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.

Right. I didn't know if that was the case or not so I can backtrack and see.
For what it's worth my top five of '06 were, in no particular order:
Dar Williams - My Better Self. The Paper Chase - Now You Are One Of Us. The Dresden Dolls - Yes, Virginia. The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls In America. And cheatingly
The Cardigans - Super Extra Gravity
Mine would be M. Ward, Chris Thile, The Hold Steady, Christina Aguilera (hush!), and Neko Case.
Ask me again, and I'd probably change some of those...

The Police are going on tour.
They have no dates scheduled in Los Angeles yet.
The information I have dug up online leads me to believe that single crappy seat tickets will be about $250-300.
I'm having difficulty telling what the best site online to buy tickets for this, and that I will be able to afford to go.
These things are all making me very broken.
