The Eye of the Tiger entry has made me burst out laughing at my desk.
'Selfless'
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.
That, my friends, is why I have terrible taste.
Or possibly AWESOME taste!!
Or possibly AWESOME taste!!
No, no. bon had it right.
runs away, fingers in ears
stands by bon with love.
Hey tommyrot -- Looks like the Magnetic Fields are hitting flyover country after all: [link]
Oh goody!
I went to see The Magnetic Fields a few years ago. Stephen Merritt had food poisoning and could barely stand up, and it was still one of the best gigs I've been to.
My favorite Magnetic Fields moment was many years ago, when they were still playing tiny clubs. Merritt lit a cigarette while singing in mid-lyric.

Somehow that seems appropriate, as if Merritt ought to be in discomfort to achieve Magnetic Fields perfection.
I saw Merritt do a solo set at Amoeba and he was great. Just him and an acoustic guitar. (Which was lucky it wasn't being played by Steve Earle.)
