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.

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.

Silence means security silence means approval

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

I'm not on her bandwagon, though I know that puts me in the minority in this group. I just can't get over how cutesy to the point of distraction "The Dog Song" is. And it was pounded into my head by all the radio stations I listened to at work until I COULD NOT STAND IT ANYMORE. Every once in a while there's an artist I refuse because of one song, and it may take me years before I can get past that one song and actually sample the rest of that artist's work. I'm afraid Ms. McKay is in that group.

I'm not into Norah Jones or Madeline Peyroux, either; maybe there's a trend line in those data points.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I don't know if y'all have seen this: A high school class does an a capella medley of Nintendo songs.

In case the mention of the name was making anyone else wonder, it looks like Madeleine Peyroux has reappeared.
