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.
Restaurant I am in was on a good run of music and the "Erotic City" came on. I thought: I have never heard this song played in a public space that wasn't a club. I wonder how long this song will be on.
Not long. Didn't make it past the first verse
Back in '85 I worked at a pizza place in Madison. Most of the employees there loved the Violent Femmes song "Add it Up", so we'd play it on the restaurant stereo all the time. When it got to the bad words, all us employees would loudly clear our throats.
Eventually someone played it when the place was quiet, and our manager heard the lyrics and banned the song.
eta: Once a Madison radio station played the King Missile song "Martin Scorsese", which has a huge number of fucks in it. The DJ tried to bleep them out, but he was only catching about half of them. So a minute into the song he cut it off.
I waited my whole life for just one . . .
. . . Day after day
HMV is bankrupt: [link]
One of the two HMV shops in town is already closing, I wonder if the other will too.
HMV was still around? The ones in MA closed years ago.
Hey, Buffistas! This is just a drive-by boast to say that I'm going to start taking guitar lessons from Richard Lloyd via Skype tomorrow. Expecting either polite scorn or drunken tirades, and I don't really care which way it goes.

Whoa! Who knew that was a thing? How're you doing, Hayden?
