Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

Discussion Threads

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.

I recently crashed into their cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division (as the background at a very shishi restaurant, the Blue Hour) - and it was like running into a wall at high speed. I was with my family over the 4th of July weekend, and suddenly all the blood drained from my face. My sister said, concerned, "What? What's wrong?"

I pointed at the ceiling. "Is that...Joy Division, as muzak?"

My sister listened, and said, "No, it's not muzak if it has words."

Then I found the youtube of the song, and...as startling as it is to hear Sisters of Mercy's "Marian" in this mode, I *like* Nouvelle Vague. It's fascinating.

I would NOT be surprised.

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

I would NOT be surprised.

No, they already did it.

I was a little disappointed in that one because I thought they were going to go for more of a tropical voodoo I Walked With A Zombie feel.

But it's a little too close to the original in its arrangement.

However their version of Just Can't Get Enough as an Andrews Sisters a capella number? Pretty cool.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I'm digging their version of The Killing Moon.

Okay - I had to. Both albums. "A Forrest" is brilliant.

This will be our pre-show music tonight, Jilli. The drive to the club will be very Rio. (No, not Duran Duran. *sigh*)

Ohh-kaaaay?

The drive to the club will be very Rio.

Yay!

(No, not Duran Duran. *sigh*)

Oh.

Actually, I have some stuff by Novelle Vague. I think Hec gave it to me.

Oh.

Oh, all right.

There will be Duran Duran. The things I do to avoid a knife in the back. Sheesh.

OK, you two are not Goths, you're 80's new-wavers (Brit edition) in elaborate disguise.

BTW, the night before I flew out to Seattle, I saw the current line-up on the Regeneration tour: Cutting Crew (better than I expected, but rather pubby), Wang Chung (who were pretty frelling awesome) and ABC (who rocked as much as the last time I saw them in the strangest Roadhouse in New Hampshire a few years ago). Sadly, Heaven 17 didn't make the tour. Helluva good show, apart from the drunken guy from Sheffield who yowled and stumbled all over ABC.
