Jarvis Cocker guest DJ at the BBC.
Very interesting and eclectic mix. Good listening. Starting with Tim Rose's "Snowed In" to clips of Stephen Fry audiobooks to a discussion of the blandness of American cheese.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

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.

Vic Chesnutt fans, the local Athens indy paper has a ton of stories and reminiscinces about him. [link] It turns out he lived in my neighborhood and used to play with (among many other people) my daughter's public school computer teacher. It's kind of amazing how every other person in this town is so connected to the music scene and each other.

I ... am not enthused about that soundtrack. No. I think I will wait for the score, which will no doubt be by Danny Elfman.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

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