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.

I thought it was an interesting experiment musically. It really focused on Tom's melodies and built a layered pop album around them. A couple songs worked, but not because of her vocals which were supremely characterless and did not really dig into the lyrics.
Holly Cole did an album of Tom Waits songs a few years back and though it was with a fairly standard jazz lineup, she really got the lyrics and did a great job with them.
I guess I should remind people that I put up a ton of Tom Waits covers at Buffistarawk in a variety of styles. So if you're curious about his music but can't get past his voice...check it out.

Oh! Good reminder! I'd forgotten about those being there.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Question! There's an oscillator/generator pop song...does anyone know who the band is? Googling not helping. Need song!
Hec? Help?

'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"
That's the one I would have picked.

If that is the one you need, Allyson, I can send it to you when I get home.

I don't know if I've blathered about them here, but I've been going to see a local band called Empires since February. Today they released their album, and you can download it for free (with cover art and photographs!) from their website: [link]
Their sound is rock and roll with a dash of R&B. Anyway, I think their songs are pretty catchy. So.
