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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Passing this along from the FAQMissus who got it from a musicologist listserv:

Professor XXXX,

I was referred to you by Barbara in the Department of Musicology at UCLA. My firm represents a juvenile client, [name], who is charged with murder in Ventura County, CA. Among other things, the DA has alleged that [name] committed the offense for the benefit of a criminal street gang, based in part on his interest in the Nardcore punk scene that originated in Oxnard, CA. The police expert relied on drawings of Nardcore logos that [name] possessed, which he stated are indicative of neo-Nazi criminal street gangs.

We need an expert to testify about the Nardcore scene and specifically to what extent it is associated with Neo-Nazism. Barbara from your department indicated that you have expertise in Southern California popular music, and I hope that your expertise extends up the coast as far as Oxnard, or that you can direct me to somebody in California who might be able to help us. Any assistance is very much appreciated.

Regards,

He gets down to NC at least once or twice a year, which is tolerable considering how far we are. And it's nice b/c here there aren't legions of adoring fans, so it's possible to sit down and have a nice chat with Corb and/or Brady.

Yeah, Sue, that was one weird hoax. Gotta love all those "journalists" who picked up a story based on a single blog report.

Help for the musically inattentive? What are the things I should totally have listened to in the past 10 years?

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

What are the things I should totally have listened to in the past 10 years?

Do you want personal favorites or canonical greatest hits of the decade?
