Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

Closed Threads

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.

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.

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.

Sweet. And sweet also is msbelle's 10 days of iPoddy goodness.

Wow, dw, I totally feel you on that. Call it a medical expense and take it off your taxes. :)
