I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

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.

Another set by the Vienna Philharmonic, except the titles are in German, which might be a bit perplexing: [link]

Thrive to spite them
Oh thanks! The titles might be perplexing but it's more about the music.

Hey, if you buy the CD with German titles, it seems more special!

Never mind. I was able to refine my google search. I had some details wrong, but it was Arthur MacBride.

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

O my Buffistas, does anyone (Hec?) have a recommendation for a good general (narrative) history of 20th-century pop and/or rock music? Everything I can find is either a textbook, an encyclopedia, or too focused on one genre or another. I'm surprised it's been this hard to find something, and I'm sure I must be overlooking an obvious title. Can anyone help?

I've seen some titles like this out of Britain. The trend has gone away from macro overviews to micro monographs.
I'm sure Faber has something. Maybe Penguin. Let me poke around.
