How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

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.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Help find a song? Cleolinda is driving herself mad trying to find a particular cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart". Kind of electronica, and a female vocalist. Cleolinda swears it was some sort of one-word name like Bjork.

I already checked with her, and it wasn't the Nouvelle Vague cover.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

So it wasn't these guys then?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The iTunes store has hundreds of versions of that song, likely candidates include:

  • Philistine
  • Evelyn Evelyn
  • Squarepusher
  • Broken Social Scene
  • June Taybor & Oysterband
  • Damhnait Doyle
  • Nana Wang
  • Kiki and Herb

OK, it's probably not Kiki and Herb, but now I want to hear that version.

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

Swans? They have two versions. Both are awesome.

I will pass the names onto her and see if any of them are the one. Thanks!

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

Dag, The Great Lost Kinks Album (1973) is aptly named.

If Colin Meloy ever did an album this good he could retire.

Also, I think the Kinks are ripe for a Gothic cover band with songs like "Wicked Annabella" and "Little Miss Queen of Darkness."

I've pimped them before, but Wild Flag were on Letterman last night and were very very good. [link]

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

Huh. As it turns our I do have the "bongo version" of Kate Bush's "December Will Be Magic Again."

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

This is brilliant. [link]

And I'm not saying this just because I'm on strong anti-fever-and-cold meds. I hope.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I concur. I really like the album a lot.
