'Sleeper'
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.
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.
I'm dying to read it. I'm about to see two Gutter Twins shows, on Wednesday and Thursday. And I almost, almost got to interview them as well.
And yeah, every time I read about it in their musical forum I thought "Buffistas!".
Are you all familiar with Darondo?
Actual pimp from Oakland with a great singing voice. He also had an actual cable access show in the mid eighties. Suave!
And I almost, almost got to interview them as well.
Hey, may I ask for your help, you kind musically educated Musicastas?
Apparently that interview might still happen. Might. Any tips, ideas for questions for the band and Valium will be welcomed by me. Profile addy is good.
Check out these handsome dudes! [link]
::totally crushing on Corwood for calling me pretty. ::
Any classical music buffs, new recording of The Four Seasons by Joshua Bell with the Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields. I've only heard a small amount and it's tremendous so far.
Speaking of classical music, this cracked me up: [link]
Funny, especially since I systematically say my interest in concert music doesn't go beyond WWI, with the exception of Prokofiev. And I love Dvorak.
In non-classical news, I've put aside Chopin to listen to the latest episode of All Songs Considered (The 1980s: Were They Really That Bad?). They are having so much fun with this topic.
For the record, I don't think the 80s were that bad.
