I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

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.

ack! I'm all nervous now. Performance anxiety about doing a good mix for people who really no something about music.

And I can't think of ANY songs with cowbell!

Or with years in the title! (Oh. I just thought of one.)

Anyway, I've finally been ripping a bunch of my cds today in anticipation of this. I got my computer last summer but I'm a slow poke.

And I feel kind of stupid for asking this but what is the definition of this?

A song by a band that you could have, but didn't, write about for Lost in The Grooves.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Well, "Lost in the Grooves" is the name of Hec's second book, about a certain framework of albums and songs. So it's kind of directed at him.

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

Well, "Lost in the Grooves" is the name of Hec's second book, about a certain framework of albums and songs. So it's kind of directed at him.

And the theme of the book was roughly: Underappreciated albums.

oh I know that, of course!

I just don't personally know what would make an album underappreciated. I understand the criteria. I'm just not that familiar with music crit.

That's okay. I'll fake like I know and just slip in a song I like. Then play dumb if anybody questions me. It'll be easy!

I love the categories but... (there's always something to criticize...) 19 and 22 are kind of the same thing, no?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Not really. "Big old jet airliner" references technology, but not science.

I may be leaving this one blank:

A song that you would sing to yourself if you were ever in a dire situation and needed it to keep going

I damn well wouldn't sing (or whistle) in a situation like that.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

These look great! I'm psyched for this. Though it looks like I'll have to do some googling for the cowbell one, since I can't think of anything I own that actually has cowbell.

You don't own "Honky Tonk Women"?
