Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

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.

My condolences, Jon.

Good stuff, but it's mislabeled as being from 1958. It's from an April 1959 tv special called "The Sound of Miles Davis". If you have the Ashley Kahn Kind of Blue book he covers it on pages 126-130. It was taped about a month after the album.
From the sublime to the ridiculous (but very entertaining)...
I'd hate to be the roadie for these guys.
And The Shining as feel-good heart-tugger.

I was hoping that would bring you out of the woodworks. When I finish Phil Freeman's new book Running The Voodoo Down, I'm sending it to you post-haste.

I haven't had a nice meaty break up/parting of ways (no brackets needed, thanks though) in a while so I will take this opportunity to list some of my tried and true breaking up/parting ways songs many of which have absolutely nothing to do with breaking up or parting ways or dating for that matter:
oh! sweet nothin - velvet underground
say it ain't so - weezer (god i love this effing song)
police on my back - the clash (?? don't ask - i think it speaks to my commitment issues)
classic girl - jane's addiction
everything is everything - lauryn hill
red mosquito and corduroy - pearl jam (oh the unbelievable last verse of red mosquito which is just the lines "if i had known then/what i know now")
big boring wedding - guided by voices (this is about a wedding of all things but the chorus "pass the word/the chicks are back!" cheers me in an odd way)
anywhere's better than here - the replacements
happy - the wrens
stormy weather - the pixies
and the new 2005 addition:
since u been gone - kelly clarkson (a song i can't believe i was deprived of for so many break ups until now much like i can't believe i missed out on indian food for the first 22 years of my life)
That is actually not the whole list but - sleep is finally calling.

Since I'm hogging this thread today, I'll continue monologuing. Did I mention that I'm playing SXSW this year for the first time? I'm going to play bass in a friend-of-a-friend's (or is that friend's-of-a-friend?) band. The songs are ok in a Matthew Sweet sorta way, but I'm not that into them. Still, I'll have a band wristband for the first year ever!

That's why I'm out in the parking lot, smoking in my Trans Am.

Oh no, it's just like the regular music festival wristband, but a different color. A color that says: "Wanna copy of my demo?"

Always Anti-fascist!
My mother warned me about guys like that. Some of 'em burn out. Some become music critics.
