Jay Farrar

Anyone heard that new(ish) Leon Russell/Elton John record?

Thinking about dl'ing it (legally) but any feedback is welcome.

Folks aren't talking about it because that would be admitting they voted for an anti-American, weak, apoligist, a-hole. Oh, my bad, everything is still all Bush's fault. Just keep believing that. You do realize that Republicans and conservatives - including Palin, McCain, and W - supported the TARP...

in this comic book that some bro put out. http://www.npr.org/blogs/monitormix/2010/05/music_fan_fiction_glenn_henry.html I've often thought that the hand-wringing and worrying that occasionally pops up on this board over the state of Farrar's and Tweedy's relationship has a lot of these creepy under...

Well said, all.

But what of the notion that as drivers of automobiles we are all culpable - proximate causes, if you will - of this mess?

Massive Attack (not out yet, but a couple weeks)
Spoon
Surfer Blood
Big Pink (within last year, anyway)

Anyone?

I'm not gonna dig it up now, but Kot did a complimentary show review after Farrar/Gibbard/Spencer played in Chicago a couple months back. Saw him at the show that night, was pleasantly surprised at the positive tone of the review (having in mind the stuff that Grifter references). Best part was that...

Both DeRo and Kot gave it a "buy it" rating.

There's probably a link to the audio of their discussion somewhere on the site.

As awful as I feel for the guy, it also makes me mad that he's putting his mother through this. The Post reports that she's the one that found him on the floor bleeding.

He was off for a week or two before the 2-week holiday break, and isn't in this week. Pre-holidays, Howard acknowledged that management told him to take some time off and get right - unclear exactly what precipitated that. Over the holiday break he was rushed to the hospital, and Howard confirmed th...

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who paid attention during the campaign - he was pretty clear about the need to clean up Afghanistan pre-election. Anyone who voted for him thinking otherwise was ill-informed. Whether one agrees with the escalation or not, there's no bait-and-switch or tri...

Can't wait to hear Howard reminisce on Monday.

He's back today.

Missed the very beginning of the show, so didn't catch what explanation - if any - was given.

Out again this morning.

Howard and the gang are being coy as to what's going on, or if they really even know.

I basically agree with that.

It makes for an interesting and "suspenseful" dynamic on the show, and I think I remember seeing some Howard talk on the board here and there. But yeah, you pretty much nailed it.
