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.

Yup, I love that. In fact, I watched it for the first time with you at megan_walker's!!!
One thing that will change once bf moves is having a lot more music in my life (again). Steve likes very few bands (our entire repertoire of overlap consists of Green Day, Radiohead, Bowie and the Roots), and really doesn't like folk music. He's also more likely to have the tv on than the stereo.
Oh, and how did I forget:
The Roots!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Mika, Scissor Sisters, Pink Martini, Travis
I just got back from driving Wallybee around, and was listening to both Scissor Sisters and Mika over the course of the (half-hour) journey. I was in that kind of mood.
I would personally put Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams on the list, but I'm not sure if they're as accessible to American audiences.
Edit: Maybe some Goldfrapp too.

JZ just discovered the Roots on Yo Gabba Gabba and is loving them.
Incidentally, Weezer will also be on Gabba in the upcoming year.
Not a patch on R.E.M. doing "Shiny Happy Monsters" on Sesame Street but okay.

Did Rilo Kiley also do a Yo Gabba Gabba? I know I've seen an adorable YouTube of Jenny Lewis singing with kids.

I stopped working just to listen to that again. Because it's just that awesome.

Well they've got a song just for you, your lovely wife and the glam baby.
