I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I just about had whiplash when Lyle Lovett's "Church" was followed by Culture Club's "Church of the Poisoned Mind"!

That's kind of awesome.

Hmm. I need some Culture Club on my iPod...

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

So at the screening of the Bubblegum documentary there was a live performance by the Sour Grapes Bunch (not the actual ones, but go-go-girls) which is captured here.

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

He sounds heavenly.

He's going to be on either Daily Show or Colbert on Thursday--I can't remember which.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Aw, Cat Stevens. I still love/tear up to Father and Son. Beautiful.

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

Yo La Tengo, Bevis Frond, Spinanes and Versus? Is that all you got?

I thought you were friends with Mission of Burma!

It's like the Fire Engines don't even know who you are.

Also Sleepyhead and another band I can't announce yet.

I thought you were friends with Mission of Burma!

They weren't available. Weston is touring with Shellac at that time.

It's like the Fire Engines don't even know who you are.

Hey, it's expensive enough bringing one guy from England!
