I'd always wondered that! Knowing may be half the battle, but knowing buffistas will win it!
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Classic Photos of Jazz Musicians From The Library of Congress
Over at Flickr, the US Library of Congress just posted some amazing, copyright-free photos of jazz musicians taken by William P. Gottlieb that document the “Golden Age of Jazz” in New York City and Washington, D.C. from 1938 to 1948.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I'm so grateful for those libraries and museums that are uploading stuff to Flickr. Those photos are great but they're just the tip of the iceberg of amazing stuff that's out there.
Last night I was talking to my new acquaintance about country. I used to think I hated country, too. And that was before country became middle-of-the-road rock with a cowboy hat. So today I've been poring through YouTube trying to find her examples of the real deal. So far I've linked her to Bob Wills, Hank Williams, Maddox Brothers & Rose, Buck Owens & the Buckaroos, The Delmore Brothers and a couple more.

Fun! I thought of all our geek and gamer girls here.

MCR ALBUM RELEASE DATE: 11/22
So, right after my birthday. No title yet. Aaaand the text from Rolling Stone about it:
Title TBD 11/22
My Chemical Romance had nearly finished a dark Stooges influenced LP when frontman Gerard Way came to an important realization: He hated it. "We were just trying to be America's young rock band," he recalls. "We did that, and what came back was boring." They scrapped the record and started over, writing and recording a new set of songs, mostly synth-happy, technicolor pop tunes, complete with an unabashed dance beat on "Planetary (GO!)." Like the band's last album, 2006's Black Parade, the new disc has a unifying conceit: It's supposed to be a transmission from a post-apocalyptic radio station in 2019. "It's a party record," says Way. "The scariest thing was to admit to ourselves that we wanted to have a good time." Way is particularly fond of the obnoxiously catchy opening track, "Na Na Na." "It's the pop-punk 'Hey Ya,'" he says. "It sounds like a big gang of children yelling. It's dumb as fuck, really."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That doesn't really sound promising, but I guess it's all in the execution. They'll need some super sugar hooks and singalong choruses to pull off a party album of the apocalypse vibe.

Believe it or not, the MCR boys are really good at hooks and singalong choruses. That's part of what made both "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge" and "The Black Parade" so successful.
