There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

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.

Awesome Carpenters video!

We are observing your earth... and we'd like to make... a contact... with you... baby.

Oddly, I can't think of this song without hearing the Langley Schools version in my head.

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

Now playing: The Carpenters tribute album If I Were a Carpenter (it came out in the mid-'90s). So far it's really holding up. The standout track is Sonic Youth's "Superstar." The lyrics of that song are kinda' creepy, and they take the creepy and run with it....

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

The Shonen Knife track is really awesome, too.

Yeah. My sister loved that song (the original). When she was about two or three, we would play the song for her and she'd climb on top of a chair ("top of the world") and dance and sing along....

eta: And Sheryl Crow's "Solitaire" is good too. The Carpenters really wrote some melancholy songs....

Now I'm wondering what reactions I'd get if I wore that on the train....

Ooooh. Of course, all I'd probably do with it is build a shrine around it. But still! Ziggy Stardust costume!

If that was a weekend date, I might've considered it...
