Augusto Martelli : to listen to.
Jethro Tull : to watch.
I think Ian Anderson is hardcore. You tell me.

Meanwhile, back at the patch.
Jesus Billy, really? 44 songs? I thought you were still doing Tequila.
Fuck. You are white.
Alright, if you didn't read the link ~ I didn't either ~ The......... 'all new smashing pumpkins' are putting out a 44 track album ~ 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope' ~ in October FOR FREE.
It's a bit hokey. But perhaps we'll care about them again? Naw. That's silly. I mean, as a friend mentioned, could 44 songs really combine to an actual /concept/ or otherwise album? Even Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness had no real cohesiveness. But I bet they got connections enough to at least get on that new lame Leno show. Fuck TV.
So be on the scout! I'm sure your phone will tell you when it's time to download.
Don't sit by it.

You may have missed him of the day.
Ryan Adams. Yes ~ not Bryan Adams ~ Ryan Adams.
Most notable for such pop-stopping hits as New York, New York. Well, he's uuuber'd himself into whatthafuck oblivion. And I, for maybe the only one, love it. His coordinates in NYC street-lore may have never met, but he's a righteous sonnabitch.
This live version of La Cienga Just Smiled ~ and just wait for it, it gets going ~ is from the 2001 GOLD release. I think Ryan, nee David, deserves songwriting, stage-presence and general wherewithal to be who he is and was. It's fuckall easy to write bad press for someone who tends to ex, and, implode simultaneously on a vision. I mean, listen to his songs. But I certainly enjoyed the journey.
Following his marriage and departure from the Cardinals, Ryan announced~ as we in the press are privy ~ that he left music in March. However, Ryan has completed and released his first book of free-verse poetry, Infinity Blues in early April of 2009. His second book of shorts and poems, Hello Sunshine is due for release in December. Judging by the titles, I have to say that it sounds on the up-and-up. Perhaps there is a reason for Mandy Moore after all...
I jest.
Or do I? Hopefully I do. But what he had the capacity to create and record from 2000 - 2008 : eleven albums, 3 in 2005 : is quite a cannon to behold. Take him at face value or throw him out the window. He couldn't care less and would want you to listen anyway. Conundrum'd to the end.
May I recommend:

Gold 2001
Demolition 2002
Rock N Roll 2003

Jacksonville City Nights w/ The Cardinals 2005
29 2005
That video was from 2005. He was tinkering with sobriety, but I wasn't. And I didn't mind him not looking at the audience, telling us to shut the fuck up, or his general hate-rages. To be young!
He also plays mad piano. And began blogging for The Awl in September of 2009.

The who? Of the Day.
Chuck Klosterman is a humorist. His latest article in The Onion uncovered the much blurred past of four Englishmen. Probably like you've never read before. peruse.
Chuck doesn't appear to have a personal website, but if you're not familiar with his pop-cultural musings, take a trip about the many media he dances between. wiki.
And if you include sports in your pop-satirical world, Chuck's chats with The SportsGuy are tops in the business.

A Day late of the Day
Elvis Perkins played at Housing Works in NYC last night. What a delight.
And no worries, if you missed last night's show, just skip on over to Portland, Oregon for tonight's performance at the Doug Fir Lounge. What a crazy tour manager?
And for bonus missed coverage... accompanying Perkins last night was RaRa Riot.
Yeah, but it was only a DJ set. So, you know. You'd not have known it was them.

Echo of the Day
This gets caught between my ears for years at a time. Since 1987.
Lips Like Sugar
Their website is a bit of a mess, but here it is. Or maybe I just wasn't focusing. Both are possibly true statements. They have no 2009 dates set for the states at present.
Formed in 1978 in Liverpool, the Bunnymen have had breaks, splits, new frontmen and old one's return. Here's the wiki-tale.

The Magnetic Fields never repel. And the choreography has never been in better hands.
To have such whirling staged dreams... just be sure to wrote them down!
