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.

1. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars 2. Scary Monsters 3. Aladdin Sane
For those who remember those ads where they offered to turn your lyrics into completed songs or for folks who are fans of "The Beat of the Traps" compilations, PBS aired a doc on them called:
Off the Charts: The Poem-Song Industry
It's a Hulu link so I apologize to non-United Statesians.
I found it pretty interesting.
I am praying for a NOLA MCR date after the New Year.
In other bandom news, Patrick Stump continues to tease.
Patrick is a naughty l'il bitch.
Anyone watching the MTV webcast tonight?
Spidra, that Song-Poem Anthology from a few years back (Do You Know The Difference Between Big Wood And Brush?) was pretty amazing.
