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.

The Magnetic Fields have their entire new album available for streaming on myspace: [link]
Quoting Stephin Merritt:
"I wanted to make a record of three-minute pop songs, then they turned into three-minute power-pop songs," Merritt explains. "The previous Magnetic Fields record had been self-consciously soft rock, with all the songs starting with the letter 'i.' The idea here was to make this record quickly and use the same instrumentation on every song. And if I had to use the same instrumentation all the time, what would I want it to sound like? Well, like the first Jesus and Mary Chain album! So I attempted to adapt the sound of Psychocandy to the orch-pop reality of the Magnetic Fields, where we have a pianist and a cellist. And the occasional accordionist."

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

Awesome! More stuff should sound like the first Jesus and Mary Chain album....

Why is it that whenever I feel stressed out, Glass's Einstein on the Beach always relaxes me? I don't even listen to EotB that often, as I have to be in the mood to listen to it. And the mood apparently is stressed out.
The version I have on CD was recorded in 1993. I think I like the version I have on LP (which I bought in '85) better, so I think I'll buy that on CD as well....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Did you read my earlier knock-knock joke in this thread?

I think so.
It was something mean about Glass, right?

Oh yeah, I remember that.
But it's not true! The knock-knock-who's-there's change subtly. Or something.
