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.

It wouldn't at all surprise me. After agreeing to do THE SIMPSONS cameo, nothing he does would surprise me.

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

Ah, I didn't read the comments and only played a tiny piece of one of the compositions. Someone already made that Cecil Taylor joke.

It's definitely a parody. You need to watch the embedded youtube video on the page.

Well, he does come from the same Austrian village as Hitler.

The Pogues are playing at the Riviera March 5 and 6. I know aurelia was interested when I mentioned it at dinner, but I wondered if any other Chicagoistas might want to go.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I have grown to the conclusion that his songs would be much better, and much more popular, if many of the dissonances, or "wrong notes," were removed.
Isn't this in the same vein as "Careful analysis of P. D. Q. Bach's waltzes reveal that his left leg was two inches shorter than his right leg"?
