That was Merritt's mission statement for the album.
Oh yeah - I remember reading that....
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Picked up the new Beck yesterday, and quite liked it. It's got a really melancholy tone to it, but the music keeps springing fun surprises - it's a nice study in contrast.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Mr. Jane pre-ordered it through iTunes. It was downloading when I left this morning. I'm looking forward to trying it out when I get home.

My iPod just finished playing an album. Quick, what should I listen to next?
eta: OK, I settled on having my iPod play random Replacements tracks....

I haven't picked that up yet. Think I'll do that tonight.

We are seeing Kristin Hersh tonight. She is doing all Appalachian songs. Should be interesting!

Awesome! Let us know how it was....
Is this songs from Murder, Misery and Goodnight, or is it other Appalachian songs?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have Murder, Misery and Goodnight and it's wonderful. When Emmett was little we'd always play her version of "All the Pretty Little Horses" (titled "Whole Heap of Little Horses" on her CD, I think) to call the tooth fairy to visit because "fairies like sad songs."
