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.

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

Plus, Powell's is having a "Buy 2 Get 1 Free" 33 1/3 Sale: [link]

I'm going to be one of the guest bloggers in that Powells series in the next couple weeks.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

According to David Barker's facebook, Haruki Murakami is translating the 33 1/3 Pet Sounds book into Japanese. That's just fucking awesome on so many levels.

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

In the future, they'll say of you, "He's Big in Japan."

I'll bet David's book is more his speed because there's an affinity between Tom Waits' subject matter and Murakami's novels, but I'll also bet that Murakami listens to the Beach Boys way more often than Tom Waits.

Art Crawl!!!

Well, it would be an opportunity for him to listen to Tom Waits.

I'm guessing from the Murakami books I've read that he listens to a) a shitload of jazz, b) a chunk of Western classical music, and c) a wee bit of classic 60s rock.

Until Murakami translates my book, I'll have to settle for one of my other dreams coming true. A band naming themselves after The Daisy Bang.
