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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How else would my Good 80s/90s/00s smart playlists work properly?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

obsessively correcting/updating/adding to anything on iTunes is not wrong at all.

Exactly.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That really annoys me with the Rhino compilations, which are often songs of the 50s and 60s with 90s dates on them. Harumph.

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

I have a shitload of albums (most bought from iTunes) that have the year of the CD being reissued as the year in my iTunes database. Most annoying.

I think I need to spend a weekend afternoon just fixing my iTunes data.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

The Clash did a version of Pressure Drop in the 80s. It's on "Black Market Clash"

Bone Machine

If I listen to this album will I understand the Pixies song?

No.

Jon, any recommendations on theremins? I'm starting to like soldering, so a kit would be cool too. Of course, I'd only be interested in a real (not optical) theremin.

Are the more expensive ones easier to play? (If that's the case, then I have to decide if I just want to fart around, in which case a cheap one would do, or do I really want to learn to play one, in which case I should invest more in a better one.)

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

The Pixies song predates the Tom Waits album. (And Black Francis did the intro to the collection of Waits interviews, so he presumably took it as a compliment.)

What's to understand? "My heart's got a bone machine!" We're bone machines.

We're bone machines.

At least until we're just dirt in the ground. But in the meantime, we're chained to the world and we all gotta pull.

I think Bone Machine is my favorite Waits album.
