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.

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.

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...

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?

He's certaily trebly. But he doesn't sound anxious.
I'm thinking of The Embarassment, the Individuals...

Early Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson? More recently, maybe the Hold Steady and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah?
