More picks from next week's Hardly Strictly line-up:
Elvis Perkins in Dearland - with the exception of two throw away songs, holy crap this album is good.
Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
John Prine - Germans Afternoons
Doc Watson - mix
Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus
I'm stoked!

[Lee G]

I've been too busy (and too sick) to have a proper five, even if we'd done it Wednesday. Also, I am preserving my musical chi in preparation for a bumper crop of October goodness: Supersilent, Fire!, Atlas Sound, Om, the list goes on.

I have Somewhere in Time on the waiting pile. Should I expect to be disappointed?

the title track and "the loneliness of the long-distance runner" are typically risible IM epics and there's some filler. but "wasted years" (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4659162333941255704&ei=-gS9SrTAKIKmrAK7hdnjBg&q=iron+maiden+wasted+years&hl=en&client=firefox-a#) might be the best thing they ever did.

haven't we already had this conversation?

[Lee G]

OK, here's the last five off the shuffling 'Pod:

- Donovan “Colours”
- Califone “The Eye You Lost in the Crusades”
- the Fall “Just Step Sideways”
- Erkin Koray “Sana Birseyler Olmus” (aka “Land of a Thousand Dances” in Turkish)
- LCD Soundsystem “Yeah (Crass Version)”

I'm excited about that, too. I never knew all that non-album stuff existed.

[joethelion]

I worked at Ardent for a little while back in the '90s and always heard stories about the old facility that had basically been abandoned and locked up, as-is, and hardly touched since, with vinyl biscuits on the presses and everything. If John's started digging into that stuff, he'll probably be unearthing interesting crap for years.

[joethelion]

wow, i did not know that! do you remember kim jenkins? luther baily? two friends of mine who used worked there (the one on madison obviously)

I worked for Kim! Luther doesn't ring a bell. Do you remember where the old Ardent building is? They used to call it "the ______ building," after the street its on, but my mind's a blank now.

[joethelion]

i'm pretty sure it was on national, in north memphis. i never get up that way. supposedly there is an old big star grocery store across the street, thus the name of the band

i still see kim every now and then, we're old high school buddies. i'll tell him you said hi
