Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yiddish in Jazz

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.

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

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.

Then I'd have survived, but only just.

I have an unemployed friend who is my box office go-to girl when NYC gets its show. Did they let people get two? ::bites nails::

My show was only allowing one ticket per person, and you had to be the person going, because the ticket was really a wristband. But it may vary from venue to venue.
