Totally with you on the Raconteurs, though I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. It's loads of fun though.

What about the Del Lords and the Del Vikings???

That's easy: Del Viking is a book publisher. What who are the Del Shannons?

Okay, I'm confused but lets kick it up a notch and translate it all into Polish: http://www.poltran.com/ Poltran sounds suspiciously like a robot name--a robot that helps robots even.

Poltran sounds like a robot chicken - and not the Seth Green series...

I just like the Raconteurs disc, though I want so badly to love it, it just doesn't quite click for me. The Twilight Singers I adore though, I think it's Dulli's best work since the early Afghan Whigs albums. The Twilights are going to be playing at my local 100 person venue in a couple weeks, and I'm looking forward to it very much

Alan, which album would you reommend to a gal for a revisionist listening of the Afghan Whigs? I think I may be ready to try again.

I think Gentlemen is one of their best and most accessible discs. It's a little less angsty and a little more rock'n'rolly than the Sub Pop albums.

Art Garfunkel just got an alumni award here at Columbia U, where I work, and revealed that late one night he and Paul snuck a bunch of equipment into the campus chapel to record the "li la li's" segment at the end of The Boxer. I thought that was kind of cool pop music trivia.

Oh, neat!

Hey, it's easy: the Del Fuegos were actually good. And they're from Boston. And were mentioned in that Juliana Hatfield song. The band I confused them with at first were their contemporaries, the mentioned-by-Greg Del-Lords, who got really good press but to me were just another "ok they're rootsy but they ain't no Jason & the Scorchers" mid-'80s cowpunk outfit. Del Amitri, like Texas, are a bunch of Scots that have always sounded blandly American and have bored me to death. In fact, I'm sort of mortified to find out Momus is kin to Justin Currie.

Jason & The Scorchers did a smoking cover of Absolutely Sweet Marie. I want to see them in a triple bill with The Blasters and maybe X, or Social Distortion

I just discovered this week that I had Peter Hammill confused with Peter Himmelman (both of them have released albums called Skin, which increased my confusion). I'm still not sure if I got the right number of L's and M's in each surname. I bought a Peter Himmelman compilation in a used record store thinking I was getting a career overview of the prolific ex-Van der Graaf Generator singer who was once praised by John Lydon.
