I noted that the critic who uncovered the hoax with his iTunes was also affiliated with Gramophone.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In commemoration of Jon's birthday, I'm eating sliders right now!
Happy Birthday Jon!

Sad, sad news from Kansas.
Kirk Rundstrom of Split Lip Rayfield died this morning in Wichita after living twice as long as doctors had predicted.
He was an amazing guitar player, and I am grateful I saw him play so many times and got to meet him and tell him so.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's sad, but it sounds like he had a fucking awesome farewell tour. That's about as close to a Viking death as a musician can get, unless you have a heart attack on stage at the Apollo.

Totally, Hec. He just kept going and going. I saw SLR twice here in Chicago on the 'farewell' tour and the crowd went hoarse screaming for Kirk. He knew he was loved.
It is sad because he was so young and had such young children, but he is a perfect example of living life to its fullest doing exactly what you love.

I'm sorry to hear that he lost his battle with cancer. But I think y'all are right about living his life to the fullest.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
Death is always sad, especially when age has nothing to do with it. But yeah, sounds like a hell of a farewell tour, really awsome to manage to go through something like that. Death just fucks things up too much.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Emmett's been on an AC/DC kick lately. Fueled in part by a visit to my friend Alex who has all their records on CD.
Our recent conversation on the subject:
Emmett: Who do you think is the most rock and roll person of all?
Me: Well, I'd have to go with Iggy.
Emmett: I'd say Angus Young. He's just a rock and roll maniac.
Me: That he is. He's definitely a worthy contender for the title. Hey, did you know there's a song called "Iggy and Angus"?
Emmett: Really?
Me: Yep. By a group called Sloan. It's a great song. I've got it - we can put it on your iPod.
[sings] "Iggy's cool / and Angus Rules."
Emmett:
[singing to himself]
"Iggy's cool / and Angus Rules..."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If Emmett is, in fact, about to rock, tell him we salute him.
