That is quite possibly the most EPIC thing I have ever seen on teh interwebs. It needs to live forever and ever on my iPod.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The universe loves me so much that after I watched that video and then got in my car to go to the store the song was playing on my car radio.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I LOVE the Muppet Rhapsody! I laughed and I cried.
Now I have a question regarding Lady GaGa's Poker Face. The chorus (can't read my, cant'r read my, blah-blah-blah blah blah Poker face) sounds like another song to me. Possibly one that might have played in a club on Queer as Folk. Or possibly when I frequented gay bars in the 90's. My google can only tell me that other people think the same thing. Anyone here know?

Ann, that's a ferret.
I hadn't thought of it, Sophia, but maybe Crystal Waters's "She's Homeless"? It has a la-la-la-la chorus that isn't too unlike "puh-puh-puh-poker face."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So I'm reading a short interview with Michael Brown of The Left Banke.
(Did you know he wrote "Walk Away Renee," "Pretty Ballerina," and "She May Call You Up Tonight" about the same unrequited love? That she later went on to become an opera singer? Did you know he had a huge crush on Mary Weiss, lead singer of the Shangri-Las and wrote a song about her with the group Montage titled "I Shall Call Her Mary"?)
From the interview:
EDEN: Was there really a lot & a one way sign that you would pass by every day?
BROWN: The sign was on Falmouth street in Brooklyn, & the lot was on the corner of Falmouth & Hampton Ave. We used to play in there when we were little children & have praying Mantises drop on our hands, they were the most beautiful creatures you could imagine.
*********
So I looked up Falmouth & Hampton in Brooklyn and it's in Manhattan Beach. And when you pull back on the map you see it's next to Brighton Beach (Neil Simon, Woody Allen). And then the next neighborhood over is Coney Island and there's Mermaid Avenue (Woody Guthrie, Wilco, Billy Bragg).
I'm love seeing pop culture through Google Maps.

Interesting recent interview with Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
After playing some metal xmas songs for my next door neighbors they urged me to check out Steel Panther's "Community Property."
Which I dedicate to Jilli and Cass and anybody else with a hair metal past.
(Not exactly work safe as the power ballad lyric goes: "Well my heart belongs to you/ Yeah my heart belongs to you / but my cock's community property...")

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
This has been around for a couple of years, but I hadn't seen it. Day-umm, Prince can play guitar: [link]
I'm linking to Bill Janovitz's post because his commentary nails it.
