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.

I have a great live cover of "Let My Love Open The Door" by Rilo Kiley. Gorgeous backup vocals and a spiffy trumpet solo.

I hereby encourage you to send this to buffistarawk so that we all may share in its gorgeous spiffyness.

Gladly. Now, where is this buffistarawk at?

...I hate to say "where's it at?" but in this case there is a literal "at" so I'll let it slide.

I say "where's it at?" with startling regularity. But, then again, I'm from redneck stock.

I'm listening to my wife's iPod, which she forgot to take to work today. Check out the last 10 songs:

  • Toots and the Maytals - "Pressure Drop"
  • The Go-Betweens - "Cattle and Cane (live)"

My wife = rocks like an avalanche

No wonder she likes the Raydio Schmaydio mixed tapes - she's got ears.

All that and modest too, huh?

I'm the most modest cocksucker you ever saw!

Though, I meant "ears" in the jazz sense of somebody with open ears or eclectic taste. And the Schmaydio mixes are very eclectic.

I've noticed, babe. Whenever I've put mine on, my mother has said "Your friend Hec's a little strange, huh?" The Christmas tape helped her feel the love, and I'm fairly certain the soul mix will earn you a shrine.

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

This might be my favorite one because of the opening 1-2 punch. (Though Jon referred to Ken Nordine as "that bad poet.") This one has the following recurring motifs: Musicals, Monkeys, Poetry, Black on White/White on Black and Faux Bands.
