You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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.

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

Speaking of St. James Infirmary, that's how I got to know it.

Edit: Oh, and thanks for the Irma Thomas reminder. It was good to listen to one of the few-songs-of-her's-I-know again.

“Not dead yet!”

I woke up this morning with an inexplicable urge to create a new mix that harkens back to high school.

It starts with "Dead Man's Party."

Followed by:

  • Under Pressure
  • Call Me
  • Love is a Battlefield
  • She's a Beauty
  • World Where You Live
  • Every Little Thing She Does is Magic
  • Voices Carry
  • Here I Am (Come and Take me)
  • True Faith
  • A View to a Kill
  • I Know There's Something Going On
  • What Have I Done to Deserve This
  • Everybody Wants to Rule the World
  • It's My Life
  • The Tide is High
  • Tombstone
  • We Belong

I have to wonder what in hell my subconscious is up to.

I have to wonder what in hell my subconscious is up to.

Whatever it's up to, it's wearing a "Members Only" jacket.

Punishingly Intricate

No, but I think I may need it for my "Stickshifts and Safetybelts" Mix.

Is that the mix you're doing for August? I have to do a road trip mix soon and will be looking for suggestions.

Tell me about it. I have to think it might be for a story idea because that's how my brain tends to work.

And you know, never actually had a Members Only. At least not a real one. My mom bought me a fake. Pink. Of course. *rolls eyes*

I will 'fess up to an unholy addiction to my Reebok Freestyle Hightops.

Because books.

::hugs Barb tight::

But you forgot "Always Something There to Remind Me," and "Let's Go Crazy," and "Born in the USA", and "I Love Rock 'n' Roll"!

Lewis just looked at the list and went, "Lotta death there. Wonder if it has to do with that ghost story you're brainstorming?"

This is why I love my husband.

Aw. Go, Lewis!

That's OK, I think I still have a wee thin, leather tie with piano keys on it. A lot of skinny ties, actually. And a sport coat where the sleeves are peremanently rolled up.
