Lost in the Grooves doesn't crack the Top 20 Music Books of All Time - but it does rate an honorable mention.
Surely it is no coincidence that this book has more Buffistas per square inch than any other ever published.

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.
Which version of "Head On" is better? The original by The Jesus and Mary Chain, or the cover by the Pixies?
I like the Pixies version better. It seems odd to me that the Pixies covered a song that was only two years old - apparently their record label pressured them into doing the cover.

I like the Pixies version better, too.

Robyn Hitchcock's last album, Propeller Time is getting some very good reviews. (I type this as I watch "Sex, Food, Death and Insects" on cable, and they're talking about Nashville in the winter and Arthur Kane.)

Ooh, I'll have to keep an eye out for that. Has it been released yet?

OK, I'm posting something from Wonkette in music... but this is just weird:
Happy 40th Anniversary Eve, Kent State Massacre … DEVO Was There
Liz Glover just sent us this morbid reminder: “Tomorrow is the 40th Anniversary of the Kent State Massacre. Here’s my interview with a couple of the members of Devo who witnessed it.”
Did we know DEVO’s Jerry Casale was a member of SDS who watched the whole horrible quadruple murder of Kent State anti-war protesters back in 1970? It is difficult to keep track of everything weird & awful in our Recent American History. Anyway ….
Anybody know this?

Yeah, that was one of the major events leading up to the idea for devolutionary people.

Yeah, I knew Casale had been there. Also he was in a Kent, OH band with Chrissie Hynde (Jackrabbit). Joe Walsh is also from Kent.

I am trying to identify an image that I think I am remembering from an album cover. a drawing of a figure with either a dunce hat or jester style hat on, possibly blind folded. I am think it is mostly a line drawing like pencil or pen and ink.
