I can't figure out why I am not desperately in love with Colin Meloy. I went to see him at the Paradise Club tonight and he was brilliant. He played Tarkio songs, and new songs, and covers (I got a copy of Colin Meloy Sings Shirley Collins). He played an "I'm having a baby song." And even though I told him, "no, Colin, no" when he said he had written one, it was a really great song. for its kind. And he looked so damn pleased with himself. He actually introduced it with, "I really want to apologize for this next song . . ." He said his mantra for this tour is "Less Talk, More Rock," but he didn't stick to that. Thank goodness.

Posted by: jb at January 26, 2006 8:38 AMI'm desperately in love with Colin Meloy, but I know my parents will never consent to this love.
Posted by: funke at January 26, 2006 8:54 AMPS Glad you had much fun. I am going to see Belle and Sebastien in Toronto next month. The New Pornographers, too. I'm kinda getting into the New Pornographers (try Twin Cinema). Give them a listen on iTunes. See what ya think.
Posted by: funke at January 26, 2006 8:55 AMJB thought you were dead and had been missing since Sunday.

Posted by: Eb at January 28, 2006 1:34 AMAlso, I think I already made Linnea listen to The New Pornographers. At least, I should have.

Posted by: funke at January 28, 2006 10:41 AMokay, I don't remember either of you making me listen to them. I got Twin Cinema out of the library because I saw that Neko Case did vocals.
