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.

Woo hoo! Maybe we'll get some last minute tickets and sell out.
This is how slow my memory churns. A day of the week song just popped into my brain: Wednesday Week by the Undertones. I only have it on cassette, so I can't send it to you.

Hec already suggested it, but it's not on iTunes.
I generally shoot for 50-60 songs, and I now have 70, so I'm actually working on weeding out a few.
I went on the fabulicious Smay-led Waits tour of LA! It was fantastic, fun and really interesting AND it had added bonus Corwood! It was a truly wonderful way to spend the day and it was so nice to be around an entire crowd of folks all digging Hec's spicy brains.
Monday Mornin Blues by Mississipi John Hurt is another one if you're still looking.
I didn't see Billie Holliday's "Gloomy Sunday" on there, either!
Wire / WFMU tickets Available Wednesday, Times New Viking to Open Show
I only post this because "Times New Viking" is an awesome band namd....
Huh. They're actually pretty cool: [link]
Funny - I just got invited to a book signing for a friend's husband who just had a book released in the 33 1/3 series. (His is on the Afghan Whigs' "Gentlemen".) I halfway feel like these books are a Buffista project so it took me aback a little.
(Tuesday the 16th at the Hideout if any Chicagoistas are interested. Free food and not-free beer.)
I think that 33 book will sell well, brenda. That is such a touchstone album for so many people.
