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.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

I want to include Surfer Rosa but don't know if it fits.
I'd say Doolittle, myself, on account of Kurt Cobain openly admitted they were ripping off that album when they put out Nevermind, and look how many people imitated them.

Studio wizardry:

  • Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
  • Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
  • Actually, although it's not necessarily a change for the better, anything made with ProTools is using the studio in new and odd ways.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Question: what musicians are similar to, or in the same vein as, Rasputina?

Not my field of expertise since I only know the Angel theme song, but the Dirty Three are all-instrumental and led by a violin-wielding madman.

Angel theme song is Darling Violetta I thought? Dirty Three is Australian dudes who did that Fishtank album with Low, yes?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Onion articles often peter out after the first paragraph or so, but this one keep up the yucks throughout:

Ah, you're absolutely right. On both counts.

Always Anti-fascist!

Cool. Hec, your mix helped create a perfect moment...I just called the homophobic ratfucker that"represents me" in Congress and "America" was on in the background. David Simon may be a true genius, but in this he was wrong. Sometimes life does too play the perfect song. America, I still love you./In spite of all your troubles and woes

(And awful disgusting proposed budgets that try to take food from kids. And crap like that. Does it make them feel all manly?) Oh, dang(Pushes soapbox away) How did this get in here?

Did you call him a ratfucker on the phone? You should do that more often.

No, I've yet to actually call him a ratfucker. I thought about it in a letter once but couldn't decide if it should have a hyphen or not...which is kind of a stereotyped Buffista quandary as I think about it, but I have thought he was one since he came on so strongly about "defending" marriage...and you won't be happy till I've gone full-on coprologic, will you? Although I can't say being courteous improves things much.Suddenly reminded of What About Bob imitating Tourette's to prove he hasn't got it.
