Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just heard The Decembrists used in an AT&T ad. Huh.

Got the skills to pay the bills.

Ann, that's a ferret.

For research on the civil rights movement in Mississippi in the earlier part of the '60s, Anne Moody's Coming of Age in Mississippi has the perspective of a female black activist college student.

Irma Thomas's version of "Time Is on My Side" was actually the B-side of the lovely "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is." Which would be a great trigger for memories of a love affair.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Too bad, Barb, if you were in the Carolinas you could use Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts.

Ah jeez, the "My Ding-a-Ling" group! I think my father-in-law still has a 45 of that somewhere. A few cocktails too many and he starts singing it.

And if I may interject a moment in which to totally laugh at myself and my utter "Research! Squee! More, more, more!" keeping in mind this is for small stuff; little tidbits to be woven in against the larger backdrop of the story.

One of the surviving members of the Hot Nuts, I think his name is Prince George, was at the Taz Halloween show I danced in the other week. He sang "My Ding-a-ling" and a few other choice numbers, including "What a Wonderful World." Still got a great voice.

I just bought four tickets. I think I'll be able to find a use for them.

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

I just heard The Decembrists used in an AT&T ad. Huh.

Which reminds me that I heard Os Mutantes in a McDonald's commercial the other day. A very WTF moment!

Kate, the Feelies also have a Northampton show, if you want to check them out.
