I haven't, but we heard him talking about the trip on the radio and I would REALLY love to see it. Thanks for reminding me!

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
That Suzi Quatro sure plays a mean guitar.
No, I will never get tired of that joke.

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

I never noticed how much Rick Derringer looks like Suzi Quatro before. He's even her (tiny) height.
If I'm not mistaken that's dapper Dan Hartman on funky bass. He would go on to have some solo hits during the disco era.

Oh! Fiona, thanks for the Gomez recs. And I'd love to hear rarer stuff.

I'd swear I've joked on a few occasions that Leather Tuscadero was Rick Derringer's greatest performance next to "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo".
How's the book going? Ignore that if it's a bad question.

Jonathan Lethem says, "Hi!"
Actually I should have the book done by the end of this month.
So...I like it! I wrote the kind of book that I'd want to read.

So tapping my foot impatiently is an OK response?

Always Anti-fascist!
Wow, you talked to Jonathan Lethem? This is a total thread hijack, but I thought "Fortress of Solitude" and "Motherless Brooklyn" ruled. Actually FoS has all kinds of music in it(and some of my favorite kind) so it's only a partial hijack. Hec, whenever you are done, I promise I'll read it, however amateurishly, so I will stop thinking of Mr. Waits as the Guy My Dad Likes Who Wrote The Wire Theme Song(although, of course, I think that's awesome)

Okay my secret dream is that they ask my band to cover that for the last season. They haven't had a garage pop (or whatever we are) version of it yet! It's time, right?!?!
