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.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

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.

"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)

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.

"Theme from 'The Greatest American Hero'" is now inseperable in my brain from George's answering machine on Seinfeld.
Piero Umiliani - "Mah-Na-Mah-Na"At the ballgame Friday night the Cake version of this song comes on. Great-grandmother in the row in front of us looks up at me and says, "Muppets?" I nod. She's overjoyed, being that she doesn't know 99% of the stuff the play at Safeco.
And then I went and completely bombed on music trivia. It was some rap-dance song from 1995 I'd never heard before in my life by some one-named artist. I can excuse myself if it's some rap-dance song from 2002, but 1995 I should know.
