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.
Can I sit with you?

Because really? They're just trying. so. hard.

If a girl whose drinking habits resembles the ones of Straight Edge can join the party, I'm there.

Is that why the second I saw Lanegan in the video (which only happens about 40 seconds into the video) I could only thought "wow, Emo much?"?
Edit: Also, first thought about Saturnalia's song listing, when I first saw it and before I got to heat it? "Oh, it'll be extremely cool if The Body will be A Cappella!".
