Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I was about to send this to my mom, thinking someone had posted it here when I realized she had sent it to me. Score one for Mom! Piano greats.

I just found The Proclaimers cover of "King of the Road" in our itunes. It's so darling I want to bite my toes. It's pretty faithful to the original version but the accents are at the same time so beautiful and so wrong.

And I hope everyone saw this by now.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I heard about that on YouTube NPR. How cool!

What mainstream term would one use to categorize Violent Femmes? Alternative Rock?

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

College Rock? Post-Punk?

I don't think the term "Alternative" was in use during their heyday....

I think I've heard them labeled as Folk-Punk back in the day.

Close enough. You could also go for American Indie.

This is for current college students.

I'm working on a new song feature for a 2010 textbook and the first chapter is about Louise Attaque and I want to say their name comes from the fact they are fans of the [musical genre] group Violent Femmes.

American Indie is probably good, because it also reflects that what was called "alternative" in the 80s and 90s was called "indépendant" in France.

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

I think they prefer "Native Alternitan"
