Last night I attended one of those silent-auction-school-fundraiser things. You know, one of those things where you can bid on a basket of scented shit while eating a Costco cookie all the while bemoaning the fact that you’re missing Ramon Troncoso pitch four shutout innings in what is the first glimpse of light this season in the Dodger’s bullpen.
In the past we’ve come home with some decent deals on summer camps for the boys, baskets of scented shit and “principal for a day” certificates. But last night I hit the relative jackpot. I was the only bidder on a “digital library” called Rolling Stone: Cover to Cover. It comes with a proprietary browsing/reading program and three discs of content that feature every page of every issue of Rolling Stone magazine from launch thru May 2007. I picked this beauty up for $20.
Chock full o’ stuff like:

Never Been Any Reason is indeed a strong contender for Rock ‘N Roll National Anthem. On the strength of this classic alone, Head East is overdue for a critical upgrade. And I’m not alone on this. In 2001, the 20th Century Masters Millennium Collection gave their rare stamp of approval to these guys.
Some folks I know haven’t dipped too far into the Head East catalog and that needs to end now!

I can only think of a couple of good reunion (or post-reunion) albums. Cheap Trick’s Rockford is pretty good but I’m not even sure that counts as they never took more than 4 years between releases. Did they ever officially call it quits?
I digress.
The Buzzcocks Flat-Pack Philosophy is pretty good and clearly a post-reunion album.
I thought about this other day when Simply Saucer’s reunion album, Half Human, Half Live, (and actual only official album release) was recommended. I picked it up on eMusic and it is good, but not great.
Am I missing something obvious? Are there any great reunion albums?

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Bob Dylan has sung about wind many times — winds of change, the “Idiot Wind,” and the winds that hit heavy on the borderline.
But some of his California neighbors on Tuesday were singing a new tune about what is blowin’ in the wind from his Malibu toilet.
A family living near the 67-year-old folk and rock icon’s house in the posh California beachside community of Malibu have complained to city officials about an outdoor portable toilet, which is apparently used by guards on Dylan’s compound.
Cindy and David Emminger say the toilet wafts fumes from waste treatment chemicals, and that the smell carried by breezes from the Pacific Ocean makes their family feel ill.
“It’s a scandal – ‘Mr Civil Rights’ is killing our civil rights,” David Emminger told the Los Angeles Times.
Full story here- Bob Dylan’s toilet smell blows in the wind
Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is top both my and Reuter’s headlines for this story. Should any Townsman, or Townswoman be “caught or killed, The Back Office will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

These guys were an early 70s Canadian band, Hamilton to be exact, heavily influenced by Syd’s Pink Floyd, The Stooges and The Velvet Underground. Formed in 1972, the first six tracks on the belated album, Cyborgs Revisited, were recorded in 1974 by Bob and Daniel Lanois (fellow Hamiltonians) in their mother’s basement. The sessions were aborted when funds ran out.
