I love Bernstein's Mass!
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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.

Ooooh... Bernstein's Mass-- can't BELIEVE I almost forgot about that. I actually remember first hearing it when the Garfield Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps played it as their field show in '83. Gorgeous stuff.
I was actually just listening to the recording of Beethoven's 9th from when the Berlin Wall fell-- damn, but Lenny could conduct Ludwig like no one's business and on that occasion? Wow.

Totally whiplash day musically speaking, but seriously, is there any way to remain feeling crappy while listening to "Try a Little Tenderness" ala Otis and Booker T and the MGs?
Nah. Didn't think so.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I have a hard time maintaining gloom when I play "Better Not Look Down" by BB King.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Good time for a quick poll, then.
What songs turn your mood around?

Which way? Or was that deliberately open-ended?

It's a trap to find the people who like to turn their mood from gleeful to melancholy. Then I sneak into their homes, and remove all the Townes Van Zandt and Nick Drake from their iTunes and replace it with one song: "Just Got Lucky" by the Joboxers.

But sometimes I just have to embrace the sad clown pose! Right now, though, I think I'm too distracted by life to have my mood turned either way by any music.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
You replace my Townes Van Zandt, I'ma sneak into your home and replace all of your books with CatFancy anthologies. And I might even get Belinda back from Nicole.

Play "Pay to Cum" on the way to work and see if you don't shove some lobbyist into a wall on the way to your desk.
