'War Stories'


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.

Art Crawl!!!

Crow by Jim Carroll

Crows on a Phone Line - Let's Active

There's a Japanse lullabye about crows going home. . . but I can't remember what it's called nor do I know who may have recorded it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Insent to buffistarawk.

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

Raven/crow songs, hmm. There's "Crow Jane" from Nick Cave's Murder Ballads. juliana, do you have that album? Also, Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer's "I Go Like the Raven", about a raven-goddess archetype. I'll send it off to buffistarawk now.

I do not have the Nick Cave album, sadly. Thanks for the music, Kate!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I need songs that deal with death and/or crows/ravens.

Incubus, "A Crow Left of the Murder."

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I think know a lot of death songs, but the only one that comes to my mind now is The Twilight Singers' Martin Eden.

If you want it, I'll send it to buffistarawk.

I always have room for more death songs! I just finished this project, though. If people want, I can put it up.

Shiny Things - Tom Waits
Crows (from The Vile Village) - The Gothic Archies
