Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

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.

Am listening to Waits' "The Earth Died Screaming." Followed by "Dirt In The Ground."

Have I mentioned how much I love Bone Machine?

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

It's a great album. I gave away one of my Tom Waits bootleg mixes at the showing of Big Time with an easy question related to Bone Machine.

What Tom Waits song was featured prominently in Fight Club?

I don't remember.

A guess: "I don't Wanna Grow Up"?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Have I mentioned how much I love Bone Machine?

There is much to love there. Although it also has the feel of a dead end to me. He couldn't strip his sound down anymore or it would just be him yelling into the microphone.

"Dead end" isn't quite the phrase I'm looking for, but it was road I think he could only travel once. He really had no choice except to add more instruments back into mix.

No bootleg for you!

"Goin' Out West" as they enter the bar and head out to the back to fight.

That would have been my next guess, as that was the "big hit" from the album. But I couldn't think how that would fit with the movie.

I think I need to watch Fight Club again....

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Whenever I listen to the New Pornographers, I end up thinking, "I can't hear Neko! What's the point?"

You need to listen to the songs where she sings lead!

No Neko collection is complete without "Santa Left a Booger in my Stocking" from the ATHF Xmas CD.

Totes!

Neko and Meatwad - what an odd pairing.

ION, I think I need to buy a copy of Game Theory's Tinker To Evers To Chance album. I acquired two songs from that album from somewhere (from someone here?) and lately I've been listening to "Nine Lives To Rigel Five" a lot. Too bad the thing's out of print - on Amazon the cheapest used copy is $35.

Tinker To Evers To Chance

I have that. It was like a "Best of..." Game Theory's catalog is ripe for reissue. I've got most of it on vinyl, but so much is oddly hard to find these days. Until then, there's always mp3 blogs.
