It's a Paramore soap opera! [link]
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.
Wowza. That's something. I have a couple of Paramore CDs but never followed anything that happened with the band.
The comments on that are more soap opera than the blog post itself. And I thought I was upset when Dave Gregory left XTC...
I'm working on my annual xmas comp (late as usual). I had several themes in mind but decided to go with songs about the telephone, that take place on the telephone or use telephone metaphors (and I went with that rather than some of my other ideas because before I knew it, I had made more paid downloads than I could justify doing for research I wasn't going to use). I haven't put them in their final order yet. And there might be some weeding.
