Speaking of Gothy things, The Edwardian Ball is this weekend - bigger than ever. It's getting to be quite the signal event.

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.

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

So in my iTunes shopping cart I have "Re: Your Brains", by Jonathan Coulton and "Barbara Ann", by the Beach Boys. Based on the items in my cart, iTunes recommends "Journey: Greatest Hits".

Well, they took the J and the O from Jonathan and the E and the Y from Beach Boys...

Ok, I just watched Elvis Costello, Kris Kristofferson (one of the songs co-writers), Norah Jones, Roseanne Cash and John Melloncamp do "Me and Bobby McGee" on EC's music chat show on Sundance - Spectacle. Fucking monumentally sublime! I think EC may be gunning for musical sainthood.

My pleasure. I have been a big EC fan over the years, but he's been losing me lately due to all his experimenting with various styles. I respect him for the desire to stretch, but (mostly) the results haven't done much for me. However, the stuff he's been doing on this show (both musically, and on a music geekery level) has me squarely back in fanboy territory. Though him being in Colbert's Xmas special also racked up massive points too.

It was real good.
Norah joining in on harmonies on Roseanne's "Seven Year Ache" (one of her prettiest melodies) was gorgeous.
Loved how Kris could just reach in his back pocket and pull out a stone classic like "Sunday Morning Coming Down."
Roseanne's vocal on "Me and Bobbie McGee" was pretty fucking hot too.
Also dug Norah's tune for Hank Williams. That really worked well.
Frank, have you seen Heartworn Highway?
It's got about the best guitar pull you're going to see with Guy Clark leading a group that includes (circa 1975) Steve Earle, Rodney Crowell, John Hiatt and Steve Young.
