Fruitbats
Carter USM
Richard Hell

You can fit around 10 albums worth of Mp3s on a CD, right?

I was there a couple weeks ago for the first time. On a Friday, and I had all day. It was glorious (I'm assuming it's packed on weekends). But it almost made my head spin…I got through the 'new arrivals' used bin, and the 'regular' used bins separated out by artist, but just didn't have the energy to hit the $1 and $2 bins….and dudes, they had BOXES underneath the bins! Mother of god…

I know what you mean - I was literally giddy - and all the beautiful vinyl, new vinyl too - I only had 90 mins so I was flying through the place

yeah, the pains of growing up in the bay area. my favourite store growing up was streetlight records in san jose, and it was just like that. . .rows of used cds, with boxes more underneath the rows. and they gave pretty good prices if you wanted to sell.

if i remember correctly, the only bay area amoeba used to be in berserkley, along with the only rasputin. it was only 5 years or so ago that amoeba moved into san francisco. . and now rasputin is a chain in the bay area too. the berserkley store is also excellent, at least it used to be, but i haven't been in several years.

You scored just with those, my friend!

By any chance, has anybody given a listen to Brand New's latest album, "Deja Entendu"? It straddles the line of emo-pop and indie rock, and does some pretty interesting and unexpected things. They decided to release their most emo songs as singles though, in order to ensure that they'll never be taken seriously.

Went to CD Game Exchange yesterday, and made quite a score. For 95 cents (4 cd's, so 24 cents each on average), tax included, I got:

Readers Digest Pop N Country Christmas…3 cd set featuring everybody from Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and Buck Owens to Ella Fitzgerald, the Beach Boys, Burl Ives, and Dean Martin.

Also, got the Lucksmiths 2001 release:

At this point, the Lucksmiths seem fated to a lifetime of comparisons to Belle & Sebastian â?? granted, both bands share a common sensibility distinguished by the same cynical lyricism, gorgeously immediate melodies, and gilded harmonies, but with the stunning Why That Doesn't Surprise Me, the Lucksmiths have plainly staked out their own territory as well. Marty Donald is as good as any songwriter going â?? the opening "Music to Hold Hands To" and the sun-kissed "Broken Bones" in particular are as memorable as any pop songs you're likely to hear this year or any other, buoyed by lilting acoustic guitars and wordplay that recalls vintage Morrissey in both its savage wit and poetic grace. Indeed, for all the classicist elements of the Lucksmiths' aesthetic â?? ringing, Byrds-like melodies, "sha-la-la" vocals, elegant string arrangements, and the like â?? Why That Doesn't Surprise Me also boasts a uniquely postmodern edge that turns pop conventions on their ear.
