Buffistas

You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach

Closed Threads

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 am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

I would just like to posit that the death of the music industry is not necessarily a bad thing.

I had a conversation with a kid who said he worked for a Hollywood Video and that places like Netflix (which I love) are damaging actual movie rental stores. It's a matter of recognising a change in product delivery and then finding ways to adjust accordingly.

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

Right, I'd much rather have Netflix than bowdlerizing Blockbuster.

For the industry, having the artists turning more of a profit than the suits just makes sense.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Elvis Costello is playing at Hillary Clinton's 60th birthday party/fundraiser later this month: [link]

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

There's probably a joke to be made involving some Costello lyrics, but I'm too busy to think of one....

Anyone else downloaded the new Radiohead? I'm... underwhelmed.

Artist Steve McLaughlin compiled all the Beatles albums and compressed them to 1 hour. The end result takes you on a trip thats far surpasses the hallucigenity of the gay strawberry fields. Even better, one person recompressed several tracks...

eta: The compression was 800%, timewise....

Awesome. The compression is of the type that doesn't have a shift in pitch. Listening to one of the uncompressed tracks was fascinating, as you can hear what was lost when the thing was originally compres

I'm going to see the Fiery Furnaces tonight in Madison with my sister. I totally forgot to look for their new album so I could hear it before the show. So I grabbed it from the iTunes store this morning and am listening to it now.

So far it's... what you might expect from a new Fiery Furnaces album.
