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.

Oh, and thanks for the tip Jimi. I found the flv file and converted it to mp3 via a free tool I found on the web.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Jon, could I ask you pretty-please to share? I looked for the .flv, but couldn't find it. In fact, I couldn't even find my Firefox cache at all. (Maybe I didn't look hard enough, but I did look in what I thought were likely places....)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I use the Download Helper [link] extension to Firefox to copy and save flash video, but I don't have an app. to convert to .mp3

What did you use for that?

eta: On second glance, looks like there may be a utility on that same site to do the conversion to .mp3. I'll have to try it out....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My first review from the Tom Waits Forums:

*******************

"Anyway, back to the book. It was for me like a giant platter of chocolate truffles with different fillings. The detailed dissection, savoury morsels and nougats of truth and lies, myths and facts, clarifications and obfuscations at the same page, in the same sentence created [a] delicious melange, at least for this Tom Waits fan.
And the fadeout of the last chapter was spectacular.
I'm not going to say more, now it's your turn to read it, fans."

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

That's fantastic!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aha! I have another review here.

I was curious to see how Smay would tackle the album and I admit I had doubts if one could pull off an appreciation of such a record and not sound arse-lickey or descend into tiresome Waits cliches ( his voice, his love for blues and so on)but I was amazed. Smay not only gives the reader a whole new angle on Waits but also manages to create the same feel as Swordfish.... within his writing style. Sometimes dark, sometimes freaky, cool and casual. This is the true masterstroke of the book itself.
