Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

Discussion Threads

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

"Gotta make my mind up," she sings, overjoyed to finally exert some control over her fate; "Which seat can I take?"

Yet here the discerning viewer notes that something is wrong. Because it is a simple matter of fact that in this car all the good seats have already been taken. For Rebecca Black (her name here would seem to evoke Rosa Parks, a mirroring that will only gain in significance) there is no actual choice, only the illusion of choice.

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

Communism, Hypnotism and the Beatles

Sadly, just an image of the cover of this (I assume) fascinating book.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

My sister just bought Friday from iTunes. I have created a monster.

Attention Bubblegum Aficionados (yes, I'm looking in a Hecubot direction): Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub) and Euros Childs (Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci) have a new project called "Jonny" that is bubbletastic! You can stream the whole album for free here: [link]

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

Thanks, Jon, that looks fantastic!

I've always loved Norman's gummier projects.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Rebecca Black's "Friday" as radical text

Brilliant.

Her cultural debt is less to Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles than Vicki the robot girl from Small Wonder

Holy crap, that's who she reminds me of.

And why, after speaking her name, does he talk not of the front seat, but the front side, known slang for female genitalia?

wait, what?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I love this article from the Village Voice.

How many of the number 1 hits of Boyz II Men can you name? They have had 5. VV asked 15 music critics and none could name all 5.

Guess before you click:

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

How many of the number 1 hits of Boyz II Men can you name?

I have no doubt that Jesse can win this game.

I can only think of two off the top of my head. "MotownPhilly" and "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye."

eta: Well, shit, I didn't get any right. But "MotownPhilly" is still their greatest song.
