Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

He took out a "defensive" copywright on the song (so The Lion Sleeps Tonight didn't happen all over again I guess) and gives away his share of the rights to various Civil Rights orgs.

Apropos of nothing, I have been known to serenade my son with "The Ryan Sleeps Tonight". I regretfully report that the "WHEEEEeeeeEEEEeeee-umumaway" part of the song is counterproductive to the stated purpose.

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

"Rock 'n' Roll is folk music pretty much... cause... it's for folks!"

The commercial that destroyed their credibility.

I regretfully report that the "WHEEEEeeeeEEEEeeee-umumaway" part of the song is counterproductive to the stated purpose.

Try serenading him with "Friday."

That would just be mean. He doesn't get to choose which seat. He gets the child seat, end of discussion.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Speaking of covering the Kinks, my all-time fav Kinks cover is "Days" by Kirsty MacColl.

Hey, Pix sent me that song years ago! I didn't know it was a cover.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I think Pix's musical mission in life is to introduce / make people like Kirsty MacColl. She's good at it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I approve of this mission wholeheartedly.

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

I love Kirsty. Everybody should own Kite.

She also sent me "In These Shoes?" which I also like.

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

Fun, short interview with Bootsy Collins at AVclub.

Do read the comments to see an outpouring of pure Bootsy love and adoration. Dude is beloved. Bootsy's got to be the nicest genius to ever work in music. I remember when Lynda Barry needed an angelic figure in one of her comics and she based it on Bootsy.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Anyone else watching Eurovision? I'm rooting for the Moldovans. Crazy conical hats! A unicycle!
