Ah, Ahab, a very apropos Jurado song title.

And did you fork out the money for that entire Merge anniversary box, or did you land the covers CD separately somehow?

Starts strong with Ninja Gun, then bumps around that good Sarge tune, then ends with a nice set from Rilo on.

If you don't know my friends from Ninja Gun, check out this interview. If Coody's answer to the first question doesn't make you a rabid fan, nostalgia for Rove has taken over your brain.

Now Pavement. The nice run continues. . . (blog coming, George; they replaced my computer this week and I'm adjusting.)

oops. Los Campesinos! Just a segue song, but a great band. Oh, and Ninja met Willie Nelson by chance.

Still don't know why breaks are doubling. If I don't type in
it all runs together.

The line break thing is fixed. I previewed, saw that, and had to tediously remove the br tags.

George, I thought you'd like the Jurado title. And I got the plain old Merge 20th anniversary CD. I forget how. It was a limited edition, I think. I've been on a CD tear for months, it's all fading together. I'll share it with you. I finally read some mail and even paid my bills a couple of days ago, so music chores are next. Honest.
