Frank Turner is on Conan tonight. In about... a minute eastern time. Worth checking out.

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.
OK, that was weird, seeing them on television. I've seen them... six or seven times live. [Edit: Eight!] Frank's voice sounded really tight.
I still love them.
It really was. Even in concert footage, you get some sense of the crowd, and this didn't. Still, good times.
Not a musician, but Vin Diesel is also a huge D&D fan.
And the actor Jeff Daniels created his own fantasy baseball game.
Bowie's always been a geek, though. He was with a traveling Mime troupe for two years, whilst playing super twee folk music with his girlfriend Hermione in a folk group named Feathers and read science fiction and fantasy.
I'm all "Mumford & Sons like carrots!" today.
LeN, I love you for bringing us the A.V Club, because that cover was awesome, as is Lucero covering Bowie's "Modern Love". [link]
I just. BEN.
ZOMG. :: flails:: I love Rick Steff so much, I can't even. And Todd and Roy and John C and no, I dont know why they're missing Brian and I don't care. Diva lead guitarist. I need to find an mp3 of that.
you know, I have a long standing belief that people shouldn't cover Bowie songs, but that came really really close to changing my mind.
