Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

Closed Threads

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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Fantastic!

Here's a few category suggestions:

  • Soundtrack to your morning commute. Must be instrumental or, at least, wordless.
  • Evokes (implicitly or explicitly) one of your favorite passages from one of your favorite books.
  • Cross-genre cover song (such as a rap song covered by a country artist).
  • Political but not preachy
  • Quotes another song, either in the music or words
  • Makes you want to get high, drunk, or, if it's your druthers, dizzy & giddy from spinning around in circles.
  • Features a great bridge.

Features a great bridge.

Musically, or literally?

That's between you & your god.

Has anyone seen the bridge? Has anyone seen the bridge?

Where's that confounded bridge, anyway?

Here are mine/the ones I like from C.I.'s liner notes:

• Song from an album that you denounced as crap before ever hearing but now like
• A song with an exclamation point in the title
• A song from the top 25 on the Play Count list on your iPod
• A song released the year you turned 21 (you didn't have to know about it then necessarily)
• A song dedicated to your nemesis (or who you imagine your nemesis to be)
• A song by an artist introduced to you by an ex that you can still listen to without wanting to punch things or throw up
• A song you first knew only from seeing its video
• A really great song from a mediocre band
• A song about committing a crime
• A song from a tribute or charity album
• A song about kissing
• A good song that is on almost any jukebox in almost any bar
• A song with a year in the title
• A song about traveling
• A song that references another song by the same artist

ETA:

I like these a lot:

• Quotes another song, either in the music or words
• Makes you want to get high, drunk...
• Features a great bridge

ETA the second. A few more of my own:

• A song you think you sing really well
• Your favorite song to play air guitar to
• A song that does not feature a guitar or a piano as the main instrument

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

Board-related categories would be cool, too, like:

  • A song that makes you think of BTVS that was never used on the show.
  • A song by a band you found through the Buffistas.
  • A song by a band that you could have, but didn't, write about for Lost in The Grooves.

Other suggestions:

  • An upbeat song about a sad thing.
  • Midnight driving in the rain music.
  • A song about buildings and/or food.

I have my cross-genre cover picked out already, not that I want that to influence Corwood *g*

hip deep in pie

I would like to add

  • More cowbell: A song containing that essential instrument (and maybe this is played out since iTunes did their list, but I have the perfect song!)
  • Words to music: a song that was originally, or quotes heavily, a literary work. (Example: One of Many by Vic Chesnutt. Lyrics are a Stevie Smith Poem)
  • A song you cannot not dance to.

Excellent categories!

Hey, I had you in mind when I wrote it. And where's msbelle? Does she know about this?

This cracked me right up.

Will we settle on a final list of categories, or will we just pick from the vast lists being provided now?
