I just heard “Blister in the Sun” in a Wendy’s commercial.
That’s wrong.

the new single by My Chemical Romance (The Black Parade) reminds me of Neutral Milk Hotel’s “in the aeroplane over the sea” crossed with a bit of Olivia Tremor Control. Has MCR been listening to Elephant 6 ?

BBC NEWS: Love singer Arthur Lee dies at 61
Arthur Lee, singer and guitarist of the influential 1960s band Love, has died in Memphis at the age of 61 following a battle with acute myeloid leukaemia. A Memphis native who called himself the “first so-called black hippie”, Lee formed Love in Los Angeles in 1965.
The multiracial band recorded three groundbreaking albums that fused rock, blues and psychedelia – the self-titled Love, Da Capo and Forever Changes.
In the 1990s Lee spent time in prison for illegal possession of a firearm.
But the singer made a triumphant comeback in 2002, touring the US and Europe with a new version of his classic band.

Indie Rock America
The indie rock comeback I’m most looking forward to this fall? America.
Yeah, that America. The AM Gold hitmakers.
On 10/17 the once-popular ’70s fokies release double album Here & Now on Sony’s Burgundy Records, “an innovative record label dedicated to bringing you the best new music from your favorite iconic artists.”
One of the discs contains live material, the other features an all-star cast of Stereogum faves. Adam Schlesinger and James Iha produced. Ryan Adams makes a cameo. Ira and Elliot from Nada Surf help America cover their “Always Love.” AND Jim and Patrick from My Morning Jacket help America cover their lovely “Golden.”
It’s gonna be like Santana’s comeback, but not lame!
Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley gave a preview earlier this month at BB King’s when Iha, Schlesinger, and Adams joined ‘em onstage for “A Horse With No Name.”
