I keep meaning to petiton Rhino to rerelease "Urrgh! A Music War"
She's not just a blob of energy, she's also a 14-year-old hormone bomb.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
just caused much laughing by explaining to the kiddies in the office that back in my college days I was all hip-hop all time in my 40" jeans and baseball hats and door knocker earrings. I proceeded to sing some Kanye West and that produced more laughter. THESE KIDS!
Tell 'em about your Dream Warriors hat.

Silence means security silence means approval
Wow, dw, I totally feel you on that. Call it a medical expense and take it off your taxes. :)
Heh. What I'd rather have is my insurance cover it. :)

Always Anti-fascist!
That could work., if there was a vitamin S. Or you could call it a new anti-depressant.

Here's the Rhino Girl Group Box Set
Hmph. Apparently they couldn't license any of the Phil Spector stuff with The Ronettes or The Crystals which makes the whole thing dubious. A girl group box set without "Be My Baby"? Why bother? No "My Boyfriend's Back," No "Please, Mr. Postman"? No "He's So Fine" No "Da Doo Ron Ron"?
They do have some cool oddball tracks like "Nightmare" by The Whyte Boots and "Funnel of Love" by Wanda Jackson but I don't even consider that to be in the girl group category, nor songs by Dolly Parton or Irma Thomas (though I love them both). They do have some demos by Ellie Greenwich and Carol King, but still, this is a not even close to a definitive collection, and veers wildly from accepted notions of what constitutes a Girl Group.

Not qualified to make this judgement so I'll just say "What Hec Said" because hello?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
That site is awesome, David. I just watched BIlly Bragg's Sexuality, which I haven't seen in AGES.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Okay, I uploaded "Around the Way Girl" Travis Morrison stylee, to buffistarawk.
And here's a place that has a link embedded in it to his cover of Ludacris's "What's Your Fantasy." [link]

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Y'know that 33 1/3 series of books? Aspiring writers take note:
A few days early, but what the heck...If you're interested in writing a book for the series, for publication in Spring 07 or Autumn 07, you've got between now and October 31st to email me (david@continuum-books.com). No need to write up a proposal yet - just very briefly tell me who you are and what you might be interested in writing about, and I'll add you to the list. Everyone on that list will then receive an Invitation to Pitch (with guidelines on how to do so) in early November, and with any luck we'll be able to sign up 7 or 8 of the best proposals, for publication in 2007.
And not to come across all Cher or anything, but these may well end up being the very last books in the series, so let's hope they're good'uns.
