Huh. Gabrielle Drake - Nick Drake's sister - was in two Avengers episodes and tried out for both the Emma Peel and Tara King roles.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
My indie song of the day is the new Andrew Bird album. Yum, Bird.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
From the "Crap!" files:
There's been a bit of format shuffling on some local stations. A station that was formerly all classical music got bought and changed format to classic rock plus Redskin games.Some sort of deal was made where WETA, which has been airing NPR and other syndicated shows is going all classical, all the time. The part that makes me say "Crap!" is that "Traditions", a folk music show that runs on Saturday nights has been dumped after this weekend. "Traditions" is the only place around here where you can hear modern folk music along with more old-timey stuff.
Sigh...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The whole thing sounds odd. WFMU's blog had a post about it: [link]
This week in DC, a radio dust up knocks WGMS off the air, ending 60 years of Bach and Beethoven. The new kid on the dial is "Radio George" taking control of 104 fm and spinning nothing but the hits of "the 70s, 80s, and whatever we want." Radio George©R is one of those hip new-fangled stations built on the premise that "its all about the music" i.e. no DeeJays. according to this Washington Post piece (link) the station kicked off with Cheryl Crow and a promise: "one minute you'll flash back to high school, then college, then you're chasing the kids" !!!
The Bach people, however, refuse to stay down - in an unprecedented move they have taken over WETA, a public radio station that has been airing Public Affairs content for 2 years now. This meant that staffers showed up to work only to be greeted by the security guards with summons to go see HR.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
but when too many people are bogarting the stream it buffers like a mofo.
I want to send this clause back to 1973 and have it compared to Linear B.
What's your indie rock song of the day?
Don't Blame Your Daughter - The Cardigans

Y'know, I don't know if I have anything that can be defined as indie rock in my collection. What sorts of things are we calling indie rock?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
That is, as always, a great question with a highly subjective answer.

Been traveling to NYC and back over the last day, so I'm a little late on this but...
Really? Ok, maybe he is an ass. I've never heard him speak.
Do I need to tell the story again about how Christgau dissed the Lothars at a CMJ music panel without ever even having heard us?
My indie rock song of the day appears to be (and I say this despite the inevitable mocking I will receive from Hec) Mission of Burma's "2wice". I was listening to my filled-to-the-brim 60GB iPod for about an hour during my train ride home today, and that song came up .... wait for it... 2wice!

Apparently so! I have no memory of hearing or reading this story.
