Eeek! Want to go home right now omg.
I have hugged the box to my bosom more than once.
Between it and my new bass I'm all hugged out.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Rumor is he did that b/c Scarlett Johannsen didn't want to duet with him.
Not rumor, truth! From his blog (because I'm kind of Files and Records like that sometimes):
I hear Scarlett Johansson's putting out a debut album of Tom Waits covers. I'm a fan of Waits so I started pestering her management around a year or two ago to duet with her. She rejected me like I was in high school again with an alleged "Oh no, I hate Fall Out Boy." Fair enough, that's not the first time I've heard that this week.
Nonetheless, I was bummed because I really just wanted to sing some Tom Waits. So I sat at a piano, pressed record, and plunked this one out. Were I trying to impress message boards with my knowledge of Waits, I certainly would have picked something more obscure. Perhaps something off the out of print Night On Earth soundtrack. Or the song he wrote for Solomon Burke. Or that early demo of his I think is called "Up Shit Creek," or something to that effect. But fuck that, the value of scene points is dropping like that of American currency or my patience for LA drivers. I just really like this song, so I did it."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I called it rumor b/c I couldn't remember where I'd seen it. Thanks, Aillean.
Oh, P. Stump.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Who was it wanted The Waterboys version of Yeats' "The Stolen Child"? I think it was Kate.
I couldn't find my copy of Fisherman's Blues, but I was able to track down a lovely live version that I'm posting to Buffistarawk.
"Come away...human child...to the water."
"For the world's more full of weeping / than you can understand."

Me! Thanks! Weird, I had Fisherman's Blues but for some reason that's not ringing any bells. Maybe when I hear it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I might like this live version better. It reminds me of Van Morrison during his Veedon Fleece period.
Super dreamy and drifty.
