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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's the illustration that makes Tom's link worthwhile.

Yes. You can tell that it is a good invention, worthy of a patent, by the way the guy in the illustration is rocking so successfully.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

He even has the openmouthed look of a man screaming "YEEEEEEOW! HELLO CLEVELAND!"

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

New issue of Bust (the love issue with Gwen Stefani on the cover) has an interview with Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon. They reveal that their daughter Coco has been raised on Buffy, Gilmore Girls and Freaks and Geeks.

How old is Coco? Was she born around '94?

If that's the case then she is (or is soon to be) a teenager.

I feel old.

Seeing as how I couldn't give less a shit about the Super Bowl, I just saw Prince's halftime performance today, which was, well, not what I usually think of when I think of Super Bowl halftime shows. Instead of Celine Dion singing the works of Toto or whatever they usually have, Prince played a 15 minute melody consisting entirely of fractured songs and incendiary guitar solos. DAMN.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yeah, Prince's guitar playing was outstanding. Still, I was expecting more funk to be brought, and he did not bring it.

I agree. Not much funk, but a not-so-subtle reminder that the man is a national treasure, anyway.

Yeah, the dude can play. I was really enjoying the riffs he was playing during the Best of You section. The Symbol guitar sounded like a string got knocked a little out of tune before it got handed to him, though. They even took it down in the main mix towards the end, though he was still blazing away.

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

Susie J. Horgan strolled into a Hagen-Dazs shop in Washington D.C. in 1980 and asked for a job.

A few days later she came to work with her new 35mm Konica and started shooting pictures of her smiling boss and his shy best friend.

Her boss at Hagen-Dazs? Future punk-rock legend and Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins, then 19. Also working at the shop was 18-year-old Ian MacKaye, who would play bass for Minor Threat and co-found Fugazi and, later, Dischord Records.
