Regarding some of the poll answers, please refresh my memory on the solo albums by Topper Headon and/or Terry Chimes and Michael Clark (? – The Byrds’ “drummer”).
I think we’ve got a hands-down winner in the Willburys, despite what The People have voted.
the photon band are playing at JohnnyBrendas on friday night (june 22d). please come!!!
mod, as i’ve asked in the past: where’s that RTH Kiosk page, where bands can post digital flyers and notices for their gigs?
i keep asking because i really think it’s a great idea, and also because whenever the photon band has a gig, i want to let RTH’ers know, and I feel like there’s no appropriate place to post about it. I’ll post it on the list, but it would be nice to be able to post the flyer on this blog, too.
so forgive me for hi-jacking this thread:
we’re playing with a band from new england called verona downs. i really like their songs.
in other news, our digi-ep (called “get down here in the stratosphere”) of outtakes from our forthcoming album will finally REALLY be available on all digital media outlets known to man (including i-Tunes) on July 3rd.

The Happy Father’s Day thread seems to be history, so I’ll post the lyrics to my current favorite “father” song. It’s on Loudon Wainwright’s latest CD (“Strange Weirdos” being a sort-of soundtrack to Knocked Up). It’s written by Peter Blegvad.
Daughter – Peter Blegvad
Everything she sees
she says she wants.
Everything she says she wants
I see she gets.
That’s my daughter in the water
everything she owns I bought her
Everything she owns.
That’s my daughter in the water,
everything she knows I taught her.
Everything she knows.
Everything I say
she takes to heart.
Everything she takes
she takes apart.
That’s my daughter in the water
every time she fell I caught her.
Every time she fell.
That’s my daughter in the water,
I lost every time I fought her.
I lost every time.
Every time she blinks
she strikes somebody blind.
Everything she thinks
blows her tiny mind.
That’s my daughter in the water,
who’d have ever thought her?
Who’d have ever thought?
That’s my daughter in the water,

Everything she knows.
I agree with hrrundiv, AMG is painfully slow, and its dormancy has led me to look elsewhere for information that I know it has. I wish I had a dollar for every time I got the ‘timed out’ error message.
HrrundiSteve: Ah. Can’t help you there. I occasionally get the timeout message myself, and my assumption is simply that the servers are straining under the load.

I’ve had a couple of requests for this on and off blog, so I thought I’d throw this up for a couple days for anyone that wants it.

Looking at today’s proud papa poll makes me think of the Loudon Wainwright song “T.S.M.N.W.A.”, which stands for “They Spelled My Name Wrong Again”.
You are a crafty veteran of the pince nez, Al!

SERIOUS QUESTION FOR THE GREAT48:
Hey, G48: why does the allmusic site suck so bad as far as uptime and availability are concerned? It’s really frustrating, G!
Uptime? Availability? Que?
