Can't say it's doing much for curmudgeonly ol' me, but funnily enough I know the mixing engineer, Tim O'Heir. He used to work at Fort Apache studios.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

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.

You kind of have to watch their video to get them, I think.
Or better yet an interview with them while they're wearing their leafy masks.

I "get" them. The video is lovely and fits well with their cinematic sound. I'm just not a big fan of the oeuvre in which they are working. They seems like a poor man's Explosions in the Sky.
In other news, FAQWife informs me that the Harvard music library acquired the Swordfishtrombones book yesterday!

In anticipation of replacing my March Madness work playlist (which includes "Windmills of Your Mind", "Destroyer", "Psycho Killer" and 4 different songs simply entitled "Crazy") with April Showers, can people suggest songs about rain? I have about 20 with rain actually in the title, I'm interested more in songs with rain in the lyrics (such as "Sweetest Drop" or "I Can See Clearly Now").

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