You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

Closed Threads

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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

For Thursday, I have:

Giles, Giles, & Fripp - "Thursday Morning" (60s britfolk-pop from the band that would turn into King Crimson the next year)
Les Savy Fav - "Blackouts on Thursday" (loud punk)
The Mendoza Line - "Social Thursday" (introspective folk)
Morphine - "Thursday" (the most Morphine-like of all Morphine songs)
Townes Van Zandt - "Like A Summer Thursday" (introspective folk, Texas-style)

Also good:

The Brilliant Corners - "Friday Saturday Sunday Monday" (kiwi-pop, which means it's sorta like the Feelies and sorta like Belle & Sebastian)
Silver Jews - "Friday Night Fever" (hyperliterate indie rocker gone Nashville)
Robbie Fulks - "Let's Kill Saturday Night" (anyone mention this one yet?)
Jonathan Richman's cover of "The Heart of Saturday Night" (which posits the track as an outtake from American Graffiti)
Sparklehorse - "Saturday" (man, what a delightful song)
Sir Douglas Quintet - "Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day" (aww yeah, baby)

I don't have the Pogues song, so I'm sending only the Spoon song to B-rawk, I think.

Asaf Avidan with the wonderful Empty Handed Saturday Blues was sent to buffistarawk.

Thanks to everyone for your "day" suggestions and for selections sent, with a special shout out to Perkins for sheer volume and Jesse for "Lazy Sunday".

I always discover great (new to me) music through your help.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm very proud of myself for getting a Thursday song.

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

This is an awesome video: Wire’s “Outdoor Miner” on Ukulele

It's performed by Gus & Finn. I don't know anything about them - I'd love to get an audio recording of this....

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

Pretty awesome mixtapes. Posts in Hebrew, music and playlists in English. Mostly 70's Funk, Groove and Jazz.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Megan, I have the Bangles, Asobi Seksu, and the Bloc Party. I'll send these to Buffistarawk.

Some other weekday songs I have:
Friday Night at the Drive-In Bingo, Jens Lekman (I loooove this one)
Friday's Dust, Doves
St. Monday, Billy Bragg
Saturday Morning, Eels
A Sunday Smile, Beirut
Sunday Morning, Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs (a gorgeous VU cover)
Sunday Sun, Beck
Saturday Night, Suede
Sunday Best, Augustana
Sunday, Nick Drake
Never on Sunday, Pink Martini

Um. Rather a disproportionate number of Sunday songs there. Let me know if you want any of these uploaded.

ETA: Corwood, could I ask you to send Sparklehorse' "Saturday" to BR if you have it? I love them and I don't have that one.

I'm having a seriously WTF moment this morning watching this: [link]

That's Rob Tyner, lead singer for the MC5, in an 1980s TV appearance, playing the auto-harp.
