Everyone's getting spanked but me.
Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
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.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
I think the best version of "Tennessee Stud" is the one by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band from the Will the Circle Be Unbroken album.
I'm off to a long-range planning meeting and can't quite go through everyone's great suggestions yet, but I just have to say I'm shocked (shocked!) that anyone would suggest I replace Johnny Cash.

Just a reminder: I'll be reading with Kim "In The Aeroplane Over the Sea" Cooper and Scott "If You're Feeling Sinister" Plagenhoef at the Hammer Museum in LA tomorrow evening at 7 pm. It's free! The reading will include a video or two of Richard & Linda Thompson making music plus some audio comparisons of RT's music and a snippet of an interview. If you're in LA, please come! If you're not in LA, I think there's some cheap last-minute tickets available.

Because books.
Holy shit, Frank. I think "goodbye productivity" about sums it up. For today, anyway.

Thanks, Frank!
I repay your tip with Billy Bragg's Welcome to the New Brunette and The B-52s "Song For a Future Generation."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I will be there with my DH, Cor, barring any work craziness! And I owe you an email, so I will get that off ASAP.

Yeah, I went straight for "November Rain" myself. And then right on to everything I could think of from high school.
