Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hiya!

Um, Joe pointed me to this thread from the Procedurals, 'cause I was looking for a particular song used in an episode of Life from last night (which, incidentally, is kinda killing me with its awesome use of music.) It's a cover of Richard Thompson's "Shoot Out the Lights" by X, which comes from what looks like a fairly obscure Richard Thompson tribute album from the '90s (the album's titled Beat the Retreat.) I suppose I could buy the album, which is available through Amazon market place as a used album, but I figure I'd try it here first to see if anyone has it for sharing.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Yay! Thank you so much. Um, I don't have access to Buffistarawk. Maybe I should rectify that. Who do I go for that, btw? Or I could email you, Corwood, if that's easier.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

BTW, Jilli? Have you gotten the Siouxisie solo album yet? Because it's good. Really, REALLY good. I played a few times on my way to Maine and back for Ritual Sacrafice w/Pie festivities in Maine.

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

Country Music and Suicide

Country music is hypothesized to nurture a suicidal mood through its concerns with problems common in the suicidal population, such as marital discord, alcohol abuse, and alienation from work. The results of a multiple regression analysis of 49 metropolitan areas show that the greater the airtime devoted to country music, the greater the white suicide rate. The effect is independent of divorce, southernness, poverty, and gun availability. The existence of a country music subculture is thought to reinforce the link between country music and suicide. Our model explains 51% of the variance in urban white suicide rates."

Philip Glass video made for Sesame Street in 1977: [link]

A blog sez:

According to the Muppet Wiki, "these works very closely resemble the "Dance" numbers written during the same time period as (Glass's) Einstein on the Beach opera."

I'd agree with that. Also, the person who made the video must have studied geometry....
