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.
Two changes --
(1) Move Cheap Trick to Rockford-Madison, where they really were from, and
(B) Move the Buckinghams up to #14.
It's the 30th anniversary of the death of Ian Curtis. I've listened to 2 Joy Division songs in a row and I have totally regressed angry teen angst. [link]
Sue, KEXP has been playing Joy Division and contemporaries all morning. I, too, am totally regressing.
Have some video with your despair: Joy Division playing "Transmission" and "She's Lost Control" live.
Side Note: My favorite songs about radio and it's ability to connect people across space and distance. The oddly magical communal thing.
"Transmission" - Joy Division
"Road Runner" - Jonathan Richman
"Mohammed's Radio" - Warren Zevon
"Radio Free Europe" - REM
"Caravan" - Van Morrison
"Left of the Dial" - Replacements

How about "Rock 'n' Roll" by the Velvet Underground?
"My parents will be the death of us all." - heh.
"Radio Clash", of course.
"Mexican Radio".
Mmmmm.... barbecued iguana....
