Been listening to some Adrian Belew lately. I saw the Bears this past week at Music Mill. It was great to see them again after several years. Adrian Belew and Rob Fetters are simply amazing together, not only as guitar wizards, but also as songwriters and vocalists. I don't have their new cd yet, Eureka!, but listening to The Bears and Car Caught Fire this week has been fun.
Mavis Staples - We'll Never Turn Back
Mose Allison - Sings
Reverend Charlie Jackson - God's Got It
The Dils - Class War (Not sure how I missed this for so long. Really good.)
The Go-Betweens - 16 Lovers Lane (see commentary for the Dils above???)
Los Super Seven - Canto
Small Faces - From the Beginning (All or Nothing enters my top 20 all-time songlist...for now. Also has Baby, Dont You Do It and Watcha Gonna Do About It)
Kaiser Chiefs - Yours Truly, Angry Mob (Luna had this cranked up one day while I was in there and couldn't help but buy it. I'm still listening...)
The Ponys - Lights Out
Low - Drums and Guns
Jesse Malin - Glitter in the Gutter
Dinosaur Jr - Beyond
Unknown Instructors - The Master's Voice (Imagine SST circa 1987. Got it? Ok, then you'll love this one. It sounds like a Sacharinne Trust lp to me. Complete with Pettibone cover. But get this line up: Mike Watt, George Hurley, Joe Baiza, David Thomas (Pere Ubu), and Dan Mcguire. Joseph Bennet would give this two thumbs up and a big smile.)

Prom + Sausage Gravy = Melancholy Blog post
This morning I fixed breakfast for Adrian, his prom date Liz, and another couple. I have to admit, I made a skillet of my Grandma Cantrell's sausage gravy! It was perfect. Even Amy thought it was good, she just tasted it. Gravy is not her thing..
The school year is quickly coming to a close. Adrian graduates May 28. He is going to Indiana State in the fall. Between that, he is going to Great Britain for 2 weeks with Ryan and Jimmy. They are planning to go all the way up to Inverness in Scotland and back to London. Should be a great way to end their high school years and start the next phase of their lives.
Katie is swimming in Ann Arbor, MI next weekend in the age group regionals for synchro. A top 3 finish will get them into nationals which is close to home this year, Oxford, OH. It will be alot of swimming between now and the end of June for Miss Katie. Then right after nationals, Katie is leaving for Koriyama Japan for 12 days. A group of teenagers from our church are going there this summer to help with a summer camp and provide conversational english with Japanese nationals. Katie is so excited. What a summer for the kids?!?!?
Amy and I are just going to take it easy. We are going to fly out to Berkely in July to see BJ and Susannah at Calshakes. Then BJ & I are going to drive back with a van load of their belongings. Road trip....
