Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

allegedly failed a class taught by noted logic professor Dr. Katy Wu

Was she crazy? Was she high?

Of course if Becker's proofs were anything like his lyrics it's small wonder that he failed.

Yes, yes, and I agree.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

Sumi: African Thumb Piano. It's really hard to make one of those sound bad, and (speaking as the mother of a five-year-old boy who has a harmonica, recorder, tambourine, maracas, and a high-end child-size drum kit and who has been known to try to play them ALL AT ONCE) that's a sanity saver.

Unless you hate the child's parents, in which case: toy accordion. They never sound good and they break almost immediately (but not in a way that renders them silent).

Silence means security silence means approval

ROCKRGRL is this weekend in Seattle. Johnette Napolitano is the keynote speaker. Patti Smith is going to be honored (it being the 30th anniversary of Horses and all).

erinaceous - her grandparents gave her an accordian last Christmas. It's not a toy -- and was a little bit too much for her to deal with at the time.

Ooh, the kalimba looks like fun. Also, there was a translucent pink Yamaha recorder (on Amazon). She loves pink.

That running bit made me snerk as much as finding out that Ann's name is really Annabelle.

I second the kalimba idea. Easy to play, hard to knock out of tune, and much less annoying than some of cumbersome alternatives. And kalimbas are happy instruments. Even West African songs of suffering sound happy on a kalimba.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

I thought U2 in concert couldn't get any better than seeing them at Madison Square Garden in October. Then I saw them in Vegas Saturday night. I finally made it into the Ellipse and spent the concert going apeshit in the second row.

Even though that makes me kind of biased, this was the best show out of the 5 I've seen so far. Mary J Blige singing "One"! Brandon Flowers singing "In a Little While"! The very rare appearance of "Until the End of the World"! The return of "Mysterious Ways"! "Bad" as a closer, with the closing snippet of Patti's "People Got the Power"!

Oh, man. I doubt Portland is going to top that next month, but I'm really looking forward to finding out.
