I lurve my NPR podcasts and All Songs is one of my favorites of them.
Mr. Meloy is quite the charmer. We also did an audiance only sing-a-long with the "I Love New York..." part of Myla Goldberg.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And I am now listening to The Decembrists in Jon B's honor. Perhaps I will sing along here in my office.

Oh, come now. I hate to be the guy to defend him, but Christgau's not an ass and not deserving of this invective. He's just plain wrong sometimes, as people often are. Dave Marsh, Jon Landau, Jan Wenner: those guys are ass.

on the podcasts I have listened to with him, he talks over everyone and cuts people off even when they are directly asked a question by the host.

Really? Ok, maybe he is an ass. I've never heard him speak.

I still like Christgau.
A belated happy birthday, msbelle. (It is sometime in mid-January, isn't it?)
But I'm really here because I just sent something to B'Rawk2. Can't remember if sent it before, but... think anyone around here might be interested in a Go Home Productions mashup of the Velvet Underground ("I'm Waiting for the Man" and "The Gift") and the Archies ("Sugar Sugar")?

Me and Lester Bangs!
The VU's "There She Goes" mashed up with Marvin Gaye's "Hitchhike" would be a gimme.

Does anyone have Need Your Love So Bad by Little Willie John? In my foolishness I left my much-loved mix of the Wonder Boys and Rushmore soundtracks, and have been suddenly desirous of hearing it again, but there's no torrents for either soundtrack. I've found everything off the WB soundtrack except that song, and I'm going to wait to start hunting for the stuff on Rushmore because there's twenty tracks. But combine them together and you have some of the best driving music.
By the by, "Cocksucker's Blues" is one of my all-time favorite RS songs. I put it on when I'm feeling cheeky. And the Fratellis are biggish here--I think I've got a couple of tracks of theirs that I could stick up on BR, if you like. Did we get a new BR? I lost the plot there.
Also! The Decemberists are coming to Manchester on the 5th, and if my stars align properly I *might* just be able to afford seeing them.

I've got a Little Willie John collection at home. I'll check.

Yes, but I'm still at work & don't have it here. Will try to remember to send it when I get home. Great song with nice work by Mickey "Guitar" Baker. I think LWJ was about 17 when he recorded it.
