has anybody picked up the new Weezer?
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

'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"
I always loved that little breathy voice bit in the song -- so that's how how it came about!

Corwood - I have your book in my hand (fits nicely in just the one). More later.

If I had listened to "I'm not in Love" closely, without having read the description above, I'd have assumed that they used a mellotron. I can't decide if it was worth the extra effort. Knowing now how they did it makes me appreciate the song a lot more. But considering I never previously gave the song a second thought, that's not saying a whole lot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
1. Oh THAT "I'm not in Love".
Yeah, not really an obscure track. I thought I'd save you the trouble of combing through a bunch of obscure bittorrent sites.
ION, I recently picked up Oh You Pretty Things - the Songs of David Bowie.
This isn't the usual tribute album, but a bunch of Bowie compositions which were covered by other people in the sixties and seventies.
It has an alternative version of Dana Gillespie's "Andy Warhol" (already up at buffistarawk, and if you haven't downloaded it yet you should) and several tracks which were never done by Bowie himself like "I Am A Laser" by Ava Cherry, "I Am Divine" by The Astronettes and a huge Scott Walker-type ballad titled "Silly Boy Blue."
It's cool!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I need help with a project for Comic Book Boyfriend. He finished my tattoo drawing on Saturday, so as a treat I took him to the Arts Festival yesterday, but that doesn't seem like quite enough. I love the tattoo, and it is such a personal gift, I thought I'd return the favor by putting together a comic book/superhero themed cd. Nothing to obscure or crazy, does anyone have ideas for songs? Being buffistas, I'm assuming you do.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
- "Superman" - R.E.M. (which is a cover of a song by The Clique)
- "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" - The Kinks
- "Spider-Man" - The Ramones

I look more rad than Lutheranism
DJ, I have 5 versions of the Spider-Man theme (including the TV show theme). t edit And none of them are the Ramones version that Scola linked.
I also have: (1) the Harvey Birdman theme, (2) The Tick theme, (3) R.E.M.'s "Superman," [guess you don't need that one] (4) If you count Schoolhouse Rock's "Interplanet Janet" as a superhero, I have that song, performed by Man or Astroman.
Tell me if you want any or all of them.
