'Sleeper'


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.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I don't know if this should go here or Movies, but damn, I can't find a soundtrack for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and I'd been hoping to get my hands on a modern noir detective score. It's not like John Ottman doesn't have other music out there.

So, that said, any good noir music beyond Bohren and Der Club of Gore?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Jon, you’ve sold me on Eux Autres. Which album do I start with?

Hmmm... "Hell Is Eux Autres" is their first. Probably their most raw. "Broken Bow", their third album, has its raw moments, but also has some great pop songwriting with tunes like "You're Alight".

It's all on Bandcamp, so you can try before you buy! [link]

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My head is mashing up Children of the Revolution with Don't Look Back in Anger.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Neatorama sez:

Vancouver musician Michelle Kwan plays the ghuzeng, or Chinese zither. She spent years playing classical music, but is now getting noticed for using the instrument for pop music. At the YouTube page, she is taking requests! -via Daily Picks and Flicks

Eta: The song is "Sweet Child o' Mine."

It's pretty amazing.

Ann, that's a ferret.

The other day, I heard an acoustic version of Men at Work's "Overkill." Just Colin Hay (I assume it was him -- the vocal sounded the same as the hit version) and a guitar. It blew me away. Lost some of the energy, but really captured that feeling you have when it's 3:00 in the morning and you can't sleep and your mind dwells on everything bad, humiliating, or anxiety-producing that ever happened or will happen.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I love that song - ever since high school. Probably their best song. I can't listen to it before sundown.

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

When I went to Kenyon for my reunion this summer, the 80s cover band did "Overkill." Great to hear it live.

What happens when a hardcore band doesn't pay their audio engineer?

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

There's no such thing as bad publicity?
