Sometimes they're a hot mess, too.
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.
PEOPLE, I DID NOT NEED "SNAKES ON A PLANE" STUCK IN MY HEAD AGAIN.
Damn, they look good and I'm drunk.
I hear it's warmer in the basement.
Man, the kids are all fucked up.
Kristin Hersh has been linking to her new songs for free/listener-determined value payment via Twitter and at [link] . I liked 'Flooding' more than enough to pay for it. I love it when artists do this kind of thing.
Oh, me too!
Thank you, Seska.
BTW, REM live at the Olympia is an NPR Exclusive First Listen. Now, if only I could get the NPR player thingy to work.
Three years ago, a box turned up on my doorstep. I ripped into it, slammed the CD into my computer, ported everything into iTunes, and then went to work with my headphones in. I listened to that album all day. I listened to that album all week? Month? For a very long time.
Since that day, I have seen the band live 4 times. I've been accused of letting my inner teen become not so inner. I've met members of the band and managed to not flail or freak out at them.
I've been listening to it straight through (instead of shuffled) today, and not only had it been fun, but it's been pretty damn cathartic. (I've had a very chaotic few months with both good and bad things, and that's all I'm saying.) And you know what? I STILL think the album is one of the best I've ever heard.
Happy Birthday to The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.
