Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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.

Am listening to Styx's The Grand Illusion.

I'm listening to it for sentimental reasons. What I find interesting is how straightforward the lyrics are. Pretty much just one obvious interpretation for everything.

News from my Harvard librarian FAQWife:

Harvard needs to replace its copy of David Smay's book [Swordfishtrombones] because it's being borrowed so frequently.

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

Sweet!

Clearly we need a hardcover edition.

If there are any Floyd fans about, someone has remade Dark Side of the Moon in 8-bit fashion. It's...interesting. Here's the first cut

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

That's kind of awesome. Not quite as awesome as Dub Side of the Moon, but then, what is?

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

Add Bob Pollard to the list of unlikely high school sports stars. (Along with Gordon Gano and Brian Wilson.)
