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]
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Sue, KEXP has been playing Joy Division and contemporaries all morning. I, too, am totally regressing.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How about "Rock 'n' Roll" by the Velvet Underground?
"My parents will be the death of us all." - heh.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
"Radio Clash", of course.
"Mexican Radio".

Dr. Luke is an unstoppable force and the most statistically relevant pop producer in some time... He is the one to blame (or champion, if you'd prefer) for the musical success of Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus, and that glitter-slathered lightning rod, Ke$ha. He can also be congratulated for creating hits--sickly sweet, irrefutably engrossing hits--for Avril Lavigne, Pink, and famous-abroad UK trio Sugababes. His discography is pop writ large. He is a dangerous 36-year-old man.
