Buffistas

I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Remember the punk on the bus in Star Trek IV?

Kirk and Spock are on a bus and A Punk With A Boom Box gets on, playing:

Just what is the future? / The things we've done and said? / Let's just push the button / We'd be better off dead / 'Cause I hate you / And I berate you / And I can't wait to get to you / The sins of all the fathers / Being dumped on us, the sons / The only choice we're given is / "How many megatons?" / And I eschew you / And I say *screw* you! / And I hope you're blue too...

And then:

Punk on bus: [plays loud music on a bus]
Kirk: Excuse me.
Punk on bus: [doesn't listen]
Kirk: Excuse me. Would you mind stopping that noise?
Punk on bus: [turns it up louder]
Kirk: [louder and firmer] Excuse me! Would you mind stopping that damn noise?
Punk on bus: [flips him off]
Kirk: [looks at Spock]
Spock: [gives the punk the Vulcan Neck-Pinch, much to the delighted applause of the gratefull bus passengers]

Well, an interview with Punk On Bus: [link]

Silence means security silence means approval

Egad. I just discovered there's a two-volume set of early My Morning Jacket recordings, featuring covers of

Rocketman
Take My Breath Away
West End Girls
White Rabbit

The Rocketman cover is passable, kind of exploring some new ground (sounds like a maudlin drug song). TMBA is pretty good. The other two are destined for a "good bands doing awful covers" compliation. And man, are they awful.

And I know it's October, but has anyone starting working on their list of best albums/songs of 2005?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I haven't really flipped over anything this year. What with having the kid, though, I've been quite a bit out of the loop.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Sleater-Kinney's The Woods would definitely be my pick for no. 1 of the year. Twin Cinema by New Pornographers would be in my list, too.

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

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

Anyone who is in the mood for big loud guitars and and an effeminate goth-y male singer should check out the new HIM album, Dark Light. Very metal. And rather Finnish.

I can't even.

The Decemberists, Picaresque.

I'm seeing the Decemberists on Thursday, Kate!

I got it on the day of release, not only because I am a guiltily-swooning fan girl of the lead vocalist, but because my day had been dreadful. Swoony gothy-pop-metal is a good cure for dreadful days. At least, it is if you're me.
