JAQ�S NOTES:
Happy Happy New Year Pups! I have been remiss in the past couple of months by not sharing one of my recent favorite sites with you all, �There Stands The Glass�. This site is the brainchild of a dear friend of mine who, in my opinion, possesses more knowledge when it comes to music than anyone I know. He goes by the moniker �Happy In A Bag� and this site he has created provides musical insight unlike most any I have visited. I will draw a few words from the site to begin describing what it�s all about. �This site is designed to increase sales of overlooked and forgotten music. It also showcases music yet to be discovered. Recordings currently in Amazon.com�s top 20,000 music sellers will not be posted here, and all music will come from my collection.� And one hell of a collection it is. Current albums included and highlighted on the site are R.L. Burnside �Death Bell Blues� and an old favorite of mine Soul Asylum �And The Horse They Rode In On�. He lists his favorite MP3 Blogs, favorite music links and his 2005 Top Ten which includes The National �Alligator� (once again I lag behind and I am just getting into this band), White Stripes �Get Behind Me Satan� (I do dig it!), and Bettye LaVette �I�ve Got My Own Hell to Raise� (one of the best live performances I had the privilege to see in 2005).
Happy In a Bag, my friend, I have been thoroughly enjoying your words of musical wisdom and I am sorry it has taken me so long to share my love of your site with our Sad Dog readers. Everyone BE SAFE THIS WEEKEND! http://therestandstheglass.blogspot.com/

DI�S NOTES:
Back to the grind after a very festive holiday season and things were just a little slow this week. So for amusement I hopped online to find a little distraction. I was met with a very disheartening headline, �Carey Takes Lead for Best Selling Album of 2005�. Things just aren�t right in the world when that�s the top headline and for me it is about as bad as any of the natural disasters we�ve read about so much this year. The marketing machine aside, is the world�s taste for music that bad? I just don�t get it. Granted I have never once listened to a Mariah Carey record. The way she hits that high octave range sounds like nails on a chalk board to me no better than screeching as far as I�m concerned. Hoping for some insight into how this could happen I continued to read and learned that she is now tied for No. 2, with Elvis no less, for most No. 1 hits. If she approaches the Beatles lead seat we�ll surely know the apocalypse has arrived. The shadow of it has surely appeared. It�s been a mission of ours here at Sad Dog HQ not to waste space or your time on things we hate so excuse my indiscretion. I only do this in hopes that you pups run out buy music of quality and spread the word for the betterment of humanity and our collective future litters.

JAQ & DI�S NOTES:
Hey Pups! The following list may look a bit familiar, as well it should. A few weeks ago we put out the following list of local gems for your Holiday Gift List. As Di is home for the holidays and I am up to my neck in wrapping and bows getting ready for the weekend, time for writing is limited. If any of you are like me, you are counting down your minutes of shopping left before the big gift-giving day. So, I thought is might be helpful to remind you of all the local goodies out there just waiting to find a home a stocking. Obviously, it is a bit late to make an online purchase. However, you can head down to Recycled Sounds at the intersection of Westport Road and Main, as they make a habit of keeping most local releases in stock.
Support your local musicians and have a very Happy and Safe Holiday!

JAQ�S NOTES:
Hey Pups! I have to be brief this week as I was up much too early for work�then I was treated to a day at the spa. Ahhhh, I love the holidays. Today I have gone from 5am, alert and focused, to complete relaxation by 2pm. After the facial and massage (around 4pm) I discovered a burst of energy, which at the present time (around 8pm), has dramatically plummeted. So, I leave you this cold winter eve as I reach for my newest Netflix arrival �Lucero: Bright Stars on Lonesome Nights�, the documentary of these southern indie rockers on the road and in the studio. I will give you a complete report next week in Sad Dog.
I�ve decided that Netflix should be an official sponsor of Sad Dog. Anyone have connections?

DI�S NOTES:
Tis the season for�..well, apparently to be sick and/or too busy to get out and catch any live music. And here I go again, headed out of town, with a lousy cold in tow for some family holiday time. I�m going to miss the match of the season tomorrow night a Mike�s with Mods vs. Rockers. I�m typically too diplomatic to put in writing on which side I would fall but hell, GO ROCKERS!! That is the true root of all that is good is it not? Okay maybe not but on this night I have a feeling the Mods may be in over their head collective heads. I�m sure you�ll put up a good fight Seaside Riot and Lust-r-Tones I do dig your sounds and on more than one occasion the Lust-r-Tones have had me shakin� my grove thing. But a head to head match against Shotgun Idols and The Ramalamas will likely see the fashionable ones leaving with their ties between their legs. I�ll expect a full report and photos upon my return. And if one of you fine swanky pups wouldn�t mind pickin� me up one of those special CDs I certainly would appreciate it. You all behave yourselves and don�t let this little bout go mano y mano.

Frosty Paws

Woke up this morning, blues around my head
No need to ask the reason why
Went to the kitchen and lit a cigarette
Blew my worries to the sky
� John Lennon

Today Yoko Ono sat in meditation at her Dakota apartment in New York City, candles lit in the window to show her support to the fans congregated outside to remember John Lennon, as today marked the 25th Anniversary of his tragic death. Lennon�s fans traditionally observe a moment of silence at 10:50 PM, the moment Lennon was shot 25 years ago outside the Dakota Apartment building. In that moment someone lost her love, children lost their father and the world lost one of the prolific and loved musicians of all time. Lennon, one of four musicians who made up a little band called the Beatles, was committed to pacifism and wrote what may be �the� anthem for peace, his song �Imagine�. I am sure there were many conversations today of where you were when you heard the news of Lennon�s death. Millions heard the news from Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football, when against the wishes of the network, he interrupted his play by play of the game to make the announcement. Wherever you were or whomever you were with, for true music fans the moment will forever be etched in our brains.
Today, due to snow delays, or perhaps lack of motivation due to the cold and snow, I found myself driving to work around the 10:00AM hour and tuned into KKFI. Mike Murphy was on air and I believe the program was �Your Midday Medley�. He dedicated the show to John Lennon, playing not only Lennon tunes but Lennon tunes covered by other artists as well. By the time I rolled into the parking garage at work the car radio was blasting and after finding a parking spot I spent a few moments listening, singing out loud and missing a man I only new through song.

RELEASES:
The Gaslights �Lines and Wires�: 12 Tracks of Prairie Rock
Last Saturday night we headed out to Davey�s Uptown and were met by a packed house all to support KC�s Americana Rock favs, The Gaslights, and get our paws on a copy of this new release. As always it proved to be one whiskey filled eve and no one could stop groovin� to the new tunes. This release couldn�t have come at a better time, as their first release �Midwest Hotel� became a quick fav and one now well worn. As expected, this sophomore release shells out all of the goodies of the first and then some.
www.thegaslights.com

JAQ�S NOTES:
A friend of mine, thanks Kirk, turned me on to www.pandora.com, which is currently blowing my mind. On this site you can essentially create your own radio stations. Pandora describes itself as a �music discovery service designed to help you find and enjoy music that you�ll love�powered by the Music Genome Project, the most comprehensive analysis of music ever undertaken�. I will let you head to the site and read up on the Music Genome Project yourself. The way it works: you create a new station by picking a band, I picked Uncle Tupelo. From that band music is selected based on the MGP and it begins to play tunes from various artists. From Uncle Tupelo my station played Bruce Cockburn, Calexico, Belle & Sebastion and Richard Thompson. It was going great until it slipped in Sister Hazel. But here�s the kicker. Once it selects a song that you don�t like, you go to the �Guide Us� button where you can select �I don�t like this song� and it will adjust the station playlist as often as you like. The great thing about Pandora is that the songlist available is very extensive, and as your station plays, you have the opportunity to discover loads of new artists you have never heard before. If you like the new artist, you can immediately link to I-Tunes or Amazon and make a purchase. I know, a little dangerous, but a ton of fun. You can create an account for free, which allows you to listen to unlimited streaming, maintain up to 100 stations at a time and access your stations from any computer. The catch seems to be that you have the option to pay a certain fee per year (around $36.00) to not receive advertising. So far it is a young company and we haven�t discovered where the advertisements would pose much of an annoyance. However, we anticipate that they will need to garner funds from somewhere, and eventually the advertising will be such that you will want to pay to not have the interruption. In any case, it is a fun site and well worth spending some time poking around.

DI�S NOTES:
Well my friends�if you think you are feelin� the chill this week, our friend Diana is spending a few days in St. Paul, MN for work. We will all have to buy her a nip of holiday cheer to warm her up when she returns. As always, she is missed when away but will be back from the frosty North and back with us next week in Sad Dog.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 3
The Gaslights �Lines and Wires� CD Release, with Vago (Omaha, NE) and the return of Slimm Spins @ DAVEY�S UPTOWN
It�s like that feeling the first time you go to see a friend�s band, you hope you�ll dig it and not have to rally some expression like, �you�ve got potential� or crush them with brutal honesty. Such is that anticipation with the coming of one of your favorite band�s sophomore release. As much as you know they got it in �em you know the potential is there to leave you yearning for something that lives up to the first time. The Gaslights done good, and prove that they own �twang and roll�. We here at SAD DOG HQ were lucky enough to get our paws on an early copy just days ago. Capturing all the heart their songs possess while still carrying some mass market appeal � in all the very good ways � the kind that break a classic. Capturing visions from the road in �Lines and Wires�, chasing ambition in �A Place to Fall�, and the most rousing of their live songs �Gods, Guns and Glory� makes you want to kick as much diplomatic ass as seeing it live�.only this time you can do it again, again, and again. Tonight The Gaslights �Lines and Wires� hits the streets and they�re marking the event with a party at Davey�s Uptown, a most fitting and likely only venue for such an occasion. Do yourself a favor�find yourself at Davey�s bellied up to Mokie�s backroom bar, order up a whiskey, make your way to stage front, take a look to your right, and you will likely see a Sad Dog face rockin� out right along with you. Let�s enjoy the show. And most importantly, don�t leave without a of copy of �Lines and Wires� for your collection. -di

Here at Sad Dog HQ we receive many emails from venues, promoters, friends and other avenues so we can get the most up-to-date info to forward on to you with as much heads up as possible under UPCOMING SHOWS. This one however, has flown way under the radar until just this week. We�ll be doing our darndest to catch �em before we head over to Davey�s for The Gaslights release.

Battle of The One Man Band 8pm @ THE BRICK
There he goes again, making us look bad with his wealth of ingenuity and motivation. The one man wreckin� machine, Mr. John Ferguson, aka The Black Glove, aka Johnny Catfish, aka Toine, the brain child behind Band Scramble, the philanthropist, and the one who still has time to rock-it in Bacon Shoe, Federation of Horsepower, and to keep his lovely bride Megan happy. He partners with The Brick again in yet another effort to bring creativity to the masses. His last endeavor, Band Scramble mixed up musicians from the drawing of a hat to create new bands, new songs, some of which still perform today. Such is Anvil Chorus and the recently dispersed Silver Shore (both Pitch Best-Of nominees). This time around he�s challenged the brave to create 15 minutes of original material in solo capacity with the instrumentation they so choose. With few rules:
No cover material, no material sequenced ahead of time and it must be the work of only one performer. The competition was fierce the last time he rallied such a challenge and the talk went on for weeks. Put this one on your docket for next week. And, stay tuned for details regarding Band Scramble III.
