Random Music Notes

God bless the iPod. 15GB of songs on shuffle brought forth Pavement's "Two States" from 1992's Slanted & Enchanted (which, when released, was also an election year):

Two states!
We want two states
North and south
Two, two states
40 million daggers!

Two states!
We want two states
There's no culture
There's no spies
40 million daggers!

Made me smile.

Speaking of music, I'm off to see the Pixies tonight for their final show of a five-night run at the Aragon in Chicago. Urge Overkill is opening, and I plan to spend their entire set laughing at them. They sucked then; they are sure to suck now.

Also speaking of music, today's news on Pitchfork brought two pieces of exciting nostalgia. Cream is reuniting, and The Slits debut album is being reissued. Music geeks rejoiced. (Huzzah.)
