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.
So now I need to buy one or more of their albums. Anyone know a good place to start?
I love Bela Fleck! Like a lot! I have a lot of their albums because I love them! Er. I really like "Hidden Land," which is the most recent album with the Flecktones, and "Live at the Quick" is an excellent live album. of the earlier work, I do like their self-titled album and the "Tales from an Acoustic Planet" duo. Hey, I think I'm going to go listen to them right now.
Duran Duran is on LiveEarth right now.

I love the test drive!
I do like their self-titled album and the "Tales from an Acoustic Planet" duo.
Obviously, track 12 of Tales From an Acoustic Planet is a must have.
Huh. So the Cure are releasing a new studio album in October. And going on tour. I have no idea if the album will be good, but you'd better believe I'm going to go see them.
Sweet!
I emailed the photographer who did the original Swordfishtrombones cover and he just sent me the contact sheets for the original shoot! So cool.
I'm trying to talk my editor into using one previously unpublished pic for each chapter (14 in all).
We'll see if the money's there. At the very least I'll get one shot for the interior.
So at the last minute, the evil capitalist bad-people decided to be nice to us:
The basic gist is that web radio is saved. SoundExchange promised in front of Congress Thursday that they will NOT collect the disastrous new royalty rates from webcasters, and the two parties will negotiate new rates going forward, without webcasters being driven offline on Monday, when the royalties were due. Yay!

Another Tom Waits video: [link]
For "Starving in the Belly of a Whale." It was an graduation project animation. Bonus points for musically-inclined monkey.
eta: No music, but the classic scene with Tom Waits in Fishing With John. [link] I'd describe it, but I don't want to spoil folks who haven't seen it.
