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!
How oddly mysterious! The parts where they deviate from the melody are clearly referencing something but who knows what that something could be?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Nice article, Jon!
Q. Maybe if they made you an offer you couldn't refuse?
A. Well, it's hard to refuse an offer you can't refuse.
Hee.

Thanks, P-C. As I said in Natter, I was very happy that quote made it in.

I like the MIT=geek cred quote.
Hey, what song is it again that the Lothars do on the Sandanista tribute album again, Jon?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
So, I get back from the F2F, which involved two days of driving from Atlanta to Salem, MA. I unload, unwind, and decide to try to regain a sense of normalcy by going to Beer Works for a late dinner and a peruse of the Globe (among some other periodicals), when who should show up in the arts page...
Thanks for putting a mighty surreal capper to my F2F weekend Jon. I laughed so loud when I realized what I was reading that I got very odd looks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Boston-centric Punk video archive (late '70s - early '80s)
Here's a video archive of about 40-odd vintage punk (and post-punk, power pop, and new wave, and I don't want to argue about it) music performances. Most of them appear to have been taped between 1979 and 1983, in fine old dive bars in and around Boston. Link, link 2. Bands both famous and obscure: Buzzcocks, Clash, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Specials, Mission of Burma, Gang of Four, Dead Kennedys, Stranglers, Stiff Little Fingers, XTC...
Have not looked at this yet....
