These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

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.

Thanks, Nice Lady!

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

Here's the Tom Waits on VH-1's Storytellers show (which has never been officially released)

Memphis Minnie's "Pigmeat on the Line."

Memphis Minnie's "Pigmeat on the Line."

Oh yeah, there are a bunch of pickled pigfeet type songs in the blues catalog. Bessie Smith has one, I know.

Also the blues singer Pigmeat Markham.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Jon saw all the shows.

It ain\'t past tense for me! Although I\'m going to see Mission of Burma there next weekend, and Sebadoh at the end of March, so maybe there is some sort of temporal anomaly going on...

::stifles yawn::

Dude, when are you not seeing a Mission of Burma show?

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

So aside from the Feelies and early Talking Heads, what bands would you put in the nervous, jittery, nerdy and angular category? (It's a new category. I just made it up.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bo Diddley?

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

Bo Diddley?

He's certaily trebly. But he doesn't sound anxious.

I'm thinking of The Embarassment, the Individuals...

You know - pretty much 80% of what's in Jon's record collection. t /Lucy Van Pelt
