Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.
'Serenity'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Maxwell's: Just had to defend my description of The dBs as part of "The Hoboken Scene" of the early 80s to my co-editor. "But aren't they from North Carolina? I associate them with North Carolina."
Yeah, but they didn't form The dBs until they all moved to NYC. Did you know Stamey toured with Alex Chilton for a year? That must've been that stretch where Alex went to the UK and had the Softboys back him. Also when Richard Lloyd played some live dates with him, and when The dBs backed Kimberly Rew.
Among my pop rarities, I've got both The Sneakers CD (pre-dBs band with Mitch Easter and Chris Stamey) and The Bible of Bop (Kimberly Rew backed by Softboys, dBs and Waves).

Everything in the book gets a rave, since the point is to identify great records which have been lost or underrated. But yes, I give a stellar review to Fire of Love.
Opening line: "This isn't southern gothic; it's feral white trash."

"This isn't southern gothic; it's feral white trash."
Very nice.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Very nice.
There's also a metaphor about guitar playing based on truck lot whores and a reference to "a black pubic hair caught in a crust of blood on polyblend panties." So you can see I have not stinted on the Nasteee while describing The Gun Club's punk blues.

Have you heard the Congo-Norvell version of this song? They do it as a very slow, narcotic duet. It's amazing. Just gorgeous and it highlights the lyrics, and Kid Congo plays fantastic guitar on it.

nope. that sounds really cool. i'll have to look out for that.
mazzy star does a nice cover of "ghost on the highway." (the gun club did write that, right?)
edit: come to think of it, i have heard someone do a slow cover of "she's like heroin to me."

It's in the used bins here at Amoeba.

Yup, Gun Club. Another band covered it on one of the Bloodshot comps too.

Once more, with bolding:
You say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too--yeah
Yep, it's an honor to share my birthday not only with everyone's favorite thereminist/actuary/music know-it-all, but also with Mr. Anthony Stewart Head, and my son Walter (the Frankenphotoshopper)
