Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

Closed Threads

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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Download the Fall track "The Classical" from their 2nd-greatest album Hex Enduction Hour, too. As great as "Totally Wired" is (and it's fucking awesome), for me, "The Classical" is Why The Fall Is Astonishingly Good. More backstory: according to potentially apocryphal legend, Motown Records wanted to get in on the ground floor of this punk thing going on in the early 80s, so they expressed some interest in The Fall. Mark E. sent them a copy of "The Classical," which had just been recorded but had yet to be released. Apparently (for the obvious reason if you listen to the song), they made it about 8 seconds in.

I hear that the 50,000 Fall Fans Can't Be Wrong compilation is pretty good, too.

Joe: got box. Will write more after 2 pm meeting.

OK, I'm starting to understand The Fall, based on the two recommendations. I guess I just haven't been up that branch off the punk tree, even though I apparently have (thanks to their followers).

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

If someone could arrange for Lyle Lovett to sing to me constantly, that'd be great. North Dakota at least once every couple of hours.

For those of you with digital cable, Showtime C is showing the documentary "Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways". It will be rebroadcast today at 4:30pm.

[ETA: OK, not a great film. JJ didn't participate, they didn't have a lot of archival footage, and a lot of memories are fried at this point.]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Are you people listening to Nellie McKay? She's so kickass.

Thank you. The backlash is already in on her, and I just don't get it. Yeah, she's kind of cutesy at times, but not to the point of distraction. Beyond that, she's all manner of accomplished and lyrically talented. And hot, so hot.

And also, she's ready to cut anyone who fucks with her. I like that.

Yeah, the hell with assertive women in pop music--I want more actually violent women in pop music. "Won't U Please B Nice" goes on my Disturbing/Great list.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

Another reason Ms. McKay is great? LB was requesting "Ding Dong" on a daily basis for a while.

OK, guys, I know at least three people here who would be "exceptionally well-qualified" for this job: [link]
