Baby Update: Amy is being prescribed a healthy dose of bed rest, but has been taken off of the Terbutaline (SP?) so at least her heart palpitations have ceased. We are still playing the baby waiting game. It could be tonight or it could happen two weeks from now. Who knows. She is hella uncomfortable and is having horrible heartburn. I can’t even imagine what it must be like for her. She (and all other mothers) get the utmost respect from me for what they go through. Remember guys, be loving to and patient with your pregnant wives. They really deserve it.
I will post the Jeff Tweedy live show tomorrow. I promise. Oh yeah, and the new iPod is sweet. I gotta get me one of those.
Holopaw has a new record out now on Sub Pop that I have really been enjoying lately. Holopaw features some guys that were (are) in bands like Ugly Cassanova and The Mercury Program. This group of Floridians play alt-county-ish (sorta) music that doesn’t really sound a whole lot like either of their label mates Fruit Bats or Iron & Wine, but is good and distinct in its own right. They have a muted sound that is a bit hard to pin down. Atmospheric without being hazy, their music is subtle, understated, and wholly wonderful.
Why do so many bands cover songs by The Misfits? Minus Story is the latest that I’ve heard cover “Hybrid Moments.” Although I love the Bob Nanna sung Friction version, this one is great as well. I especially love the 1:30 of clanking noise at the end. Ahhh… This is a quirky pop band that may (or may not) sound anything like anybody else. Give ‘em a listen.
