The last time they performed at a Donkey Show the audience was captivated.

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.
