Sounds like an excellent birthday morning!
Have we had any recent updates on Li'l Sphere and Geneva and their increasing brilliance and awesome charmfulness and any signs of budding musical genius?

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Interrupting this birthday to share Pink covering "Me and Bobby McGee". (Also rocking the platinum blonde pixie cut)
Isn't she supposed to do some Janis bio? If so, she's definitely got the voice.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Holy Crap!
I wished for that cover ever since I saw her doing an acoustic version of Trouble while I was flipping channels and she was on some awards show!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Happy Birthday Corwood!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Anybody sitting around playing with their audio editing equipment this morning?
Because I found this cool blog podcasty radio show Lost and Found Show and downloaded the set but I really want to cut out one song and own it forever and call it Seymour and hug it and love it and squish it. (The whole podcast is excellent though.)
Anybody feel like harvesting "Andy Warhol" by Dana Gillespie from that set for me? It starts at about 40.06 into the set and goes to 42.59. (It's off a record that's never been out on CD.)
::makes greedy little glam rock wanting gimme hands::
It is, of course, the Bowie song and, in fact, this production precedes his own version. She was signed with Mainman (I think she was dating Mick Ronson) and both Ronno and Bowie play on the track as well.

Our wings are not tired.
Happy Birthday Mr. C!

Did you not realize that this is a radio show on my own WMBR, or are you just being coy?
In any case, I can set you up.

Coy or ignorant?! It's such a fine line...

Great cover! I see why you covet it. Sadly, there's a skip about halfway through.
It's now on buffistarawk.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Thank you, Jon! It really is a great version. I think I prefer it to Bowie's version. I just wish they hadn't cut off Ronson's solo at the end because he's in fine form.
