Last night's "History Detectives" on PBS had a theremin segment.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Yeah, it was pretty good too!

Thanks, Tom! Sad that the video is just Ann & Kramer. The lead guitarist, Dave Rick, is a *very* old friend. We went to summer camp together as teens!

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
Well, my beloved Bouncing Souls are on Warped Tour and their truck died. Then their merch got stolen... madness.
The cool thing about this video, however, is their singer Greg's unflappable zen. [link]
(And, no, he's not high. If it were the drummer he'd be high.)

I probably should have been pimping my column at Dog Canyon to y'all before now. This week, I'm writing on Laurie Anderson: [link]
Prior weeks have had the Louvin Brothers, the Fall, and the Go-Betweens.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This quote from Prince has been all over the place:
The internet’s completely over. I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They won’t pay me an advance for it and then they get angry when they can’t get it. The internet’s like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and that can’t be good for you.
Crap - I have too many numbers in my head....
Oh, I read elsewhere that he's shut down his web site.

He's so reliably wacky. Points for consistency!

Hey everyone. I haven't popped my head in here in a long, long time. I'm doing so because this morning Amazon spammed me to buy David's Tom Waits book, and it reminded me that I still play the Sugar Shock tape in the car all the time for the kids, and I need to beg for a tracklisting so I can make a CD of it before it tape decks disappear forever...
The Prince thing is great - Tony Parsons is on the front of one of the UK papers saying it's a return to form and his best album in 23 years, but they always say that and it hasn't been true since - to be generous - Lovesexy
