Anyone heard of Pistol Valve? They're a pop group of Japanese women, with horns. Lots of horns. Catchy as fuck, and they have a great look: [link] [link] (YouTube videos.)
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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.

I'm really the only Beatles fan in the thread? Really?

In other news, Oxford American has asked me to pitch for their music issue.
I suggested Dan Hicks, The Memphis Goons and The Scruffs.
(Remember, it has to be a musician or band with some connection to the South.)

I love them but Paul is my least favorite Beatle.

Ringo's my favorite. Mostly for A Hard Day's Night (the movie, not the album). Otherwise I like the Beatles as the Beatles better than their individual parts. I think both John and Paul wrote their best songs when they were collaborating/competing with each other.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have problems with the Beatles. Largely that the oldies stations seem to obsess with them. For some year, I listened to stations that would limit themselves to one or two songs by any other '60s artist (a practice that, for many artists, should be considered almost criminal) but would gladly play any and every album cut from the Beatles.

This is reminding me of an email conversation I had with my friend Donna like five years ago (some of you met her during the LA F2F). She had asked me who my favorite Beatle was. I replied
I'm torn between George & John. I've always liked the underdog (George), but... y'know.... Tomorrow Never Knows....A few months later she sent me the following, which I am quoting verbatim because I don't think she'd mind and it still makes me smile whenever I think of it:
So i was talking to a friend of mine the other day about who our favorite beatles were etc ... (one of my favorite questions) and i told him what you had said -- well, i really love george, but there there's tomorrow never knows. my friend, Jay, continued to tell me a story about his bandmate (of the Punk Monkees) Dave.
Dave heard an interview with paul, and the subject of tomorrow never knows came up. Apparently, Paul said about it "oh, that was ALL Ringo". At the time, Dave had a big white beater of a car. He went out and got some spraypaint and painted across the whole side of the car IT WAS ALL RINGO
I'm really into ringo right now. I mean, he's not a contender for the favorite beatle ... but when i hear a drummer without any ringo in them, it makes me sad. ;)

I know a lot of girls say Davy, but my favorite is Peter.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I'm a little indifferent to the Fab Four. I mean, yes: great, brilliant, all that, but, y'know, ubiquitous. I'm even more indifferent to the Post-Fab Four's output.

Way cool! I didn't know Dan Hicks was a Southerner; I thought he was always a Californian.
