I would LOVE to read your pitch, Hec.
Check your inbox, missy.
I'm going to try to post some things at Buffistarawk this weekend. Some mashups I'd promised, the Long Ryders, and maybe the anti-xmas mix for the first week in December.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!
I'll read it, if you don't mind stupid questions or something. Which I thought you might, possibly. Hence the silence. Just because, when it comes to your kind of music discourse, I'm a bit Special. Short bus to the blues bar, or something.

Lots of let-your-pitch-get-picked-ma for both you and Corwood.
Gracias!

Au contraire.

I saw The Sadies (Neko Case used to be their backup singer). I wasn't familiar with them at all, but I really enjoyed the show.
The Sadies once showered in my apartment! They would have crashed there, except for my roomate at the time. But that was ages ago, adn I think Dallas Good is the only member that's still the same.

You're too kind, Corwood.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. The very cool Stephinsources website which traces Stephin Merritt's musical influences, finally gets down to Bubblegum, and our book even gets a nice mention.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
From the same site:
***********
Chickfactor: Are you a participant in the goth scene of New York?
Merritt: So much so that I wrote the book on it.
I can imagine Merritt delivering that line with a sly smirk, but indeed, Merritt is a goth at heart. In a Chickfactor interview with Claudia Gonson, when asked if Merritt and she were new wavers together back when they were teens, Gonson responded, "Yeah, we were goths." Browse through Merritt's songbook and you'll find lots of over-the-top, depressing lyrics with plentiful references to suicide, vampires, and death. And, he has an entire band, the Gothic Archies, devoted to mixing gloom and doom with bubblegum pop. Their official site states: What makes this band different from The Magnetic Fields is that any glimmer of hope is absolutely extinguished.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
Good luck, Hec and Corwood.

Heh. The friend I went with used to DJ a show they played on at our college radio station (KJHK at the University of Kansas, the show was called Route 66) and they had crashed and showered at his apartment.
Dallas Good is the only member that's still the same.
If his brother was still in the band then, then there is one more that is still the same because they are both still members.
I am so tired of this 2005 mix that I am thinking about chucking the whole thing and starting over w/ a batch of new songs. It's just a mix, tina, CHILL.
But right now I'm listening to Michele's Mountain Goats mix AIFG.

I just did a quick buffistarawk check:
erin - I have no idea who that song is by either (but I guess we know it's not the squirrel nut zippers).
joe - aaahhhh! I love that moose bit. I've had bits and pieces of Woody's stand up on tape that I haven't listened to in years. I need to pick up that CD.
