Spike ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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'm fairly sure I'll need assistance to do this. It may take some time.
No rush, whenever you get a chance I'll be grateful. Do you have the songs copied to your computer already? If so, then just send an email with one or two songs attached as files to buffistarawk at gmail.
Is stuff from the first EP on there? Join My Gang? 10-5-60? And She Rides? Those were my favorites.
Yep. I expect something will come back out in print now that the price has gone shooting up. Maybe some little label like Not Lame or Yep Roc will license it.
When I get a chance this afternoon I'll throw some Long Ryders up on buffistarawk so people can sample. Here's the track listing:
10-5-60 And She Rides Born To Believe In You You Don't Know What's Right, You Don't Know What's Wrong Join My Gang Final Wild Son Ivory Tower Still Get By Run Dusty Run (Sweet) Mental Revenge Fair Game Too Close To The Light I Had A Dream I'll Get Out Somehow Masters Of War I Can't Hide Lights Of Downtown Mason-Dixon Line Capturing The Flag Years Long Ago Looking For Lewis And Clark State Of My Union Two Kinds Of Love If I Were A Bramble And You Were A Rose Christmas In New Zealand Basic Black Pushin' Uphill He Can Hear His Brother Calling 17 Ways He's Got Himself A Young Girl (And He Can't Keep Up) Gunslinger Man I Want You Bad A Stitch In Time Baby's In Toyland Harriet Tubman's Gonna Carry Me Home The Light Gets In The Way Spectacular Fall Flak Jacket Ring Bells Prisoners Of Rock 'n' Roll (Live)
The iPod is playing "The Final Fight" by Rob Duncan from the Radio Sunnydale Buffy soundtrack. Every time I listen to this and try to identify it before looking at the screen, I can't decide whether it's the POTC soundtrack or the LOTR soundtrack--certain bits sound so exactly like certain bits from those two scores. Weird.
My iPod is giving me Sonic Youth covering the Fall's "My New House" on my very favorite Peel Session.
Hey, Joe, I don't know if I told you that I downloaded Sonny Rollins' G-Man, which is truly righteous. Thanks for the tip!
I read a review of Ray Davies song "Thanksgiving Day" in Rolling Stone last night -- has the song actually been released yet? Have you guys heard it?
I'm thinking it would be fun to have it around for holiday themed mixes.
Can anyone recommend their favorite sitar albums, especially Ravi Shankar? My nephew has recently acquired a sitar and is really getting into the music (he saw a local performer here in NJ a few weeks ago), but has no albums as yet. (He's a great musician--plays drums, guitar [bass, acoustic, and electric], mandolin, violin, piano, and now sitar, and he's only 15!)
I've started posting some jazz vocals on Buffistarawk for Fay, but you're all welcome to sample them. These aren't ooo bop scoodly wop scat songs, but jazzed up standards, or songs written by jazz singers and lyricists. They're all very cool and groovy - mostly 50s, though some 40s and early 60s too.
Look for Jazzy Fay posts in the inbox and you'll find my favorite version of "Skylark" and the deep groove of "See Line Woman" and the heplitude of "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid." All guaranteed to freshen your breath and set your soul right.

I've never heard this, but it's got to be great! -- [link]
There's this, which is certainly good for a laugh, if nothing else.
I've got one of the tracks, which I could upload to buffistarawk, if someone were to give me the password.
