(sigh) "Beloved" by VNV Nation just came on my Slacker station. This was "our song" when I was with Alfredo; we're still friends, but oh the very teeny-bopper melancholy this produces instantly.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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.

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

This arguably sucks donkey balls....
Smells Like Teen Spirit, Sounds Like…
Whatever the reason, Chilean singer Abigail’s version of the Nirvana classic Smells Like Teen Spirit remains a stupendous atrocity; a pop-techno re-imagining devoid of irony but instead recorded with what seems to be a complete lack of understanding. I’m no great fan of the band but, really, I think they deserve better than this. Of course, I could be completely wrong. This could, in actuality, be an exquisitely orchestrated trolling a thoughtful deconstruction of Grunge; ruthlessly exposing its teen existential angst as petulant whinging and bubblegum philosophy.

Is it the 'Kick Kurt Cobain from beyond the Grave' week and no one told me? Because only two days ago I was exposed to this: [link]

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
If it makes you feel any better, just remember that Australia's Triple J had another Hottest 100 of all time, and Smells Like Teen Spirit was voted #1.

This maybe would fit better in Natter or something, but it's narrated by Nick Cave so I'm putting it here:
The Cat Piano, Narrated by Nick Cave
“The Cat Piano”, a marvelous animated short film by The People’s Republic of Animation, directed by Eddie White and Ari Gibson and narrated by Nick Cave.
In a city of singing cats, a lonely beat poet falls for a beautiful siren. When a mysterious dark figure emerges, kidnapping the town’s singers for his twisted musical plans, the poet must save his muse and put an end to the nefarious tune that threatens to destroy the city.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, do y'all know Behind The Music is back? This weekend, Lil Wayne. Coming up, Pink.

Yeah. I actually love "City Drops Into the Night" about as much as "People Who Died."
