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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey, David: Michaelangelo Matos compares The Clientele to the Auteurs in this review. Figured you'd like that.

I'm going to get that album! When I have money again. Which won't happen until the book is done. Damn. There are many things that need to be bought.

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

I'm leaning towards fucking excellent, based on Cryptograms.

I downloaded their EP (based on a song I heard on WFMU) and then I just had to have Cryptograms right away too. So at this point I'd have to raise my rating to fucking awesome.

Stupid consumer goods! They should be freer.

I'm sending two Clientele tracks and a Deerhunter track to Buffistarawk2 for those interested.

Did I mention that I'm seeing Jonathan Coulton on Friday? 'Cause I am.

Of the Deerhunter I have, I think I like their ep Fluorescent Grey more than their album Cryptograms. It's more up-tempo and catchy. Only four songs, so $3.96 on iTunes (also available on eMusic).

Bo Diddley has stroke while performing in concert, in hospital.

Damn, sorry to hear that. I'm not entirely suprised, except maybe that he was still performing. I saw him over a decade ago, and he was older than God then.

Ann, that's a ferret.

According to the article, he's 78. I can only hope to reach 78 in good enough shape to perform on stage.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Damn. I love Bo.

Then again I'm kind of surprised he's gotten as far as 78.

Just hate to think of him helpless after a stroke.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

You know, for a second I thought you meant the Face of Bo, and had some cognitive dissonance there. ::facepalm::
