Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

'Hell Bound'


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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

realizing that three of their songs have been on our store tapes. I guess that Bath and Body Works has good taste in music.

Ha! Sweet. Which songs?

I have to come in and highly recommend Snow Patrol's Final Straw again. It's such a lovely CD. And cheap, too.

Anybody know Modest Mouse? I heard some of their stuff this weekend and liked it, I think. Thoughts?

I really didn't like Modest Mouse, at first. But then I heard their album "This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About" and I've been hooked ever since. Which album did you hear?

Good News for People Who Like Bad News. I only heard The World at Large and one other song, but Amazon tells me that's the album.

While I was looking up which songs were on "Good News for People Who Like Bad News," I noticed that Amazon has two free downloads up for grabs. I can't recommend the greatness of every song they've done but if I'm in a "I don't know who I am but I want to forget to think about it for a while" kind of mood, these are the guys I turn to :)

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Here's my feeling: I'd kind of thought of them as a band liked by people who thought that Indie automatically equalled Good. And then I listened to them. I've only heard Good News, but, damn. It's really really good.

I'm not too in love with these two songs on the first listen, but I heard their latest single yesterday (off the heralded Good News), and it's not bad. I like it more than these two free ones.

Heh. Yeah. For some reason I thought they were an older band, and this was some sort of comeback for them. Am I thinking of a similarly named band? Was there a band called Danger Mouse? Was there Modest Something Else?

Yes, there was. Also, they've been around for a decade or more, but they've never really done anything before now.

Exactly! It's weird when that happens. It stuns me.

Oh, dude, I totally thought you knew of them. In fact, I thought I'd heard of them *from* you. Huh.
