'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
I vote SCS! But I don't have a vote.
Me either, sadly! and I don't think I know anyone who does have a vote. But I can dream!
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.
That's one of my favorite moments of the whole series ever.

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.
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.
I did note that Hazlewood died, but not here.
That would suck if he died here in the thread.
(Sorry.)
It would beat a damn Stairmaster, though.
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.
Speaking of headphone albums, do you have Mercury Rev's Deserter Songs?
Four albums in and Mercury Rev remain as surprising and daring as ever -- exchanging the volcanic noise and twisted sensibilities of earlier releases for ornate arrangements and ethereal strings, Deserter's Songs unlocks the beauty always hidden just below the band's surface, its lush harmonics and soothing textures bathing in an almost unearthly light. Standouts including the exquisitely waltz-like "Tonite It Shows" and the celestial "Endlessly" are like lullabies, their music-box melodies gentle and narcotic; even the most pop-oriented moments like "Opus 40" and "Hudson Line" share a symphonic, candy-colored majesty far removed from conventional rock idioms. Complete with its fractured instrumental interludes and odd effects, Deserter's Songs sounds like no other album -- for that matter, it doesn't even sound like Mercury Rev, yet there's no mistaking the record's brilliance for anyone else. - AMG review
No! Curse you, wee Hecubus! Our budget just got put on a tight leash!
