Okay, finally actually listening-listening to all of 1372 Overton Park (yeah, yeah) and wow. Did Ben fall in love with The Hold Steady while I wasn't looking? Not that I'm complaining, but two songs made me double-take.
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.
Could you conjure me a sexay man with your mind?

There's a new Robyn Hitchcock album on the way that features Johnny Marr on one track. He co-wrote the song, too.
Very cute Marr-less video: [link]
I've been mostly Pogues-less since I switched away from cassette tapes, but now eMusic has added the Pogues, so I've acquired If I Should Fall From Grace With God and Rum Sodomy & The Lash.
If anything, I love these albums more now than I did before, back in my 20s. And I gotta say "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is by my favorite anti-war song.

I hadn't realised the Pogues had covered that. I played it (the original) when I visited Gallipoli. It's a pretty powerful song.
Who did it originally? I'm only familiar with the Pogues version.
Is it an Eric Bogle song? My favorite Irish pub in New Orleans used to play it.

Yep, Eric Bogle. He's a Scottish-born Australian folk singer.
