Oh, goddamnit.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That is cool.
eta: Now I'm going to have to listen to that album in its entirety, as soon as the new Laura Veirs is done playing. (I like the new Veirs so far.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Oooh! Tom gave me a shiny new productivity killer.
This is my other new one. [link]
Did we know that Alison Krauss covered 9 to 5?

Ann, that's a ferret.

No. How about that both the B-52s and Dolly Parton covered "Downtown" (the Petula Clark song)?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I just learned that Echo and the Bunnymen covered All You Need is Love.
I swear I could be on that site for days. Covers are my favorite genre.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I did a little more browsing. I think my favorite "Huh?" combination is the Lettermen cover of "Light My Fire."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I found a cool Fratellis cover of All Along the Watchtower and Michael Jackson doing Come Together.
Seriously Second Hand Songs + YouTube= Happy DJ for the rest of the afternoon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I've been putting together a play list that I've been calling either Id Girls or Bad Influences, depending on my mood--songs by female vocalists being up front about wanting what they want and/or living how they want to.
Here's what I have so far:
I Want Candy--Bow Wow Wow
Bad Reputation--Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Come On- Josie & The Pussycats
Summer Girl-Jessica Andrews
I Need A Lover-Pat Benatar
I Want That Man-Deborah Harry
Rehab-Amy Winehouse
Bad Influence-Pink
Sin Wagon- Dixie Chicks
Physical-- Olivia Newton-John
Still Dirrty--Christina Aguilera
Legend of a Cowgirl--Imani Coppola
Don't Call Me Baby- Madison Avenue
hey now (girls just wanna have fun)- Cyndi Lauper
Nasty-Janet Jackson
Shoop-Salt-N-Pepa
These boots were made for walking--Nancy Sinatra
Sexual Revolution-Macy Gray
Sex (I'm A...)- Berlin
I Want To Come Over- Melissa Etheridge
Anyone have any other suggestions?

Ann, that's a ferret.
I Touch Myself -- Divinyls
I Need a Man -- Eurythmics
I'm not sure these exactly qualify as Id or Bad, but certainly women singing about living how they want to:
You Don't Own Me -- Lesley Gore
I Am Woman -- Helen Reddy
Also, in other music news (heard on the radio, so I don't have a link), apparently Quincy Jones is trying to put together a new version of "We Are the World" to benefit Haiti earthquake relief.
