'Out Of Gas'


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.

Thanks, everyone! Keep it coming if you like!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

For sheer bouncy silly gloom-be-gone good cheer, my go-tos are both by Jonathan Richman:

I Have Come Out To Play and Rooming House On Venice Beach.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

What songs make you chair dance, or bop around while you're cleaning or doing laundry? I want to put together a playlist to listen to when I'm stressed or depressed or being self-critical.

Very old school: Three dog night's Joy to the world; Elton John's Crocodile rock. Bruce Springsteen's Viva Las Vegas

Slightly less old school: Cobra Starship's Guilty pleasure

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Hell, anything by Bob Seger except "Beautiful Loser" and "Against the Wind." (Which are great, just not cheery.)

The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love

Elton John - Step into Christmas, Island Girl
