Buffy ,'Lessons'
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.
Uh, I like Chuck Prophet and Beau Brummels. Mushroom is from the Bay Area, too, right?
You'd like Crime if you heard them. And now you can on CD, since they're on the Rough Trade Rock and Roll compilation which you should own. No love for Metallica? Dude.
My love for the Seger and for that song is well-documented.
<Picturing juliana in the cliché "Old Time Rock and Roll" video. Not getting any work done. Much as I regret saying this... must. make. it. stop.> :-) Still running? I'm in the I-just-resumed-and-can't-imagine-why-I-want-to-do-another-marathon stage. Except of course as an excuse to meet you. And to go to France and run through some vineyards. Not that either of those needs much justification.
Who else is from the Bay Area?
Game Theory. Loud Family.
I wonder if Scott Miller likes carrots.

I can vouch that juliana is well worth running 20+ miles to meet in person.
Game Theory. Loud Family.
Speaking of whom, my co-editor is talking Scott into reforming Game Theory for one show for our book-launch party. (We review one Game Theory and one Loud Family in the book.)
Which lineup of Game Theory?
Which lineup of Game Theory?
I dunno. Whoever he's still talking to. I expect there would be no Mitch Easter participation. He needed a drummer, but Kim was working on that.
And no that-chick-who-ran-off-with-the-church-guy.
Other Bayistas: Barbara Manning, Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, Residents.

If we can stretch our definition of Bay Area to Santa Cruz, Stockton and Sacramento (which we can't) you could say Camper Van Beethoven and part of Pavement, plus Cake. That's more of a Northern California than Bay Area thing. Also, Lux and Ivy met up in Sacto.
Well, I do love me some Game Theory & Loud Family. And CVB and Pavement, but I think the Cramps really belong in the midwest (they're both from Ohio, right?).
And no, no Metallica. I thought they were The Shit when I was 16, though. I dunno, maybe if I'd listened to Master of Puppets at some point in the last 12 years, I might feel differently.
