Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But also (of course) "Transmission."

I love the Low cover of "Transmission."

Thanks for the Deerhoof heads-up, Tom.

I haven't heard this since 1976, I think. I'm surprised at how well I remember it (I've been earwormed with it before I went out and found this mp3).

A memorably scary psychedelic public service announcement was also produced in the 1970s featuring the theme song, becoming a pop-culture icon unto itself for a number of generations.

Awesome homemade video: TMBG Puppets in “Ana Ng”

Vancouver artist Mizushima Hine created a wonderful stop-motion video of the classic They Might Be Giants song “Ana Ng”.

Siouxsie and Budgie divorced?! How did I not find out about this earlier? I'm ... wow. I'm actually shook up by this.

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

I wondered what was behind the new solo album instead of a Creatures record.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Not only did they divorce, but Siouxsie came out as a lesbian! My GF was all over that news.

Oh my.

So was she 'bi' before, or is this totally new?

I'm pretty sure she was bi.

I haven't been able to find confirmation of that part, just a lot of second-hand blog postings.

When I told Pete about this, the first words out of his mouth were "No, you cannot have Budgie".
