joe, thanks for the Prine/DeMent link. Some friends of ours had the lyrics to In Spite of Ourselves printed on their wedding program.
Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you here looking at me like I owe him something? Jayne: Wishing I could, Captain.

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."
Oh, Jilli, I think you need to see this.

Oh! Look at them all! Man, I miss having a real goth scene.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Another one for Jilli, rare Lene Lovich doing "Mata Hari" onstage. Very cupcake goth.
Also? Nina Hagen doing "Ziggy Stardust"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm having one of those "somene else has heard of her???" moments.
My brother's friend picked up a record (all in German) in the import section because it had a cool cover. Her cover of White Punks on Dope has been a party fixture since then.

In this thread, you can be assured that "someone else" has heard of pretty much anyone you can imagine. Except the Fire Engines.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Y'know, I don't know if I mentioned it, but I was surprised when I figured out that the Fire Engines were one of the non-Mekons/non-Gang of Four bands on the Fast Product compilation from 1979. Which means I've had some of their songs in my collection forever, but just didn't realize it.
And hey! Dig the Stereolab clip.
