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 good to be the king.

I'll put it up with my personal favorite Christmas original of the last 15 years, "And To All A Good Night" by 5 Chinese Brothers.

Hec, I've been meaning to say - I love the Wintergrace mix - thanks so much for putting it up at buffistarawk. I am getting together with some southern KS/Winfield friends over my Christmas vacation and it will be perr-fect. I especially love the David Grissman.

I will post my Best o' 05 mix after the holidays (and once I am posting from my brand new ubercool powerbook - happy christmas to me!!). I am am already responsible for two people buying Devin Davis and everyone I've sent it to loving M. Ward. Go me.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I did my annual Xmas radio show this morning and used a few of Hec's powerpop selections. Playlist is here. Podcast is here.

Sweet! "Mods of Christmastown"? I need that. And I didn't know the Chills had a xmas song.

Ha! You know how I "found" those two songs? I created a smart playlist in iTunes for songs pegged as "Holiday" genre, or songs or album names with Christmas in them.Those particular two songs surprised me as well!

The Chills song appeared on the "Secret Box" 3 CD collection of outtakes and live tunes that Martin released a few years ago.

The Zumpano song was on the CD included with Ptolemaic Terrascope #25.

I can get both up onto Buffistarawk, maybe this evening.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's gotta be tough, no doubt, but doing interviews about how tough it is while trying to get famous strikes me as... disingenuous?
