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.

Oh, I'm sure. I just mostly needed an excuse to say that I didn't like Sufjan Stevens.

Really? But he employs choir-like arrangements and shit.
