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.

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.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, god, if we refer to that Starship song again, can we not refer to it by the lyrics?

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Ooh, I'm going to see Blondie on Saturday night!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Watch out for the Man from Mars, as rumor has it he likes to eat bars and guitars....

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
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 ...

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
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.

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

I saw that. I love that 30s and 40s Western Swing a ton. There are just cool stories about those bands too. Basically they were Okies and Texans who grew up listening to Count Basie on the radio (out of Kansas City) and tried to play swing on their fiddles and steel guitars. And they were (a) shit hot players (I had a big epiphany listening to early Western Swing. In brief, the average front porch guitar player in America in the thirties had better chops than most supertar guitarists today) and (b) they were fun! Funny sassy endlessly swinging songs.
