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."
I'm listening to Next Brel which is a collection of Jacques Brel covers done in English by a variety of artists: Scott Walker, David Bowie, Marc Almond, Dusty Springfield, Divine Comedy, Dionne Warwick et al.
I'll probably always prefer the Scott Walker versions but this is an excellent introduction if you've never heard Brel's songs, which are distinctively dark, gritty, mordant, literate and achingly romantic.
They're sort of like...telling The Aristocrats joke in French, but with a great melody. Lyrics like "cute cute / but in a stupid ass way" and "I swear on the wet head / of my first case of gonnorhea" occur.
Musical Sidenote: Went to the new bar/restaurant Alembic (great name!) tonight and sampled their cocktails. Their musical mix ran through some good songs and "Blue Monday" came up. "Oh, is that New Order?" the woman next to me said. Her companion said, "No, no." Prat. Nothing is more New Order, eh?

The guy's probably only heard the Orgy cover that was all over the radio a few years back. Apart from a few harsh tones, it was pretty hard to tell from the original (thus rendering it completely unnecessary).

Art Crawl!!!
Oh, another commercial: The The's "This is the Day" in that commercial where people randomly turn into M&Ms.
Very odd.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
How would people classify Thea Gilmore's music? I have three albums of hers, all of which I downloaded from emusic. One is classified as rock, one as alternative, and one as country, so now I'm curious.

Folk, actually. In that same vein of folk rock as somebody like Billy Bragg, with some affinity to Ani.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
But I'd call Bragg alternative, just to confuse things.

That's how he was marketed, sure, but he's about as Bob Dylan folkie as it gets, right down to the Woody Guthrie adoration.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I found this website that tries to help gay Christians be straight. Some people think it's actually a parody. Anyway, here's a list of gay bands to watch out for.
One of the most dangerous ways homosexuality invades family life is through popular music. Parents should keep careful watch over their children's listening habits, especially in this Internet Age of MP3 piracy.
Some I've never heard of. Some must be straight bands with gay-positive lyrics? I dunno. Or maybe some are bands whos members are generally considered to be straight but there are rumors of gay trysts? (Like, say, The Rolling Stones?)
