Hey, I don't think I went after your basket, symbolically or otherwise.(There was that dream that time, but I digress.) But I did not think about the other book. My bad...another slow morning.
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.
Hey there, Musicarinos!
What is something obscure yet obtainable I could get for a fifteen year old who's room is covered in pictures of Sid, Nancy, and Johnny Rotten for Christmas?
Sid and Nancy probably isn't obscure enough, but does s/he have a copy of The Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle?
Yo, Trudy, what's your spending range?
Sorry, Corwood. My post looks kind of puffed up and asshole-ish on review. I'm just crossing my fingers like everybody else.
Not at all! I didn't take any of this out of your post. I'm just trying to keep my hopes realistic. With my relative lack of credentials, all I have to offer is my narrative idea and, of course, my personality and charm. Neither of which really come through in my pitch, now that I re-read it (and this assumes that they don't just exist in my head). Oh well.
Yo, Trudy, what's your spending range?
Um... if something is awesome I have siblings who will go in on it with me so short of putting her up for a week at the Chelsea I don't really have one.
Trudy - can you do a quick scan of their CD collection to see what they've got? I would recommend a P.i.L (Johnny Rotten/Lydon's post-Pistols, L.A.-based band) album. My favorites are Second Edition, Happy? and 9.
But if they are a super huge Johnny Rotten fan, they already have all of those probably.
What about the farewell drugs?!?
(sorry)
I once read an interesting book on the Sex Pistols. I forget what it was called, but it was a popular book back in the '90s.

England's Dreaming by Jon Savage?

Yeah, that was it.

She may not! I shall have someone snoop.
I wonder what Amazon's returns policy is...
