Buffistas

They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

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.

Up with the sun

Travis Morrison's "Around the Way Girl"

He also covered "What's Your Fantasy," which I believe is a Ludacris song. It's hysterically filthy. (I once saw a Travis solo show where he did nothing but covers of songs about sex. Oh, and his song about saving endangered species. It was special.)

Anyhow, I have "What's Your Fantasy" and can upload it to buffistarawk tonight if so desired.

P.S. Is it even a question that "Sargeant Pepper's" is the most overrated album ever? For recent stuff, I'm not sure, but I'm tempted to nominate the Shins or The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. But that might just be stuff I don't get.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

They haven't released it yet, as far as I know. I'm waiting for them to release their cover of "Baby Got Back".

In two words, speaking of non-rap covers of rap songs: Richard Cheese. He's done this one, and probably a couple others I can't think of at the moment. Laugh your ass off.

Of course, none of that is as cool as Bob Mould's stint as a writer for WCW wrestling.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This one makes me a little sad, though...

I was surprised so see Miki from Lush working in the TV listings dept of IPC.

Chris Mars from The Replacements probably makes more money now as a painter than Paul Westerberg does on 'Mats royalties.

Time to open your open radio station.

I just saw that Rhino is planning a large Girl Group box with cool/fancy packaging (like an old fashioned hat box) and extras. I'll be curious to see what they'll include that I don't have.

Always Anti-fascist!

My mom thinks you have everything ever recorded. Compared to us, this is so, but I now have three versions of "Mustang Sally."

Silence means security silence means approval

Every year for Non-Religious Winter Celebration Spending Of Capital I beg for the Rhino 70's soul box (the one that looks like 8-track tapes). Every year, I don't get it.

Sigh.
