Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.
I'll try to turn these over quick, tina.
No worries sir. I am off for the next five days exploring the woods of central Missouri (translation: sitting in lawn chair in cheap off-the-highway campsite drinking too much Miller product).
I am making two mixes for the trip as I type. One is "spunky" - I have named it Shaken. One is "mellow" - it shall be called Stirred. They have many many songs from Buffista mixes sent to me thus far. I and my fellow campers send thanks.
And I gave a vampire mouse to SA two Xmases ago (?) for the Buffista swap!
I love that mouse so much, but it freaked my friends out sooooooo much. I had to put it in my trunk, though, because it was in danger of getting damaged, and then we got a cat. Which would be bad.
"We Built This City"
Is inexorably linked in my memory with working slooooooooooooow Sunday afternoons at Dunkin' Donuts back in high school. I hear it and get kind of nauseous (too much sugar, relentless coffee, and slightly off creamer smells) and really, really, really bored.
I'm going to see Sleater-Kinney tonight (for free, yay, here's to knowing people and stuff). This band Thermal from Portland, I think, are opening. Anybody know them?
The Thermals. On Sub Pop. They do one song I like that sounds kinda like GBV. The other stuff is more rock/less pop, but I can't remember for sure.

That's promising.
Game Theory are reuniting for the book? I feel special by association.
"We Built This City" rated as worst song ever.
Another Buffista who doesn't, I don't think, frequent this thread, took that list and made an iPod playlist of it to listen to during the day. I was so pleased to know that.
Oh, god, if we refer to that Starship song again, can we not refer to it by the lyrics?
Ooh, I'm going to see Blondie on Saturday night!
Watch out for the Man from Mars, as rumor has it he likes to eat bars and guitars....
Hey, Hec!
Did I tell you I've been listening to that Western Swing box set you rec'd? It's marvelous. I admit that Little Bird doesn't appreciate it, although that may be because I can't help but sing along ...
