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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

So, um. Does anyone else have an excuse to like Miley Cyrus? Or am I the only one?

I have nothing against her, and her songs are fun. I feel a little sorry for her, being in the Disney machine and all, but she seems to be handling it well.

TV On the Radio, huh? Hmmm.

MADE OF AWESOMENESS. Love them.

This year was a good year for me, music-wise. Lots of concerts, lots of good albums. Drive-By Truckers, Lupe Fiasco, The Hold Steady, Gym Class Heroes, Gaslight Anthem - I should check my home iTunes for a better cross-section.

I think her parents are able to help her cope better than, say, Lindsey Lohan's.

True, but her parents are also the ones that okayed the (tempest in a teapot) Vogue shoot and then got publicly hand-wringy and all "OH NOES OUR VIRGIN DAUGHTER".

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

There's worse fates than the Disney Machine like "not being a pop star at all".

I deffinately think her parents having a clue, being sane, and not considering her a meal ticket have maed the whole thing a lot more reasonable.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That's true, it's more like Ron Howard's parents being actors and giving him really great career support as a kid actor.

I'm always impressed by how both Ron and his brother Clint (who has worked for years but is far less famous) appear to be sane, together guys.

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

Man, I don't think I have anything off any of the top album lists, despite having actually grabbed MOAR MUSIC this year than usual. Though I did see TAI... in concert, does that count?

(Oh, few. I have a few things from the RS Best Singles List.)

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

That's true, it's more like Ron Howard's parents being actors and giving him really great career support as a kid actor.

I agree with this assessment. Billy Ray had already been through and spit out the Nashville wringer; Disney almost looks pleasant compared to.

Our wings are not tired.

Wow! I just noticed this thread and its title. Coolness!

Cowbell gets brung up a lot, though. Even by people not named msbelle. It's a thread on a board, and one you can conspire to roll over quickly, if you hate the title that much.

I don't know the history of how often it was or wasn't brought up, but when I mentioned it as a possibility, msbelle married me. I'm taking it that it was mentioned as a possibility many, many times before?

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