I love FineTune. What a fantastic time-waster. There’s even a special site for listening on your Wii. My profile, here.

THE BEST MAN ROCKS OUT
I just had to post this: my best man and best friend, Corey Gillen, playing drums behind Gran Bel Fisher on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (I love the fact that they were on with Billy Ray Cyrus…)
MY LISTENING YEAR, 2006
Just me riffing on John Porcellino:
Special treat: an updated page of every Bob Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour show.
DANIEL JOHNSTON
You must be wrong if you think you don’t love me…
Daniel Johnston – “Silly Love”
This is the first song you see Daniel Johnston play in the wonderful documentary about his life, THE DEVIL AND DANIEL JOHNSTON. I couldn’t get it out of my head for a week.
If you’re unfamiliar with Daniel Johnston’s music and art, check out his website, the fansite Rejected Unknown, and the BBC Collective’s page on him.
Here’s a great Youtube clip of his song, “I Had Lost My Mind,” complete with an animated drawing from the documentary:
R.E.M. PERSON
I promise tomorrow I’m going to post a nice pretty picture up here, but for now, The Dems won, Meg and I just finished kicking the GRE in the nuts, and it’s 60 degrees outside, so we’re going to relax and get the apartment ready for the company we’re having this weekend.
In the meantime, there’s a great article from Slate about R.E.M. versus U2. Sorry Don, but I’m on the R.E.M. side of the fence. I went through my big R.E.M. phase in high school, when I stole borrowed a copy of Reckoning from my girlfriend’s brother. I hadn’t listened to them lately until I found a mint copy of the Murmur LP at Half Price for four bucks. Ooh, did it sound good.
Other things that sound good: Exploding Hearts and this dude.
