Xander ,'Chosen'
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.
Latest iTunes download: Dark Stars EP from White Magic. "Shine On Heaven" is especially nice.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Saw the New Pornographers last night and damn were they good. I'd seen them a few times before, but they really had it together. I've been trying to analyze what it was that appealed so much. Here's three things:
- Neko Case! Yes, she was there. I don't know if she's doing the whole tour or just select shows, but she was in fine form. When she's not with them, Katheryn the keyboardist sings her parts. With both of them on hand they were able to do some amazing harmonies, or else "doubletrack" some of the vocals to good effect.
- Dan Bejar!! Yes, he was there! I didn't think he ever toured with them anymore. He meandered onto the stage to sing his handful of songs scattered throughout the set, occasionally hid off to the side playing a xylophone or shaker, and otherwise wandered back to the dressing room. Anyone know if he's doing the whole tour, or if Boston just got lucky?
- A really well-paced set. They managed to mix rockers with mid-tempo tunes and ballads, Dan's songs with Carl's & Neko's (or ones that she sings anyway), and never have it feel draggy. A solid 80 minutes.

Anyone heard the band Under Byen? Their album Samme Stof Som Stof (available on eMusic) has some cool theremin on it. "Siamesisk" is especially good.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just want to remind people that I have two different Halloween mixes up, one on Buf1 and one on Buf2.
They're both kickass so you you should nab them if you don't have them.
One is Toil & Trouble and the other is...Halloween 07? Something like that.
