Congratulations indeed! And thanks for the introduction. New album's finishing is always awesome.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Thanks, Amy! juliana had actually already emailed it to me directly, I should have popped back in to clarify. I hope others will take the opportunity to enjoy the bert/gerard goodness.

I have irrational Bert issues, so I still haven't brought myself to listen to that cover.

Oh, Jilli!
I remembered this week what you wrote about 2000 posts ago, here, and wanted to ask again, if that's OK, to read some more about it. Because I'd love to, being the huge Grunge fan I am and all.

Shir, what do you want to know more about? There are probably people who know more about the music of the Grunge scene; everything I know is from being a Seattle native who went to a lot of clubs and shows. I reflexively roll my eyes at Pearl Jam because I still feel that Mother Love Bone was a better band. (Damn you, Andy.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Har. Shir's link led to me re-reading a whole bunch, and led to me tagging Plei (hope you don't mind, doll): "One stupid concert with MCR, and POW! I was suddenly 20 years younger and reading shit on Buzznet. It was AWESOME."
Ohhhhhh, Mother Love Bone. digs through CDs

Humm. I'm bad when it comes to asking questions, especially when all I have is fuzzy ponders in my mind.
I guess I just want to hear (read) your stories. I'm not after any gossip or yellowish tidbits. I want to read about your experiences: for example, I can get the sexist vibes from the music, but until I read what you wrote about it I couldn't pin down the term myself (and yes, it was sexist, otherwise we wouldn't get Riot Grrrl*). I was way too young to experience it in real time and fell in love with The Afghan Whigs much, much later. And you know, even if I were old enough, the whole thing happening 2-3 continents away probably wouldn't have helped either (I'm sure there's at least one grammar mistake in this paragraph).
(*This is something I actually have a lot more to write about, the "men took the natural victim place from us, we'll do something else, more extreme now" thing. Happened in 1920s Israeli poetry, I had a class about it, and now can identify the pattern in so, so many other levels of art now. I'm quite fascinated about it, but it's a whole other subject).

My favorite bit comes with about 1:25 left in the song. See if you can spot why...

Thank god for the Unicorn. I could see Colbert showing this what with the ursine villainy.
