"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 ...

Whew, finally caught up.

And now mention of the "Pina Colada Song" (aka "Escape") during the earworm discussion has earwormed me as well.

Not with "Escape", but with "Timothy".

And, yes, there is a connection. MST3K had a whole riff on it.

Not too upset, though. "Timothy" makes for one bizarro earworm.

Paging SA!!!

Can you get yourself up to Cincy on Friday, May 14? Because Jamie Cullum is playing at this event, and I am *so* there.
