Well it's not on actual St. Patrick's Day and it's in the middle of the week so that could help.

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.

Hey, Hec. Just got word that one of the copies of Swordfishtrombones I ordered is on the way from Amazon (the other one is supposed to ship with Corwood's Shoot Out the Lights, but I wouldn't be surprised if they shipped it separately, depending on when the latter comes out).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Does anyone remember back when Bill Clinton was inaugurated in '92, MTV has an inauguration party, and one of the bands was Automatic Baby (consisting of members of U2 and REM - Stipe on vocals) and they did an awesome acoustic version of "One"?
It's my favorite version of that song (over U2s and Johny Cash's). Listening to it now....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I haven't heard that one, but I have a pretty big love for the U2/Mary J Blige version.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Automatic Baby version of "One" was actually put out on some do-gooder compilation. Just search on "Automatic Baby" and you should be able to find it.
the YouTube version: Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen
The sole Automatic Baby performance has been released on at least four commercial compilations. The first was the second edition of Atlanta radio station 99x's Live X CD series, released in 1995. The following year, Maryland alternative radio station WHFS released a compilation of performances from its Just Passin' Thru program, and included the track. Later in 1996, a UK compilation released by Island Records titled Childline included the track. Island Records released another benefit CD the following year in the U.S., titled Amazing Grace, which included the song. The radio station compilations were very limited, possibly as few as 10,000 copies each. The Island Records releases had a larger pressing. However, all four releases are currently out of print.

Hey look at that! They're running an excerpt from Corwood's Richard Thompson book at the 33 1/3 blogspot.
