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.

How is this? I've been meaning to go get it, but haven't had time yet.

Dunno yet. I downloaded them at 10pm, and it's five hours of music. I'll let you know once I get a good listen to it on the iPod.

I can say this: Erin McKeown does Laura Veirs' album better than Laura Veirs. Remember how I said they shared a producer (Tucker Martine) and that may explain why their new albums sound so much alike? McKeown is really starting to show some of her brilliance, even if only in flashes. She reminds me of the 24-year-old outfielder who's hitting .260 with some pop, and you keep thinking that maybe, just maybe, if he can keep improving in the offseason that he will be a superstar next year. What I'm trying to say is that McKeown could be poised for a breakout album next time out -- if she keeps improving.

And another entry on the Perfect Pop Song list just came up on the iPod: "Downtown Lights" by the Blue Nile.

I should make a list of Perfect Pop Songs.

The iPod just offered this one for the list: "Wake Up Boo!" by the Boo Radleys.

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

I should make a list of Perfect Pop Songs.

"Heavenly Pop Hit" by The Chills almost lives up to its title.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

It's just me.

Never thought I could feel so free.

Following the theme to William Katz's career (why do I know his name? Some things are just mysteries.):

  • Funkadelic - "Hit It and Quit It"
  • Jeff Mangum (solo) - "Oh Comely"
  • Link Wray - "Rumble"
  • Liliput - "Ain't You"
  • Piero Umiliani - "Mah-Na-Mah-Na"
  • Neutral Milk Hotel - "Song Against Sex"
  • The Fiery Furnaces - "One More Time" (Clash cover - actually, it blends the song itself and the dub version)

I think it's Katt, though.

Always Anti-fascist!

Of course, thanks to Seinfeld, I've mostly heard that lately as machine-music "Believe it or not/We're not home!" In a tangentially related topic, the more I hear the soul song "Money", the weirder it is that the first place I heard the opening bars was in a car commercial. Whoever pitched it didn't know that song at all because "mean, mean green" and women "selling their precious bodies" oughtn't to sell...Sportscars? ETA: When I was a kid, I watched that show a lot, Corwood. Oh, in relatively huge genre-busting news, "Deadwood" is on my watch list now. I thought you'd wanna know that.
