OK, an update

It's now been one month since my last update. Not much has happened - Purdue football started, and God are they terrible. Winning ugly, but winning. I've seen three Cubs games since last post. All three were Cub victories. We got into a fender bender with some crazy lady on Lakeshore Drive - of course, in our new car. We've lined up three great poster jobs - Hank Williams III, Shooter Jennings and Pretty Girls Make Graves.
I haven't seen anyshows, but I did see the Lemonheads were coming to the Double Door in December ... gotta get a ticket for that one for sure.
Anyway .. music has been short lately as my iTunes at work has somehow lost about 90 percent of my library of music. I'm slowly loading it all back on ...

So, this is what I heard today:
Cake "Motorcade of Generosity"
Billy Bragg and Wilco "Mermaid Avenue Vol. 1"
Al Green "Greatest Hits"
Belle & Sebastian "Dog on Wheels"

Cake is tasty - the band that is. I'm not a fan of actual cake - I like pie better. I was first exposed to Cake through a girl I used to date and it hit me with the simplicity and balance of a Mondrian painting. Talk/singing (not rap btw) over low-fi guitar, bass, drum and horns.
My favorites being "Pentagram," "Jesus Wrote a Blank Check," "Rock n' Roll Lifestyle" and "I Bombed Korea Last Night."
Everytime I listen to "Rock n Roll Lifestyle" I laugh. A nice ditty ripping into people who act the part of rock fan, but are only in it to be seen. Hopefully, I don't become a poser of this type over the years - I want to be hip, even after my hips go out!
