the maid needs a maid
In other Emily news, her show is GA but seated. Admittedly, the seated aspect is probably a good idea, as I doubt anyone would want to stand for an hour of down tempo piano songs. But on that note, I doubt anyone would want to stand around for an hour outside the Commodore in January to secure decent seats. I think I'll just be content sitting in the back and showing up after the doors have opened.
In other "I would like to be a rockstar" news, the BBC is looking for the "World's Best Young Band". You've got to be under-18 and unsigned, which restricts the talent pool a bit, but maybe they'll stumble upon the next Be Your Own Pet.
I have a terrible headache, so that's all you're going to get out of me right now.
Oh... except a thank you to Aaron for answering my Nelly Furtado related query, despite his disagreement.

Or rather, Emily Haines needs someone to open her show here (and everywhere else).
Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton are looking for inspired solo artists to open dates on her upcoming North American tour. If you think you've got what it takes (and have listened to Emily's new record Knives Don't Have Your Back and draw inspiration from artists like Elliot Smith, John Lennon, etc.) send us your contact info and myspace/website links to: softskeleton@lastgangrecords.com. Submissions deadline is November 7, 2006.Contrary to various rumours I have heard, she is very personable, so don't be shy budding singer/songwriters!

Totally unrelated to anything in your lastest entry, but maybe of interest to your readers: Robyn Hitchcock (probably with the Venus 3) at the Red Room November 26th. The Venus 3 includes Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck. This is listed on the Red Room website, but no further information.
