  1. Look at 50 robot t-shirts.
  2. Download new Tilly and the Wall songs from their Daytrotter session.
  3. My friend indie gay John sent me this recommendation for anyone who needs a nice point and shoot camera on the cheap.  It’s only good for today, so get on it if you want it. (John’s math: $350 Full price - $87 Discount - $26 10% off coupon code  C1H27R54QC5MT6 + Tax = $248.05 Final price)
  4. So, Idlewild is coming out with a Best Of disc and it includes a bonus DVD.  I will likely pick it up just because I want the DVD. In any case, I just found out one of the DVD extras is a live recording of When I Argue I See Shapes done at an acoustic in-store in Boston in 2003.  THAT I WENT TO BECAUSE I LIVED IN BOSTON IN 2003! I was in the front row, or maybe second, but I was standing by these two annoying hyper-obsessive girls who, at the signing after the show, gave Roddy Woomble four pairs of socks (the socks were labeled with different Idlewild song titles with the word “socks” substituted for one of the random words. For example, You Held The World In Your Arms became You Held the World In Your Socks. When it was my turn, I apologized to Roddy for not having brought him any footwear and he chuckled. It was awesome). IN ANY CASE, the point of this is to say that I might be on the new Idlewild DVD, because Newbury Comics is very small. Unfortunately, the image of me that will be immortalized will be of the doughy, bespectacled, poorly dressed Dan 1.0 version. We’re on version 3.5 right now, if you must know.
  5. Janet Reno is executive producing an anthology of American music that includes contributions from Devendra Barnhart and the Blind Boys of Alabama.
