To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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.

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

She's a Boston institution now. Like Willie Ålexander and Mission of Burma.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Which I think would be more cognitive dissonance.

True dat.

I thought Amanda Palmer had already done something with the Boston Pops.

Huh. I missed reading about that when it happened. Still, it's the New Year's Eve part that gets me as much as the Pops thing.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I heart AFP. That is all.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Willie Ålexander

When did he get the ring above the A? Is that like a Boston Knighthood?

It's a halo. He's the Sainted Willie Alexander now.

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

No, it's where you attack the little hook to turn his name into a Christmas tree ornament.

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

It was the decade of the beard.

A point brought up every time I buy something at Amoeba.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Huh. I missed reading about that when it happened. Still, it's the New Year's Eve part that gets me as much as the Pops thing.

Last year I saw her on New Year's Eve at Bowrey Ballroom. Well, it was early New Year's Day as it started at 2:00 am.

I rang in the New Year its self by nearly knocking over a just-tattooed Andy Hurley and getting a (granted, chaste) kiss from one of the Fuck City boys. This immediately rendered me a Scene Kid though I am neither scene nor a kid.
