That would rule! And I could freak people out and say "I know them! No, we haven't met f2f yet. But I still know them." Not that I don't freak people out with my command of cornerspeak already, but... it never gets old. You feel me?
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

So, at Fiona's suggestion, I have purchased Gomez' Liquid Skin. Gomez is a fantabulous band for listening to on headphones, which is pretty much the primary method I use for listening to music these days. I got tired of having to replace my crappy $20 computer speakers every six months, and I wound up getting a pair of high quality studio cans for my sound tech work, and thanks to having a removable 1/4 inch plug that converts to a mini plug, I can just plug the cans into the back of the computer. It's now spoiled me for listening to music. Especially bands (like Gomez) that play with the stereo mix.
It feels like an easter egg that you find not by uncovering the secret hidden place in the product, but by choosing the correct method for using the product.

Dog is my co-pilot.
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?!?!
It's definitely time! DH and I are just catching up on The Wire. I can't believe we never saw it until now. Homicide is my all time favorite non-Joss show. And one of the few I have on DVD.

I vote SCS! But I don't have a vote. I've been rewatching The Wire, trolling for Wild Bunch references. I counted 4 in Season 1, all towards the end of the season. Just started S2, and there's one right there in the first episode. And MAN, I'd forgotten how S2 is where they really start to bring the funny, right from the start with Bodie and Lake Wobegon.

Glad you enjoyed them, Sean! I'll email you.

Me either, sadly! and I don't think I know anyone who does have a vote. But I can dream!

That's one of my favorite moments of the whole series ever.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Nobody ever gives love to the bassist. Hee.
No, really, that whole thing's a shame. It sucks how those issues tear bands apart over and over.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
One of the greatest drummers in jazz history, Max Roach, has died.
Did also note that Lee Hazlewood died?

Mine too. But it's sad too. Because Bodie's family never took him on a road trip so he could learn that radio stations change when you leave town.
