Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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.

I'm not usually in this thread, but apparently the NPR Austin 100 went up a few weeks ago, and the download is available here: [link]

I have found some great songs off the Austin 100 the last few years, so I assume I will this year, too.

The download is free until March 31, but you can stream the playlist through the app for the next year.

"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

Fred, Taylor Swift has built an empire on that very foundation. How's girlfriend going to pay for her mansions if she doesn't write about breakups with her exes? That's apparently the only life experience she has besides concert touring and working in the songwriting studio.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Consuela, I downloaded it a few days ago and have been listening to it while I do onerous tasks like budgeting, paying bills, and taxes. I've definitely already marked a bunch with hearts. Good stuff on there.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Pretty much every artist I have ever loved has been extensively derided as pretentious. And I am ok with that.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

It is a busy day converting all the live show videos and audio of Prince that people are sharing. trying to grab as many as possible before they get taken down.

Speaking of Prince, I keep watching this over and over. If you've never seen it, it's pretty jaw dropping at the end:

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I've never been a big fan, but his solo in that clip is frelling amazing. Sort of channeling his inner Hendrix.

He basically steals the song from some big-time vets and then does the guitarist equivalent of dropping the mic. I'm pretty sure that's Harrison's son next to Petty and he looks pretty pleased with everything, so I have no complaints on any showboating.

It's also one of the few times I remember Prince being tapped for JUST his guitar skills, and he did not disappoint. Plus a stylin' suit without being too Prince-ish about it.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I'm pretty sure that's Harrison's son next to Petty and he looks pretty pleased with everything, so I have no complaints on any showboating.

Yep, and he basically thought it was the most awesome thing in the history of awesome.
