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.
DavidS may have already posted this here. I went back a bit and didn't see anything, but...given the subject matter.

Baseball-themed songs by Steve Wynn (The Dream Syndicate, Danny & Dusty, solo), Peter Buck (REM), Linda Pitmon (Miracle 3, Golden Smog), and Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows, Venus 3, REM).
Free download and keep checking because apparently they'll be updating it as the season goes along.
OMG, Raymond Gorman (That Petrol Emotion) just friended me on Facebook.
I'm full of fangirlly adrenalin right now!!!
Anyone else? Anyone want to be suggested as a friend for him?
Too crazy to expect that anyone would have the pretty terrible but crucial to my freshman year of high school musical experience song "Escalator of Life" by Philly new wave band Robert Hazard & the Heroes, right? But does anyone have it?

Thanks, Jon. Now why couldn't I google that up? One of my cousins actually had it too. God bless Facebook!
Man is it ever a song of its time!
Bieber slowed down 800% is EPIC [link]
For friends and fans of John Lurie, there’s a disturbing article in the current issue of The New Yorker. The title of the piece is ‘Sleeping With Weapons’ and it’s a strange and sad tale. John has been in hiding for the past 18 months to avoid a former friend who is supposedly stalking him. In addition, he has a mysterious illness that has kept him a virtual prisoner in his apartment for the past six years, until now.
(The full text of the New Yorker article is not online)
Wow, I'd wondered what happened to him. He just seemed to vanish. And I guess he did.
