I think that list pretty much sucks. There's a wealth of rock that didn't even get touched.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Only two songs since 1980?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
One of my favorite dudes (Rob Kleiner) in one of my favorite bands (Tub Ring) wrote/produced What Part of Forever with Cee-Lo and now its frikkin' blowing up for him. It's on the new Twilight soundtrack and was performed on Leno last night
I teared up when I heard the whistling, that's Rob. Holy cow, that's Rob.

I think this [link] and similar lists at McSweeny's are far better lists.

Thing I am currently a little disturbed by: this photo of Andrew Eldritch without his sunglasses. I am disturbed because if you took a photo of Pete from the same era and photoshopped black hair onto it, THEY COULD BE BROTHERS.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
He needs to put his glasses back on. Because I am kinda freaked out.

I just got back from a benefit screening of "Girls Rock!", a documentary about the rock camp for girls that's been going on in Portland, OR for the past 10 summers. Highly recommended! The 5 day camp teaches girls ages 8-18 not only how to Rock, but also things like teamwork, self-defense and, most of all, empowerment. It culminates with a concert where all the bands formed during the camp play to a packed club audience of 600 people. The film manages to be entertaining, without being overly preachy and would make an excellent double-feature with Josie & the Pussycats! Also, like J&tP, it's available on Netflix for instant streaming.
The screening was a benefit for a Boston branch of the camp that's starting up later this summer. I (almost) wish I was a girl just so that I could volunteer!

Jon B, that's awesome! We have one here in NC, and from what I understand it's been quite a success. I've never seen the documentary, though, or J&tP.
