Now I know where the Pretty Things got their name from.

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.
Now I know where the Pretty Things got their name from.
Plus, Bowie's song "Oh, You Pretty Things."
My campaign for all Buffistas to see Frank Turner has claimed another victim :) I think Scola makes it five.
Toaster?
I didn’t like it.
Shun!--no, wait. Nope, that's cool. Carry on.
Trudy tried to get me into one of her other bands for years. Still hasn't taken, and, I think, isn't likely to at this point.
I think Tom might have liked it better without some of our charming neighbors.
A documentary with Jerry Granelli on the music for Charlie Brown's Xmas. [link]
I just happen to be going next weekend to see Granelli and a band perform the music live. It's one of the few bit of Xmas music I like.
The MCR greatest hits album was announced, and Gerard showed the cover art he did for it. [link]
Most of MCR fandom's reaction is "This still hurts, not over the band break up, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US?" I have those reactions, plus a faint hope that there will be one or two unreleased tracks on it.
I went and saw Death Spells open for The Architects. The latter's bassist was sick so Frank played in. On Sparkles. Three feet from our faces, Frank on Mikey's bass. My friends and I got all teary... Too soon, man, too soon...
I'd run into him earlier in the evening selling merch. I wanted to bite him. I wanted to cry. I fought the urge to start demanding "Put my favorite band back together RIGHT NOW" by running the hell away. They laughed when I told them... once they saw Sparkles they went to the same place.
