Misha! Ha! That's the only thing I know about the dBs! That, and weren't they involved with Mitch Easter somehow? </used to live in Winston-Salem>
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?
Host ,'Not Fade Away'
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sneakers - Mitch Easter + Peter Holsapple = dB's
(and Easter also did sound stuff for them after they'd become the dB's)
(most of which I get from Google and not some strange North Carolina osmosis thing)

Heh, look at amych with the musical know-how! Exactly right. They were all part of the North Carolina pop mafia, or what was called (in my just after college days) The Pop Triangle (Hoboken - NC - Athens, GA).

Okay, now that I have a new Powerbook, I went back to the stack of CDs that my old G4 had problems ripping.
What was the second track on the first CD? The Raspberries, "All the Way." I feel much better now.

Just for you erinaceous, snipped from Tim's thread:
Also I see that Andy Partirdge's song "I Wonder Why The Wonder Falls" is up on iTunes! Also, and I shouldn't say this since we're doing a recut of the images this weekend, but the video is up on the fox site.
Also, the three sidebar contributors (Jilli, Erinaceous, Jon) will all be listed as contributors in the book. No biggie for the wordy girl who has seen her name in print many times, but it's always fun to get published.
Le sigh. The book she is almost done. We're fiddling with the word count, noting where to put the sidebars, tracking the illos and cover scans, but most imporantly we're making really fun index entries.
Like:
-esque, abuse of (see Dylanesque)
nelogisms, "rotsome" page 13, "uncohesive" p. 42
Critiques of celebrated actors used as reference point
-B. St. John/ Hepburn
-Willie Nelson/ Astaire
19th Century Novelist references:
Austen, See Jonathan Richman
Dickens, See The Auteurs
Thackary, See Swervedrier

x-post from that thread as well.
It's a great fun, quirky classic-AP sounding track to me. Not too creepy - which is prob. good for a TV theme. But not too boring. And as I said over there as well - I still can't believe they got him to do it and that I will hear it every week!

Well, consider that The Rembrandts never even had a major radio hit, but because they did the theme for Friends they'll probably never have to worry about the rent for the rest of their lives.
