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.

eta: Oh, and Best Album Art of All Time

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
What I learned from that: Wired readers tend to like shitty music and art that belongs on the side of a 1978 Econoline.

Because books.
I don't think Bowie or Coltrane qualify as shitty music.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
What I learned from that:
Wired readers and writers don't listen to female artists.
I would argue for The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. [link]

Thus the use of "tend".

Top 10: Ranking the best cars songs
8. "Bitchin' Camaro," Dead Milkmen
How did a song that includes a two-minute dialog about going to the shore and seeing a Doors cover band make it on our list? We're not entirely sure, but we dare you to listen to it and not want to do doughnuts on your neighbor's lawn.
...
And of course:
1. "Little Red Corvette," Prince
"Little Red Corvette" isn't the only song to equate a woman with a car, but it is probably one of the most blatantly sexual of those songs. Fortunately, Prince was smart enough to disguise the references just enough to get the song past the censors. Despite the innuendo, "Little Red Corvette" is still considered one of Prince's biggest hits and was often the first song that came to mind when we asked people to name their favorite car song.
Too bad they didn't include Robert Johnson's "Terraplane Blues"....
eta: I think I read somewhere that "Terraplane Blues" was the first song to us a car as a sexual metaphor. Does that make sense?

So I downloaded a compilation album that has the song "Sunspots" by Julian Cope that I totally love. Apparently this was released as a single (but not on an album) in 1985.
So what's a good album by Julian Cope? Also, I know he was in Teardrops Explode but I'm not very familiar with that band - what's a good album by them?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
World Shut Your Mouth is Julian's first and (I think) best solo album.
I like Kilimanjaro of the Teardrop albums.
But also checkout Julian's website which has tons of amazing reviews and writing. He's personally responsible for the popular rediscovery of Krautrock, among other tastemaker achievements.
I love his Glamrocksampler.
