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.

Nick Cave and Cocteau Twins for Jilli.
Yay Nick Cave, eh on Cocteau Twins. I mean, I like their stuff, but I can't really tell any of it apart.
Danzig
Woooh! Which album? Not that I listen to a lot of Danzig, but I find the whole notion of Danzig to be goofily charming. (I know, I know, I'm kind of strange.)

And more importantly: The Cure! David Bowie! Duran Duran! Queensryche for Operation: Mindcrime (wow, I really want to read that book!
Holy crap, someone submitted Fall Out Boy. (Under The Cork Tree.)

Huh. Ple, did you know this?
Damn, I didn't. That's a right shame.

I'll be over here, twitching, remembering 1990.
Hey! Look! Hall! Oates! (STILL AWESOME.)

An excellent choice from their albums, though I'd love to read one about Folie A Deux as well.
I'm excited by Whatever and Ever Amen and Very (two well-loved albums of my youth), John Mayer, and Jimmy Eat World appearing on that list. And hey, if someone writes the Kanye West one, maybe I can figure out why everyone is loving 808 and Heartbreak so much, and whether I should care too.

I don't think so. He's dean of his program for the next year, and probably too busy to think about writing a book.
Woooh! Which album?
First one, I think, although I believe he intends to talk about the Misfits, too, if they select his book.

808 and Heartbreak
It took a few listens, but I'm really loving this record right now. It's such a personal, sad record - I just want to hug his neck (as my mother likes to say). He lost his mom and broke up with his long-time girlfriend/fiancee last year and it certainly shows in this collection of songs. Don't get me wrong, it's probably my least favorite Kanye record, but I love that he did something different and I think it works well. Like Pitchfork said, after all the great music Kanye's given us, he's earned the right to do a record for himself. I don't often agree with Pitchfork, but I liked this.

Is that a twitch for 1990 in general, or about O:M? Because I luuuurves O:M.
