"Before you know it as the years go by, you're just like other people you have seen, with all those peculiar human ailments. Just another vehicle for temper and vanity and rashness and all the rest. Who wants it? Who needs it? These things occupy the place where a man's soul should be." -- Henderson the Rain King

The Future of Music

Wilco is running a drawing for a gold record plaque commemerating Yankee Hotel Foxtrot's 500,000+ U.S. sales. You can't win if you don't enter. In other Wilco related news, Wired just ran this article dubbing them 'the future of music'. Best quote:


"If Metallica still needs money then there's something really, really wrong." - Jeff Tweedy

In order to raise money to support the independently operated PixiesMusic.com, the Pixies have donated copies of several out-of-print DiscLive shows from their recent tour. The CDs can be purchased from American Laundromat Records for $20 a pop. Get 'em while you can. By the way, did anyone catch the Pixies tearing it up on Austin City Limits recently? Thank you TiVo!

New daddy Patterson Hood has posted a rough cut of the song 'Granddaddy' from his upcoming solo CD. You can check out a full solo show from February 5th here.

ClemSnide.org has 3 new live MP3's posted: 'Collapse', 'I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire', and 'When We Become'.

You can check out tracks from the Brian Jonestown Massacre's Tepid Peppermint Wonderland here.

BandToBand.com is a cool site for seeing the interrelationship of the members of various bands. I wonder how many degrees of seperation there are between the Misfits and Kevin Bacon...
