OH MY GOD. just when i didn’t think i could love The Current anymore than i already do, they go and make my love grow. i did not think my heart was capable of holding so much love towards something that didn’t come from the body of one of my sisters and call me aunt bad lady or for something that didn’t put its penis inside of me or for something that gets kinda snarky when i kick its orange furry body off the bed so my feet have a warm spot, but now i know it’s possible.
because here i am sitting, diligently working away (which i’ve been doing for an hour and a half, which means i got here at 8 AM!) and i’m singing along ever so quietly in my singalong at work voice to “No Peace Los Angeles.” and i’m just singing along not really thinking much of it, then i realize that i’m listening to the motherfucking radio and not my own personal mp3 collection. yes, they were PLAYING “no peace los angeles” on the radio. and if you know how very much i love mike doughty you can understand how rad it is to hear his solo work on the motherfucking radio.
I totally know what you mean. This morning I was awakened 89.3 @ 9:03am and heard Dan Wilson’s “Free Life” recorded from a live, in-studio performance.
An excellent song…excellent enough to cause me to get out from under the warm covers, walk over to the puter and look it up on iTunes.
It wasn’t up there…but I did manage to track down a website for Dan Wilson, http://www.danwilsonmusic.com/ only to find out he’s producing Doughty’s new album, “You Should be Doubly Gratified”.
according to the very personal e-mail that mike doughty sent me (ok it wasn’t personal at all, in fact it’s like his newsletter or somethign) the album will be called Haughty Melodic and come out May 3rd and the track list looks a little something like this:
1. Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well
2. Unsingable Name
3. Madeline and Nine
4. Busting Up A Starbucks
5. White Lexus
6. American Car
7. Tremendous Brunettes
8. I Hear The Bells
9. Sunken-Eyed Girl
10. Grey Ghost
11. His Truth Is Marching On
12. Your Misfortune
Are you trying to say Dan Wilson lies on his website?
yes, yes i am. and if dan has a problem with that he should call me at home. or come see me. or call me at work. or just call me.
I’ll be sure to give him your info when I talk with him again.
