In hello, I am a teenage goth girl news: tickets for the Seattle date of the next Emilie Autumn tour go on sale in 40 minutes! (I did check with her manager to see if I could be put on the list for the VIP pass, but no. Which, fine, I'll buy a ticket, they've already arranged for me to do another interview with her and be sent the new album for review. Whee!
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm supposed to believe Nas is holding Kelis's wedding dress here: [link] Nuh uh.

He talked about it on Colbert, but I don't think it was from her wedding dress. In any case, he said it was part of a dress left behind in the closet when she moved out.

He's claiming it's her wedding dress. I think it's odd no one points out that that's not even a dress, let alone the wedding dress in their photos.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Random: I just downloaded The Blue Aeroplanes' Huh! The Best Of... 1987-1992. I didn't own anything by The Blue Aeroplanes before, but a friend of mine was into them. And I had completely forgotten how much I love the song "You (Are Loved)". I had it on a compilation tape I made about 23 years ago.
So, um... another example of online music stores enabling me to easily find stuff I was into decades ago.

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

It's the Long Tail, baby!
That's an interesting period in British music with all the indie rock going on before Brit Pop.
My personal fav from that era would be "Hey Now" by the Perfect Disaster. A hot rocking slab of VU two chord riffage.
eta: In my mind this is part of a sub-genre of songs I think of as Children of Sister Ray, which includes things like Jonathan Richman's "Roadrunner" and Vulgar Boatmen's "Drive Somewhere." Might be more apt to call them Son of "Foggy Notion" as that's an even more exact VU reference for that kind of song.
Ha! I looked up "Foggy Notion" on YouTube and there are covers there by the Vulgar Boatmen and Modern Lovers.

I luvs me some Long Tail!
Wait, that doesn't sound right....
I'll have to listen to that link after I finish this album.
Anyone have any opinions on Kitchens of Distinction?

Oh, did I mention here that it was my love of VU and "Sister Ray" that got me into Joy Division? Back in '85 a DJ friend of mine knew how much I was into VU and he said, "You gotta hear this cover of 'Sister Ray' that Joy Division does."
It was about two years later when I finally heard "Love Will Tear Us Apart." Which I also love to death.

All good things spring from the VU. I didn't get into "Love Will Tear Us Apart" really until I saw the video. Something about watching Peter Hook play the famous bassline made it click for me in a way it hadn't before.
"Transmission" is probably my favorite Joy Division song, though I like the more punkish/Stoogesy "Warsaw" too.

I got into it when I was... chemically altered. One of those "stay up all night talking and listening to music" deals. I was earwormed with that song for days, in a good way.
My love for Bauhaus started in a similar way. Except there was also dancing. In an empty room with a boombox.
