"2000 Light Years From Home"
I love this song. Worth the price of the album, IMO. I also got to see Love & Rockets cover it in concert, which was very, very trippy (both the version and the experience of them doing it).

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.
Another random question: What songs are there about Kurt Cobain? Off the top of my head I can only think of "Androgynous Mind" by Sonic Youth and "Let Me In" by R.E.M.
Is the Patti Smith song "About A Boy" about Cobain?

Is the Patti Smith song "About A Boy" about Cobain?
Yes.
I know I've seen a list of songs about Kurt and Courtney. There's a lot.
Courtney inspired "Bruise Violet" by Babes in Toyland, among other songs.

Huh. More than I'd thought there'd be.
Thanks.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Is the Patti Smith song "About A Boy" about Cobain?
Not on any of those lists: Mary Lou Lord's "Some Jingle Jangle Morning", which, oddly, was also originally titled "About a Boy".
(or maybe not so odd, given Nirvana's "About a Girl")

Mary Lou Lord's "Some Jingle Jangle Morning",
I love that song! I have that CD and an acoustic version on a 45 that I should digitize or find a digital copy of (as I like the acoustic version better).
Twice I was going to see her play Chicago, but both times she canceled to go back into rehab. Don't know what she's up to now....
eta: I loved that song for several years before I found out it was about Kurt. Also, she was the one that Courtney attacked on stage once, right?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
That list left off the Go-Betweens' "When She Sang About Angels."
