Ooo yay

Did anyone here get into that xx show last night?  If so, how was it?

I always thought Julian Koster was a little eccentric but this is completely insane.

"It?s caroling time again!  Julian Koster and his Singing Saw will come to your house to bring songs, stories, and good cheer to you and
your friends ? all you have to do is invite them!

Julian introduced the world to the wonderful holiday traditions of his friends, The Singing Saws, last year with The Singing Saw at Christmastime. This
bizarre and beautiful album and it?s accompanying glimpse into Julian?s vivid imagination has become an instant holiday classic.  The Singing Saw at Christmastime
is available on CD, LP and digital download. Stream the whole album in the
Merge store,
and visit the
Merge blog
to watch a video of Julian & the Singing Saw performing ?Santa Claus is Coming to Town.?

You may invite the carolers to visit your house by emailing
musictapescaroling@gmail.com
or by mailing a handwritten letter to 450 N. Harris St. Athens, GA  30601 (due to time constraints, please send an email to let the ?caroling ambassador?
know you are sending a letter). Be sure to include an email address or telephone number for reply.  Invitations where the hosts indicate that they would
be willing to entertain outside guests on caroling night are preferred. Please note your permission to invite others from the area to your house and whether
you can offer the carolers a place to sleep in your letter or email.

Once the limit on houses on a given night has been reached, the address of each house that will welcome guests will be distributed via email to all who
email
musictapescaroling@gmail.com
and ask to attend. The addresses of the houses will not be posted online."

December 19th, 20th, 21st: Philadelphia, NYC, Baltimore, DC, Chapel Hill

even the jam world has now embraced the idea that supergroups are the new shite shite.  john kadlecik (fake jerry) leaves dark star orchestra to join phil lesh and bob weir in something called "furthur."  hippies scratch their beards and think strange thoughts, everywhere.  full tour to soon follow.  if you saw the 930 dso shows, you are lucky . . . you saw one the last few shows with the best guitarist they'll ever have.

I sat on my ass and did nothing friday and saw Jandek on saturday. I'm content with that.

The only way this could possible be a true statement is if the ellipsis was followed by "to still be alive because Dark Star Orchestra makes most people jam pencils into their ear until they bleed to death."

on presale now on musictoday.

Public onsale 10/30, presale 10/27

(fund-raiser to fight youth homelessness, will include a sneek peak at the behind-the-scenes movie made during and about this summer's virgin freefest, see website for more info)

It will take a traffic jam of millions to hold them back: Tomorrow night, hip-hip icons Public Enemy will perform in the streets of Foggy Bottom, rapping on a flatbed truck en route to a headlining concert at Lisner Auditorium.

It's an effort to promote National Homeless Youth Awareness month and the reunited rap group, featuring Chuck D and Flava Flav, will be touring the Sasha Bruce House in Southeast Washington earlier in the evening.

Around 7:45 p.m., they'll arrive in Foggy Bottom to bring the noise. At the concert, fans who donate a new or gently used winter coat will be eligible for a free VIP ticket upgrade with all proceeds from concert's ticket sales benefiting the Sasha Bruce House.

I'm sure I'm about to cause at least one forumer heart-attack from the looks of it, but who the heck are The Magnetic Fields? Everyone's acting like this is this huge thing and I've never heard of them.

uh oh  ;D
