Oh, man. Teddy Pendergrass died? Sad.

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.
Yep, so I've got the Blue Notes on rotation tonight. Sublime.
Teddy Pendergrass, too.
I'd heard he was not well a while ago. Damn.
So, eMusic has just added a whole bunch of music to their catalog, including... Echo and the Bunnymen. I have Crocodiles and Porcupine. What are other essential Echo albums?

Ocean Rain has some of my favorite songs on it (especially The Killing Moon). That and Porcupine are my favorite albums.
I need to check out more EatB. I love The Killing Moon, but don't know much else. I, uh, missed out on a lot during my NKOTB phase.
I was going to say whichever albums have "Do It Clean" and "The Cutter", but that's Crocodiles and Porcupine, so there you go!
In related news, I rebought the Nouvelle Vague CDs (lost the first set on a loan that ended badly), plus they have a third one out I didn't have. I love their version of "The Killing Moon".
Oh, and Neil Young is on eMusic now. You can download all of Decade (a triple-album) for only 12 credits, which depending on your plan could only be $6!
(If someone wants to sign up for eMusic, let me know, so I can get credit. Um, please.)
Possibly Hec and others might appreciate this:
In 1967, Nancy Sinatra had her own one hour television spectacular unlike any of the other variety shows of the time. It was basically a series of music videos where she lip-synced along to her hits, wearing mod outfits and go-go boots. We approve. Special guests included Dean Martin, Frankie, Lee Hazelwood and Sammy Davis Jr. You can catch more '60s inspired madness over at the WFMU Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban blog and webstream.
