What's the story behind this? I am super-amused.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Ha! Thanks, Tommy. Whenever I try and hum the theme for \"Cheers\", it comes out as the theme to \"Flaming Moe\'s\".
I\'ve mentioned that the Lothars recorded a Clash cover (\"The Call Up\") for a Sandinista tribute album that\'s coming out next month, right? We recently has a little scare. The producer of the project sent me an advance copy of the CD and our song was mastered AT THE WRONG SPEED! It ended up about 8% faster than what we recorded and submitted. I figured out that the mastering engineer he used must have input our song at 48khz instead of 44.1khz (two common bit rates used in digital recordings). It\'s the sort of error that a novice might make, but this engineer has a top notch resume.
Anyway, THANKFULLY, the CDs hadn\'t been manufactured yet (except for some advance copies for press and the bands involved). They were able to remaster the CD and it now sounds great. Whew!

Sandinista tribute album
This concept makes me unreasonably happy. Despite it being a sprawling mess, I absolutely adore Sandanista (that, London Calling and Black Market Clash were the albums my brother lent me that turned me into a Clash fan).
What are the details on this, Jon? I'd definitely be interested in getting a copy (probably two as I bet my brother would be interested).
ETA, if you mentioned it, I missed it. Let me search the thread.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
For a moment there I had the cognitive dissonance of thinking someone was writing a tribute concept album to political guerillas in central America.

Well, that describes the original about as much as anything does.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. I woulda' guessed it was the band that was fighting them on this - I was thinking it was a trademark (or similar) issue.
