No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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.

Art Crawl!!!

I've go World Cafe on the radio: they played new REM which sounds all anthemy and now they're playing some new band which sounds like something from Reckoning.

ETA: It was new Decembrists. Now they're playing some old REM "Talk about the Passion."

Because books.

If it was The Decemberists' "Down By the Water," it's got such a Springsteen feel to me at the start.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Newsflash: Rock and Roll is dead.

Again? Man, it's tough when the fate of an entire genre rests on the shoulders of Florence and the Machine.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Newsflash: Billboard Singles are irrelevant.

Amy - I think that was it - because it did sound Springsteenish at the beginning and then all jangly guitars afterwards. (You know what I mean.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

From the Chicago Tribune: Top 10: Ranking the best cars songs

I do love "Red Barchetta." "I Can't Drive 55" sucks. "Bitchin' Camaro" is awesome. "Low Rider" is cool.

They rank "Little Red Corvette" as #1, which I agree with. But they neglect Big Star's "Big Black Car," as well as "Hot Rod Lincoln."

eta: Oh yeah, Robert Johnson's "Terraplane Blues" definitely belongs in that list. Like at #2 or so.
