Anyone heard the new Yoko Ono album Yes, I'm a Witch? I just love the song "Toyboat." I bought that and a few other tracks from iTunes - so far I'm liking what I've heard....

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.

Sean, I've got it, and I'll try to put it up tonight. I'm kind of in media res with my ipod right now, but hopefully it will be available to me.
Also, it's one of my favorite pieces of music ever. I had no reference point for it before my friend H explained it was from a freakin' Tarantino movie. I was astonished.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Yes, I\'m a Witch is a cool album. A bunch of indie/alternative bands reworking Yoko\'s songs, but with Yoko providing the original tracks. The resulting songs are more than remixes; sometimes only Yoko\'s vocals remain from the original. My favorite is the Flaming Lips\' take on \"Cambridge 1969,\" originally on one of the early Lennon/Ono albums, but then I\'ve always favored the more extreme side of her oeuvre.

Is Joan Armatrading out? If so, when did she come out?

I'm listening to all four Sparklehorse albums on shuffle on my ipod today. It's that kind of day, overcast and full of bare loneliness and existential horror.

Mmm. I only know of Sparklehorse from their most recent album. Suggestions, Corwood?
In I-want-to-kick-something news, I think in this most recent inception of SA's ipod is a tool of the devil I have managed to lose about 500 songs. Sigh. Fucking sigh. I have no way of recovering them, because the only copy was on the ipod in the first place, and I have no idea what songs were lost. I guess I'll find out as I go along. Pain in the freaking ass.

My apologies, SA. I have nightmares about losing songs.
My favorite Sparklehorse is the first one, vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot, which is a creepy stew of alt-country and psychedelia with brilliant lyrics. I get diminishing returns on subsequent albums, but all of them have a handful of great songs and the rest are at least good.
