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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I didn't know that about Chilton, but I recall one of my friends telling me he lives uptown the last time I was down there.
And thanks for the links, Joe. I've read a couple of those since I posted last on my blog, but haven't yet had the heart to add anything.

(smacks forehead) The Simpsons! D'oh. And it's even on topic because the music is totally the shit and does a great job of making an unreal world at least as real as ours. NE music was always weird, but really appropriate too, and very cool.(In my provincial, not-hip opinion) On The Wire, the music is sort of appropriately inappropriate, but they have played some really great blues and Irish music and like that, but mostly just stuff comes from the radio like it would so cops start stake-outs stuck with "Big Girls Don't Cry" or something stupid like that. There was a sad radio related scene once when one of the teen dealers didn't know about losing radio stations when you travel because he'd never been anywhere, but it was funny because instead of the Jam 107 or whatever in Balmer, he got Garrison Keillor on NPR which he hated and said "Philly radio is whack." Or NY, I forget.

C'mon, the use of the Pogues' "Body of an American" was one of the most appropriate uses of music on any tv show I've seen.

I'm partial to "The Beast In Me" on The Sopranos. Northern Exposure had some great, and unusual musical cues too.

Well, duh, Corwood. But that was a wake, right?(And a truly beautiful tribute to one of the creators that died.Sniff.) Not just day to day. And consider this an advance directive...I want that funeral. Complete with Bitches in corsets telling each other I was a giant pain in the ass. My actually being laid out in leather pants on the pool table can be left to bullshit consensus, okay, bunk? I'm sort of the Cole of the Bitches, I think. Comic relief...foil, you know, "Queen of the Dunkers" "The Beast in Me" was perfect, too, Hec.

OK, so planning my funeral in Music? Bad form. Good to know. I'm new around here, sort of. Still, don't skip the bagpipes.

No way. I wouldn't mind "Body of An American" played at my funeral, though I've been leaning towards another Pogues song, "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" in recent years.
Then maybe all the different takes of "Loose" off the Stooges box set played end to end.
