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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Does J still work there?

Hmm, I don't know! I don't know the names of any of the people there; we've only been a few times so far. (Should I know who J is?)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

(Should I know who J is?)

Eh, I'll email you. Too complicated without naming names.

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

Kathy, I haven't heard Setzer's version. I should check that out. Duke Ellington does a swing version of the Nutcracker too, but I actually prefer the Shorty Rogers.

thanks, David!

You're welcome! I'll just note that mix is available on Buffistarawk. Also my Power Pop xmas mix.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I still get a kick out of Trans-Siberian Orchestra's "Christmas / Sarajevo 12/24."

B. hasn't stopped playing the Phil Spector Christmas Album since I got it out of the box.

(He's seven, so I'm not going to be broaching falls from grace any time soon. The music is great).

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

B can't be seven already!!!!

Where has the time gone?

Hec, the Setzer Nutcracker Suite is on the Boogie Woogie Christmas CD, along with his duet of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with Ann-Margret.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I was just reading that the Phil Spector Xmas album originally was released on Nov. 23, 1963. Bad luck!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I'm Jewish, but I got the best Christmas gift yesterday (it's already the morning of the 25th here).

The Pixies will come to Israel on June 9th.

It took me about 20 minutes to grasp it. At first, I thought this isn't real. Nothing that big in the alternative-arena ever got here recently. It's fantastic, in every meaning of the word. I still can't believe that's happening - if my summer will contain only this and Twilight Singers shows, it'll suffice for years, trust me.

I now only crossing my fingers for the next things not to happen: production's mess up on the Israeli side, yet another break of the band, and the x-annual war.

This is huge. I really, really didn't think I'll have the chance to see them here, or perhaps at all.

Horrible new to wake up to on Xmas morning:

Vic Chesnutt, RIP [link]

I just saw him perform two months ago!
