Isn't that "Workin' in a coal mine"? Of is it a different song?
No, you're right, and I should have gone to bed earlier.

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.

'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"
"Working in a Coal Mine" and "Working on the Chain Gang" are two separate songs, the former being the uptempo Devo cover and the latter by a doomed soul singer.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I saw the Mountains Goats in concert a couple of nights ago, and it was one of the best concerts I've seen in ages. John Darnielle and the other dudes were clearly having a fantastic time; they looked like there was nothing else on earth they'd rather be doing than getting to stand up there and play their music for us. They played a bunch of songs from the new album, which worked much better for me live than they had on the album, and a good mix of older songs too. I highly recommend catching them on this tour if you can!

So, thanks to an NPR story, I've picked up a bunch of Shirley Bassey, and am just reveling in it. I highly recommend "The Living Tree (shaken & stirred remix)" It's given a very Bond theme feel, which in turn gives it a very Buffista feel (to me).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
"New Amsterdam" is 2 episodes for 4 on the use of The Decembrists in montages. Too bad the show isn't better.

So tickled that "Down In The Hole" is on there. I get earwormed of it frequently. Either I'm a Wirefiend or I'm having a very sanctified brain tumor.
