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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I am going to see what seems like a very Buffista band, the Horrors
I keep meaning to check them out, and forgetting. They sound like something I'd be vastly entertained by.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I 'listened' (read: gave half an ear to them as I worked) to the songs they have up on their MySpace page, and the overwhelming impression I got was of a gothed-up, punked-out B-52's. That kind of sound.

Also?
It's easy to hear Swordfishtrombones as a fistfight between Kurt Weill and Nino Rota with xylophone keys flying out of the orchestra pit while Howlin' Wolf announces the bout.
LOVE.

Jeez, David, don't you know that you're supposed to write dull and lifeless prose? That's how you write about music you love!
I kid, natch. It's fantastic, and I'm very excited to read the rest.

Maybe I should note that the songs are awesome because Tom Waits is awesome?

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

Ha! I like the commenter who said "This would be really neat if you had a second wiimote set to control volume so you could do vibrato and swells."
And then there's this comment exchange:
zerolr(12 hours ago): the control was made for that song.. lol Great idea, is there anything the wiimote can't do?
IsThisInfected (3 hours ago): It can't find you a girlfriend.

Speaking of Theremin, I got my copy of The Sandanista Project yesterday. I only got around to listening to The Lothar's track, but it was fun.
