'Serenity'


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 think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

That's a good one, alright.

Also almost Merrittless Merritt. The guy sings like he's raising the dead in a Hammer film.

If celebrity deaths always happen in three's than maybe we are done for a while. CNN is reporting that Lou Rawls has died.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, I can only say that I'm glad that I wasn't the one who posted that.

(on edit: because I've been feeling like a black cloud or something.)

Nice! And very cool that they highlighted several buffista-written sidebars.

I am currently listening to Jon's Best of 2005 Breakfast of Champions podcast (which aired 12/30). I highly recommend. First - you get to hear Jon being all proud of how organized he is for the four-hour show. Hee. Second, it's four hours of Best-of-the-Year goodness. Anyone who has gotten a Best of Mix from Jon in the past knows this is not to be missed. I especially love it because it gives me a million ideas for new stuff to download/buy. (So far this morning I've downloaded The Earlies.)

Anyhoo - if you don't listen to BoC regularly this is a good one to download.

I think I'll download Jon's BoC as my inaugural podcast on the new iPod. That'll break it in good and proper.

hip deep in pie

Aren't Jon's podcasts just streaming shows? Because I can never get them to transfer to my iPod? Is it just me?

Awww, thanks Tina!

I am all about pimping the BoC podcast - I have turned a few non-blinvisible friends on to it as well.

the new iPod

I didn't know you got an iPod, Hec!

Tell tell - how many GBs?? It is the new fancy video one? I watched a Beck video on a friend's the other day and was frankly blown right the fuck away buy how good the picture quality was. Not that I'm not happy with my non-video playing iPod. IJS.
