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.
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.

Wow, I'd wondered what happened to him. He just seemed to vanish. And I guess he did.
Thanks, Dana, but theremin-playing kitties are sooooo 2009.
Now on my radio -- a remix of Seals and Crofts, "Summer Breeze," with a light reggae/dancish rhythm track. Doesn't quite work to my ears, but at least whoever remixed it is trying to keep the spirit of the original.
Another board has a Question of the Day for their overnight thread, and last night's was "What song covers do you think were better than the original?"
My two suggestions (after Johnny Cash's "Hurt" and K.D. Lang's "Hallelujah" were already posted by many others) were The Communards "Don't Leave Me This Way" and Bette Midler's "Superstar."
How about Hendrix's cover of "All Along the Watchtower"? I think that's my fave example....
