Ooh, that camp looks fantastic!! And I will totally be in Boston while it's running. If I, you know, could play an instrument or had a band or something, I'd totally volunteer. It seems like a great, great program.
Why couldn't Giles have shackles like any self-respecting bachelor?

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.

zuisa, there are many volunteer opportunities that don't involve knowing how to play an instrument. If you're serious, you should get in touch with the organizers! [link]

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
My cousin was a big participant in that camp, and now teaches at it. It's pretty awesome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Here is our engladdening summer song for today: "Glad Girls" by Guided by Voices.
It will cheer you up.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That is an engladdening song!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I love that their first idea was to be an Alan Parsons Project cover band.

This seems to be the source of the Turds of Misery bio. A thousand other blogs and websites have already quoted from it as though it's gospel, but I can't help reading it as a joke the writer made up. I mean, I'm sure the photo is legitimate, but I'm suspicious of the bio.
