The Drive-By Truckers – A Blessing And A Curse from A Blessing And A Curse
This is around the time that I sort of stopped following the Drive-By Truckers material. But this is great, real great.
Richard Buckner – Picture Day from Dents & Shells
Richard Buckner’s more recent stuff isn’t as good as those great first few albums. This is no exception.
Los Lobos – La Playa from This Time
Los Lobos two nights in a row is always welcome. It’s experimental stuff like this that I want to play for people who only know Los Lobos from La Bamba.
Prince – Let’s Get Satisfied from This Is My Night (bootleg)
Very, very funky version of this track. I wish Prince would release more live albums.
Ugly Casanova – Spilled Milk Factory from Sharpen Your Teeth
I wish there were more Ugly Casanova music out there than there is. I like this Modest Mouse side project better than Modest Mouse. I love the clunky feeling of this track.
Jimi Hendrix – The Stars That Play With Laughing Sam’s Dice from South Saturn Delta
This recently released Hendrix stuff is uninformly quite excellent.
Moonshine Willy – Turn The Lights Down Low from Down to Promised Land: 5 Yrs of Bloodshot Records
A fantastic track from a fantastic compilation. Seriously, this is worth every penny.
Ryan Adams – It Wasn’t from Bedhead Vol 1 (bootleg)
Wish I could find copies of all this stuff again since the only one I have is on the Ipod.We keep hearing about all this unreleased material Adams has. How about a box set of live cuts like this.
Laurie Anderson – The End Of The World from Talk Normal: A Laurie Anderson Anthology
Imagine how great the world would be if Laurie Anderson was a radio staple.
Okkervil River – John Allyn Smith Sails from Stage Names
This band deserves to be huge.
American Music Club – I Broke My Promise from San Francisco
This takes me back. American Music Club was my soundtrack about fifteen years agi when I was going through a bought of debilitating insomnia and only sleeping an hour a day. I used to listen to this album and it would give me a little bit of peace.
The Smiths – Sweet And Tender Hooligans from Louder Than Bombs
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands.
Uncle Tupelo – Back Eye from March 16-20 1992
This is the one Uncle Tupelo album that I don’t really care for.
Tahiti 80 – Fun Fair from Wallpaper for the Soul
Pure yummy pop deliciousness. Second night in a row that the best song comes last.
David Mitchell’s 
Not wanting the high of Infinite Jest to end, I picked up the awkwardly titled
My workplace reading group recently tackled the mammoth 
I’ve been a big fan of Neal Stephenson since I first read Snow Crash back in the mid 90′s. Since that time, Stephenson has evolved from a cyberpunk pioneer to a master of the modern conspiracy novel.
My co-workers and I are going to tackle another monstrous work. We are going to do all of Proust’ Remembrance Of Things Part, separating each volume with a contemporary work. First up is the recent Lydia Davis translation of the first volume,
