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.

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

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
Just plain bonks. Erratic and completely unreliable. Nonsensical.

The New Pornographers: new music! - Boing Boing
Following on Neko Case's latest solo album, the excellent "The Worse Things Get...," she's reunited with her supergroup bandmates in The New Pornographers to record Brill Bruisers, coming out August 26. Check out the infectious first track and play with the album art below!
Lead singer AC Newman says, "This is a celebration record. After periods of difficulty, I am at a place where nothing in my life is dragging me down and the music reflects that. We wanted Xanadu and we wanted Sigue Sigue Sputnik, which translated into sparklier and faster.”
I like it.

Just heard on the radio:
RIP, Jerry Goffin.

So: death
I have this sorta-Eastern philosophical view that we should think about the fact that we're going to die, that nothing is permanent, etc--rather than trying to not acknowledge death like most of us do in the West.
So I'm making a playlist about death. I mostly want songs about the singer contemplating their own death, or the fact that everyone is going to die. I don't really want songs about other people who have died or are going to die (although I have a few of those in my first stab at a playlist). Being an atheist, I don't want songs about heaven or becoming a spirit or whatever, but I do have two great songs with a "pushing daises" theme: Belly's "Feed The Tree" and Camper Van Beethoven's "Flowers." The songs don't have to be dark--see the excellent "I'm Gonna Die" by Future Wife.
Anyone have any suggestions? Here's my first draft of a playlist:
