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.
Haven't watched this yet, but I will....

VH1 Classic is running a documentary about Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett. Very interesting.

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

On Bloomsday! I wonder if I can get a cheap last-minute ticket to NYC.

So, has anybody else heard the Giant Drag cover of Wicked Game? It's the cover being used for one of the ads for a new FX show. It's pretty awesome.
Tangentially what are people's favorite covers of favorite songs? Or even an instance where you liked the cover of a beloved song better? Or where a cover of a song you hated turned out to be fantastic?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I love Shawn Colvin's cover of "This Must Be the Place" and do not at all like the original Talking Heads version. Which is probably Not Allowed. But Colvin's is quiet and acoustic, and I find it much easier to appreciate the beautiful lyrics and melody.

Oh, not a new FX show - it's for Nip/Tuck.
I thought it sounded good and I heard it - saw the ad and guessed it was for Nip/Tuck before the title card came up. (It really suits the show.)

Ah! I wondered if it might be Nip/Tuck.
The cover of Wicked Game is stunning. It's a sort of raw, hard edge punk cover of the song, with minimal drums, a very crunchy, dirty guitar, and a female lead singer who can wail like a banshee. That version of it gives me chillls.
