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.

Sarah sez, "BBC radio is doing a piece about the influence of Yiddish on American culture - they have a great clip describing the ways in which Yiddish songs made their way into jazz...
Yiddish - a language once spoken by more than 10 million Jews - had a profound effect on American culture in the first half of the 20th Century.
It originated in central and eastern Europe - and spread to the United States when thousand of immigrants arrived in New York.
Zalmen Mlotek is the Artistic Director of the city's last surviving professional Yiddish theatre - the Folksbiene.
With the help of his piano, he has been telling Radio 3's Dennis Marks how the language influenced jazz music - and the likes of George and Ira Gershwin.
DW is making the mother of all Christmas mixes. She wants to know if anybody has:
- Noel Gallagher: Merry Christmas Everyone
- Claudine Longet: I Don't Intend To Spend Christmas Without You
- Evan Dando: Silent Night
If you need any Christmas songs, just ask. She probably has them.

Well, I don't have those songs but I've got about 60 CDs worth of xmas music so I think I can help her out.
I think I've posted at least three xmas mixes to bufrawk 1 and 2.
I went through your mixes and pulled several - thanks!
ETA: I also uploaded that Sufjan Stevens Christmas song I was yammering on about a few days ago.
I saw Fall Out Boy last night at a tiny club show, about 150 people total, and it was AWESOME.
SO. JEAL. OUS.
Did they do What a Catch, Donnie ? Because if Patrick did that song that close to me I'd probably code.
They only did I Don't Care and America's Suitehearts from the new album. There were a ton of songs from Take This To Your Grave. I seriously couldn't have asked for a better setlist.
