Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It really was. Even in concert footage, you get some sense of the crowd, and this didn't. Still, good times.

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

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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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.

I've got a few Bowie covers I like.

Dana Gillespie covering "Andy Warhol." (Possible cheat as Bowie wrote it for her first, he produced it and that's Ronson on guitar. But I prefer it to Bowie's version.)

Despite the 80s production and drums I like Marti Jones version of "Soul Love."

Richard Barone's cover of "The Man Who Sold The Earth" influenced Nirvana's cover on Unplugged.

Lulu covered "Watch That Man" - again, another Bowie production with Ronno on guitar.

How about Bowie covering Springsteen?
