Wasn't that one of the answers in that blasted Funny Farm puzzle?

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."
From another blog:
"Dancing Barefoot," a Patti Smith cover, features a rare lead vocal by Brenda Sauter. I probably saw the feelies live over a dozen times, and I can't recall a single instance of Brenda getting anywhere near a microphone. She seemed content to keep in the background with her bass, but her sweet, monochromatic voice is quite effective on this cut. I prefer this version to the Smith original. Brenda later overcame her mic-shy ways in Wild Carnation, a band she formed with her husband Richard Barnes after the feelies demise.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, can someone find me a copy of the Urban Guerrillas album "Attack of the Pink Heat-Seeking Moisture Missles"? They were a Mpls band from the mid-'80s. I thought they were on Twin/Tone but I don't see them mentioned on the Twin/Tone site.
I'd look some more myself but I have, like, work I should do. And I tried once a few years ago to find this but failed.

Art Crawl!!!
What is Bill Million up to nowadays?
One of my favorite things about seeing the Feelies live (the one time I got to see them) was the way after each song they'd immediately stoop down and tune their guitars.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
lisah, it might possibly be too folky, but John Gorka has a song called "Prom Night In Pigtown" that is simultaneously ridiculous and heartbreaking. It might make a good "send the last party stragglers drifting off just as dawn breaks" song.

Huh. That's about as odd a career change for rock musician as tugboat captain or maybe professor of English.

That sounds great, actually! I wonder if it's about the Pigtown that is a B'more neighborhood?
