Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

'First Date'


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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's no use even trying to stump you, is it?

I'm stumpable in all kinds of areas where you have the greater expertise from current African music to 90s folk.

Still, I'm willing to bet most other people here haven't heard it.

And they need to rectify that! As it is a very cheering song with none of the sticky sweet overfamiliarity that other holiday songs can produce.

Xmas gift for the White Stripes fan in your life:

Gotta love the sellers note: "I have been taking a break from zombies, albeit a brief one."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Damn you. Now I'm thinking about my doorbell again.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Um, I thought the Zombies broke up. Right around "Time of the Season."

True, but they reformed briefly after "Time of the Season" became a hit. Then they all played on Colin Blunstone's first solo album One Year which I highly recommend to Zombies fans, and also Nick Drake fans as it has a similar vibe, though a bit poppier.

Always Anti-fascist!

Thanks for the earworm for "Time of The Season" y'all. Like my life isn't hard enough.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You could always Hold Your Head Up, Woman.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Sufjan Stevens's Christmas albums: [link]

Haven't listened yet, can't vouch for 'em, but hey, Sufjan Stevens, if you like that sort of thing, give it a whirl.

Also, some non-musical self-promotion: [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.

OK, how about Archie Bell and the Drells? There's a choice of "Tighten Up" or "I Can't Stop Dancing."
