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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In shallow news, I liked Sara's new haircut, which DW deemed "Flock of Seagulls." She looked adorable in it.

That's important news.

I'm posting the Bleak Beautiful Folky Harrowing Halloween songs now to Bufrawk2 (two). Under the title In the October Country.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Punishingly Intricate

I mean, we all loved Weezer but save your adoration for Rivers Cuomo, man.

Randomly, I just friended an old high-school era friend on Facebook and evidently he's working for Weezer now. He seems to be on tour with them anyway.

“Not dead yet!”

Has anyone got an MP3 of the Natalie Merchant version of "Because the Night?"

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I do. Live performance, at least. Not sure if there's another version.

“Not dead yet!”

Yeah, that's the only one-- the unplugged performance. Seemed like iTunes had every other version, including one by Springsteen, that I didn't even know existed, and one by some techno chick named Cascada that scared me.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

You want it e-mailed?

Also, I believe the Springsteen is the original version.

“Not dead yet!”

I thought the Patti Smith was. And sure, I'd love it-- profile addy is great.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I thought the Patti Smith was.

You can ignore my blabbering, then. Gimme a second to find it on the other computer, and I'll send it. on.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Bruce Springsteen wrote it for Patti Smith and it was her sole hit.

He didn't record it until later.

Trivia: He wrote "Hungry Heart" for the Ramones, but his manager wouldn't let him give it away.
