Housing Works Friday Night

we'll be doing our book reading / song singing thing for Our Noise this friday, Oct 23 at 7 PM in NYC at the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe and this time a real writer -- John Cook -- will be joining us! hear how a writer reads! maybe he'll play the spoons or something too.

Tuesday Listening

Beatles - Beatles For Sale
Emitt Rhodes - Recordings 1969-1973 (dbl CD set!)
Dexys Midnight Runners - Searching for the Young Soul Rebels
Eddy Current Suppression Ring - Primary Colours
Greg Cartwright - Live At Circle A (great new solo acoustic LP which my 2-yr old son tried to destroy this morning, i may need to get another copy!)

Hockney Today

David Hockney can be a pretty divisive figure, but i am a fan. Still, i wouldn't expect to see something as cool from him at this point as the paintings they showed in the Times article about him today...pretty wild.

"Chatting" now

about the Merge Our Noise book! over HERE

btw 2 and 3 today! we will say lots of things.

Booking It Again

more Our Noise-related events coming up this week, starting tomorrow night in lovely Asheville, NC at the bookstore that sounds like a comedy club, Malaprop's. FYI, the Barbara Kingsolver event in November has been moved to a high school auditorium, but tomorrow night we should all fit in the bookstore. good timing for a trip to Asheville as Richard Buckner is playing tomorrow night at the Grey Eagle! Seems like a perfect place to see some Buckner.

then on Monday i'll be in DC for the Future of Music Policy Summit, appearing on a panel in the AM, hopefully watching Al Franken's keynote speech after that, and then at 6 PM i'm doing a solo Our Noise in-store at Crooked Beat Records.


Thursday listening:

Pete Townshend - Scoop
Solomon Burke - Home In Your Heart
Times New Viking - Born Again Revisited
The National - Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers
Franklin Bruno - Local Currency - Solo 1992-1998
Yo La Tengo - Popular Songs
