Have I mentioned how much I love Bone Machine?
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?
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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.

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

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!

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....

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.

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.

So, when it comes to music, what to you appreciate more, the music or the lyrics? For me, the music tends to grab me much more (most of the time, anyway). I was thinking about this while listening to "Libertine" by Utopia. When I first heard that song on the radio, I became obsessed with it - the music really moved me, even though I thought the lyrics were just so-so. I still really like the music....

I tend to go for music, but when I catch lyrics that say something, they can grab me too (over pro forma music). But music definitely catches me first.
