Ignorance is bliss sometimes.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sekrit message for SA: I can do the same. I think we should make it a game at the F2F.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I've had a Todd Rundgren song stuck in my head since 8 this morning.

How about a nice song that you might hear, oh, say, on a ride at Disney World?

Yeah, but who knows the words to Michael Jackson's Captain EO song anyway?

Weren't they something like "EO! Woooooo! A-ow!"
('Cause that's what I now have stuck in my head. Which is, indeed, a fate worse than a stubbed toe.)

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
I just listened to a really fun segment on "The Next Big Thing":
Texas-based band Brave Combo plays an eclectic blend that’s part polka, part punk, part habanera and much more. Here, cooking show meets performance chat when Brave Combo band leader Carl Finch shows host Dean Olsher how the band mixes all these ingredients together.
Do you know these guys, hayden? "Know of them," I mean. Not that I expect you to know every band, but you are our man on the ground. (Note: the stream was pretty bad when I listened, but the music was a blast.)
I love Skynyrd. Ronnie VanZant was a huge loss. Gold and Platinum, a retrospective compiled by Gary Rossington and Allen Collins (two of the three guitars going at it on "Free Bird") after the plane crash that killed VanZant, guitarist Steve Gaines & his sister, backing vocalist Cassie, seems to be out of print, but this is a good intro if you aren't familiar with them. Cheap, good selection, not comprehensive but a good place to see if you like them. For some reason I find myself singing "Gimme Three Steps" just about every time I go running. Wonderful song.
Pink Floyd was about as hard to miss where/when I grew up as Skynyrd, Zep IV & Who's Next. But I was still surprised, stunned even, the first time I saw Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami's Through the Olive Trees, and after thinking "what IS that?" for most of the credits, realizing that it was "Time" from Dark Side of the Moon. (Click on the second link to get some sense of how out of place -- not wrong, just surprising -- that it seemed.)

We gotta get you a woman
It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alii-iiive...
Okay, maybe that's not the one. Good song, though.

Sure. They're not my cup o' tea, but I know some people who love the hell out of them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I was a kid, there was a Green Bay TV program called The Bart Starr Show (they reviewed the previous Packers game). The opening theme music was PF's "Time" - basicly the part after all the clock noise but before the vocals.
The same show had also used "Thus Spake Zarathustra", a.k.a. the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Brave Combo have been around forever. Also not my cup-o-tea, but I remember seeing their records in the mid-80's.
