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.

I'm hedging my bets and hoping for a Columbus date, rather than Cleveland. I hope it doesn't sell out in the meantime.

There's no way I'm making it to NYC on 12/3, so I've got until May to wait to see them in Philly. ::weeps::

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Hit Amoeba H'wood today. Last time I did that, I didn't buy a thing. I was good. I just consigned my album and left. Today I tried looking around to familiarize myself with the store and to see if there was anything I'd find inspiring. I've spent way too little time finding out about new music. And I haven't been able to afford music in so long that my want list in my head kinda dried up. I'm sure I looked like a deer in the headlights.
I ended up walking out with a NY City Opera production of Der Silbersee (The Silverlake). I owned it on LP but should move up to CD/digital. I also bought a Naxos CD of selections from "Der Weg der Verheissung" (The Eternal Road). I'm a little iffier on that since I couldn't remember which period of Weill's it was from.
Damn my eyes. I'm seeing Der Silbersee in my iTunes so I *must* have bought the CD set before. Grr.
EDIT: Oh yay! I had the German language production but not the English one. Phew.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm bored.
For my first 3 semesters of college I was obsessed with David Bowie. (Then I got into the Velvet Underground, but that's a different story.)
So, favorite Bowie albums? My top five ten would be:
1:
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
2:
Hunky Dory
3:
Scary Monsters
4:
Diamond Dogs
5:
Let's Dance
6:
Aladdin Sane
7:
Heroes
8:
Low
9:
Lodger
10:
Space Oddity
If I had done this list 25 years ago, I think Heroes and Low would be much higher on my list.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Intriguing listing, tommy.
Hunky Dory is probably my favorite though I admit I've been focusing on Bowie As Songwriter for a while now, and that's one of his strongest and most varied collections of songs.
How about The Man Who Sold the Earth? Station to Station?
And the Venture Brothers makes a case for Hours.

Those would probably be my 11th and 12th.
But it was really hard to put that list in order. Even now I'm not sure of it. Possibly The Man Who Sold the World and Station to Station belong ahead of Space Oddity.
Eta: It's The Man Who Sold the World. I bet you were confusing the title with The Man Who Fell to Earth (which I must rewatch some day).
