Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
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.

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.
Ain't nothing wrong with a little Western Swing.
How had I not heard of CD Baby before? Now I am dooooooomed. Not only have I discovered the Vampire Beach Babes, but my "gothic" search turned up a band called Ver Sacrum, which has the description Violins. Cellos. Oboe. Lush, affected guitars. If you live in the 19th century and are regularly drinking absinthe, you are probably hearing music in your head already. For the rest of us, The Ballrooms of Mars is the perfect soundtrack for the visions that Baudelaire and Verlaine would have experienced.
I'm not supposed to be buying cds! I'm supposed to be saving up for a trip next month!
