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.

Yes, Milo is apparently a biochemist: [link]
I find it fascinating, having lived through two PhDs (one successful, mr. flea's, one not, mine) that anyone could combine such a thing with a rock band career. I mean, talk about varying talents!

Graeme Downes of the New Zealand band The Verlaines has a PhD in Musicology, which is a little bit more understandable.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

There aren't a lot of doctor rockers. Whereas there used to be a long tradition of doctor/poets.

I saw the Dream Syndicate open for U2. Precoda made a mighty noise. He would've made the Jesus and Mary Chain proud. Just walls of sonic fuzz.
