Could I get a ruling on this review of the Arcade Fire show last week?
I think there's a good review that captures the Arcade Fire live experience well, but it's been painted over with SQUEE FANGIRL!!! emulsion.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Who was it that wanted acoustic hip-hop songs, again? Because some random Australian (Richard Clapton? I know him not) covers "Gangsta's Paradise" on one of those Andrew Denton Music Challenge CDs* and I could upload it to buffistarawk if necessary.
It is slightly marred by giggling towards the end of the track.
- What? I bought it because I needed to hear The Wiggles do "It's A Long Way to the Top" and yes, it's just as you would think it would be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am listening to What's He Building in There, the Waits song, and it's such an odd little novelty and seems as if a person could get tired of it--yet, I never do. The BF and I will both say "What's he BUILDing in there?" when we see a scary looking building with dark windows.

Well, more rap covers by non-rappers, but acoustic hip-hop works too.

From the sounds of his Allmusic listing, he was very influential in Australian rock but had less than zero impact in the US, except in his collaborations with INXS (and producing Underneath the Colours).
Yeah, upload it. I'm finding these rap covers are really short, so I'm having trouble filling an 80 minute CD.

Heh. I was listening to one of the Waits tribute discs this morning - New Coat of Paint - and reveling in the macabre sensibility behind "Whistlin' Past The Graveyard" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Great version, incidentally. I wish he'd done a whole album of Waits songs.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I've been listening to more Tom Waits lately, since my iTunes seems to love him. iTunes also loves the Decemberists, who are my total new band crush.

I'm going to see Portastatic on 9/29 and New Pornographers on 9/30. Woot!

Always Anti-fascist!
They play Waits a lot on the Wire...I believe he did one of the theme versions...before that I knew his music as "that stuff your Dad likes" that my mother didn't. Not to be all "The Wire like carrots!" again.

That's his song, chica. The others are covers.
