What's on Sarah Palin's iPod?
I bet there's two songs by FEAR she uses to amp herself up for ripping Biden's head off though.

Am I really the first to add the Shania Twain song book performed by someone who's not a dirty whore? I have to get back around here more often.

Labels Invest in MOG???
Actually, I'll admit begrudging respect for Universal who has lately been the savviest about digital music strategy. A year ago no major label could find the internet with a flashlight, a browser and FIOS. Of all of the missteps, Universal has…

eMusic question: Frightened Rabbit vs. She and Him
I did a podcast on that a while ago (file didn't make it with the conversion to Radio Exile, so no link). There are surprises to be found, but I was more surprised upon hearing a Beach Boys song I liked than most indie from the last six months.…

eMusic question: Frightened Rabbit vs. She and Him
Frightened Rabbit = less orchestral Okkervil River, or am I missing something? It's good, and in my sweet spot, I suppose, but not the freshest slice of pie.

Listening to the Rabbit now. The SXSW/Conan/radio station sessions are plenty on the She & Him. Thanks, Elbo.ws!

eMusic question: Frightened Rabbit vs. She and Him
Side note: the "J'Accuse Ted Hughes" from Sonic Youth is very worth 2 tracks if you're so inclined.

eMusic question: Frightened Rabbit vs. She and Him
Also, watching She & Him with Yo La Tengo (admittedly a personal fave) on Conan (thanks, stereogum) was like watching one of those "one of these things just doesn't belong" segments on Sesame Street. M. was superfulous and Z. seem…

Brandon goes to a wedding and all f'ing hell breaks loose. Shall we pick up a conch to decide who gets to talk?

Hypem Muxtape Integration
I think that runs counter to the point of Mux, but I wasn't there when it was developed, so could be very wrong.

That one was particularly through the looking glass, but Wendy, never fear. Light ribbing at worst.

And that's enough, really. I'd add that just to have one place to get all the latest in one stream rather than going to a page with 40 RSS feeds organized separately. I add your feed and it gets mixed in with NPR, my buddy Matt and GigaOm…

What's funny about Dou Chebag face? I know Dou and he's a really great guy with an average face.

Not a fan of facebook either. I've got a page, but anyone I have "friended" there, I know well enough to e-mail or call. I believe it's still for a younger (dating, not married) set, but who's to say. I've never heard…

I was actually using a Yoda STFU. Up the ffff shut, rather than the poorly constructed (in my view of yoda grammar) TFSU. Doesn't the verb always go last unless there's a clause? (It takes a special kind of nerd to parse yado-ish, I know.…

According to NPR, Hillary raised $10 MM since PA. So yeah, she's in for the duration and might be liquid at the end of it.

Matthew, Agree wholeheartedly. I was responding more to Adam, but the point is the same. How you communicate and how reachable you are is neither definite over the long term nor indicative of the value of your character. My experience is the more…

We all have our boundaries on communication. It isn't political. I had a friend who was the last person in America to have a cell phone (I want to say 2003-ish). He Twitters. Use what you feel comfortable with, but don't imagine that yo…

Bringing this back in case anyone's reconsidered in the last month. It's much cooler than I assumed. And yes, BBC and NPR updates are more than welcome along with the info flood. Thank god it's only 140 characters per entry. Th…

How (and yes I've emailed elbows) can I get my blog to show up on elbows?
Oooh. Yeah, a flag needs to be thrown on that one. No "code reds" if you've only been at if for a few weeks (and one post in 2006 doesn't count).

Record Store Day -- April 19
I got the M83, too. Eh. And as for the day, the carnival atmosphere was a bit much, but the staff seemed really excited and there was a good crowd. I got a ton of free stuff that I'll listen to eventually, maybe. The free Gnarles and H…

More on the difference between 9.387% and 10% for those PA Obama supporters who feel defeated. THanks for voting! http://www.npr.org/blogs/news/2008/04/clintons_victory_in_pa_nine_pe_1.html?ft=1

Meh. The polls were right. I was thinking 9% and it was 9.387% (or close enough to keep the delegates more or less even). If she had a shot to win, I'd say this gave her the right to pull out all of the stops, but all this will do will str…

I think I need a stiff drink:
Close your eyes, hold your breath and know you'll come out the other side? It sucks, but it's temporary and you have you're own place in the end. Specifically, ARMs are OK if you think you'll be moving in the next ten year…

Record Store Day -- April 19
OK, then. I understand that. I suppose I do too, but my internal BS alarm didn't go off, so I posted it. (And the Van Gogh comparison doesn't have any merit? Rats. Anyway, it's not nostalgia I got to record stores for.)

For get behind the mule I like John Hammond, Jr.'s version. Also 2:19, both from Wicked Grin.
