Perfect Beach Boys song -- "I Can Hear Music."
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.
Willow ,'Empty Places'
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."
Perfect Beach Boys song -- "I Can Hear Music."
A Barry/Greenwich song too. One of the last things they wrote together, I think.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I made a Power Pop mix CD last year that had a lot of great stuff on it. I'll have to dig it out and see what's on there.
Right now I've been into goofy British pop, like Rachel Stevens, Amy Studt, Girls Aloud, and even the new Charlotte Church.
Wow. The college-aged music snob version of me would be so appalled!

Ah, this trip down amnesia lane made me wonder what's up with my college radio station, which went internet-only a year or two ago.
They're still going strong, and have a new streaming show: WOXY Vintage -- "Welcome to WOXY Vintage, the first new 24/7 streaming channel from WOXY.com dedicated to the history of Modern Rock, Alternative and Punk music. You'll hear nearly 30 years of adventurous, innovative and influential music from The Velvet Underground, The Clash, Talking Heads, The Smiths, Depeche Mode and much more. Consider it your Modern Rock primer."
Damn, I loved that station.

Ooh, that sounds great! A friend of mine at work listens to WOXY online almost every day. This one sounds like it's right up my alley.

I worked for my college station. I miss KWRS.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I love every Beach Boys song mentioned. Other glimpses at ineffable perfection: "Surfer Girl," "'Til I Die," "Add Some Music To Your Day," "You Still Believe In Me," and "Surf's Up."

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
even the new Charlotte Church.
"Crazy Chick" rocks all socks.

Always Anti-fascist!
(Feeling all validated being backed up by Corwood) And Dylan is right; I love "God Only Knows" but I don't think of it as the kind of song one drives down the road playing, and that is part of what makes Pop Perfect. High school: Nirvana and the Chili Peppers "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" I was still in the closet about the funk. What a waste(not the Cobain or RHCP...that such a primal preference ever felt embarrassing to me.)

More Perfect Pop: "Mendocino" by the Sir Douglas Quintet.
Where life's such a groove, you'll blow your mind in the morning. Yes, indeed. Did you say you have an emusic account? I think my favorite emusic download in the year or so I've had it is Doug Sahm's last album, The Return of Wayne Douglas. It's way more country than SDQ, but unmistakably Doug. Really warm, funny, big-hearted -- a fine way to go out, R.I.P. I don't like the Dylan cover, but other than that I like everything about it.
Corwood, my sister sent me a "save Frances Newton" petition. I'm anti-death penalty, but know nothing about the case & the petition is more than light on details. I gotta get outta here, but gimme a quick yea or nay on whether I should sign. Thanks.
