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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Okay everybody hit the randomizer or shuffle on your music player and gimme your top five.

  • Mardy Bum - Arctic Monkeys
  • The Dark of the Matinee - Franz Ferdinand
  • Graffiti - Maximo Park
  • Any Day Now - Missy Higgins
  • All That We Let In - Indigo Girls

It's classics of the early-ish 2000s today, apparently. Nice soundtrack to today's dissertation session.

'Mardy Bum' is my favourite song on that Arctic Monkeys CD. I didn't get any other of their CDs after that one. I couldn't see where else they could go with their style. I should perhaps listen on Spotify to see where they did go.

“Not dead yet!”

So Pete is playing Brutal Legend.

Nate and Abby are as well. They just killed Tim Curry.

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

Wow, I just discovered The Apple of homemade goth videos. This is a pure genius of utter cheestasticness.

Just one of several examples of pure genius.

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

They need to make that into a movie.

ITA. The people who made that definitely had... a point of view.

Susan Sontag's definition of camp insists that the work must be done without distancing irony; that it needs to be done in complete sincerity.

This was a sincere video.

Yes! If you have to say something nice about this video, that will do....
