Here is a new track on the upcoming Guillemots release, 'Red'....the tune is called 'Kriss Kross'...very cool. I for one am really looking forward to this, 'Through The Window Pane' was one of the more pleasant surprises to me when it was released a couple of years ago.

I am such a sucker for Velvet Underground songs. No matter who is covering them. This is one of my favorites. Matthew Sweet and former Bangle Susanna Hoffs doing 'Sunday Morning'...Lou Reed never sounded so sweet.

I agree 100% with Bettie Serveet...for today at least. Just one of those days that everyone you encounter seems to have an agenda or a cross to bear or at the very least a mild personality disorder. I will take the high road, and rather than go Michael Douglas in 'Falling Down' I will bite my lip and dedicate a song to all of the morons I had to deal with today.

As I was walking down Hollywood Blvd last night on my way to see a band, they lyrics of
this Band Of Horses song, 'St Augustine', echoed through my head..."Hollywood is calling out your name"...as between all of the over priced bars and nightclubs homeless people sleep in the alleys...the stark contrast between the haves and the have-nots here is omnipresent.

'Pavement' was the first band I ever immortalized in sticker form on my green Chevy Cavalier, the first car I ever owned. It was a giant black sticker with Pavement spelled out in giant block yellow letters...so tacky, I loved it!
So needless to say, for nostalgia's sake alone, new Stephen Malkmus music is still a big deal for me. Here is one off of the new record 'Real Emotional Trash.'
