music lately.

last weekend, i saw the Old 97's two nights in a row. they are my favorite live band ever. i've seen them 10 times now.

first, in new orleans. ken is my guitar god.



second, on the water with some of my best friends. rhett wore a black t-shirt. it was a perfect summer night.




i've been listening to FLEET FOXES (excellent), the dB's, freddie & the dreamers, squeeze, subway sect, and of course, Elvis Costello. he is probably the most amazing man ever, so, you know. here are a few pieces of proof for that statement:

"(the angels wanna wear my) red shoes" on Top of the Pops



the video for "no dancing"



"lipstick vogue" live



the HI-LARIOUS video for "i can't stand up for falling down"



"watch your step," probably the most gorgeous song of all time, on a television program



and a stunning rendention of "man out of time" on tv



see? what'd i tell you.
