I would love a copy!
I'm sure I had a tape of it at some point -- but by now it's probably disintigrated and I have no cassette player anyway.

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.

OK! Incidentally, the emails from Parks & Wildlife are from me. I was logged in under the wrong account at first.

I got a better description of the project this morning when I drove him to school. He needs the 10 selections on a CD with just a listing and short blurb on each. Then he needs to take one of them and create a complete "video" in a format of his choice. It can be his friends jumping around on video playing air guitar, flash animation, whatever. He'll probably do some combination. Betcha he picks one of the Rap songs.
He really appreciates all the suggestions, as do I. Guess I'll have to YouTube his video.

I love it when kids' projects are so fun for us. I rec a German rap group of the early 90s called Die Fantastischen Fier, who had a hit on MTV Europe at the time called "Die Da". ("Her there.") German is great for rap, since practically everything rhymes with something. This song was of the 'goofy white boys ogle girls' genre of rap. That's a rap genre, right?

SA included a lovely Europop song from Italy about Vespas in her last year's Frankenmix.
Hee! That was me, and I *love* that song; it's "50 Special" by Luna Pop. I can re-send it if you can't find it, Laura.
Lots of good suggestions from people (megan: yay, De Palmas!). Luaka Bop put out a cool compilation a few years ago called Cuisine Non-Stop: Introduction to the French Nouvelle Generation that I like a lot. I'll send Lo'Jo's "Baji Larabat" from that album to BR2. Also, not really obscure (at least, not to anyone keeping up with popular YouTube videos: [link] but I can send O-Zone's "Dragostea Din Tei" (from Moldova, I think) as well, if you want.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Just remembered another that may win coolness points. The Mammas, a vocal group of four women from four different Mediterranean countries -- one Spanish, one Italian, one Greek, and one French Algerian (IIRC). They recorded at least one album in the mid-'90s, with songs in several languages. "Amaria" in particular is a wonderful song sung in Italian -- with a great video if you can find it.
And seconding "Dragostea Din Tei," though Brendon may not appreciate boy bands.

I'll look for the selections noted above today and let you know if I can't find them. Looking forward to listening.

Er... Would you believe that Kate and SA look a lot alike?
::tapdances distractingly::
Has anyone ever seen them together?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Has anyone ever seen them together?
Come to think of it... Kate was staying at the Zmayhems last year, and then she left, and the very next night SA stayed there...
