Buffistas

Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

Saffron ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm inclined towards "There is no one..." but that's probably because it's got the most indie-rock feel, despite the lack of obvious indie-rock elements. I believe he had members of Slint backing him up on that one.

I have an old cassette that the Simple Machines ladies released in 1991 of Dave Grohl solo stuff. It's called "pocketwatch".

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

Also, he drums on the latest Queens of the Stone Age album.

I'd recommend Viva Last Blues, David, which has consistently brilliant material, but There Is No One, etc., Days in the Wake, and Lost Blues & other songs are certainly good choices. Don't get the Greatest Palace Music album under any circumstances (well, ok, the only reason to get it is to compare its slick production to the earlier, superior, rougher takes), though. That album makes me physically sick to listen to.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's Trudy's tribute to John Cage....

Trudy's slutty, but demurely so.

This CNN story about Quine was listed as one of their top stories (front page, not entertainment section), which strikes me as bizarre. The people he's most "famous" for playing with aren't that well known. Yeah, Lou's got giant influence and elder statesman status, but what percentage of CNN readers have heard anything other than "Walk on the Wild Side"? Sure, lots more than have heard of Richard Hell and the Voidoids, but...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'd never heard of him until yesterday.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

I've been listening to Rain Dogs a lot lately and Quine's guitar on "Blind Love" is the very definition of sublime.

Vaguely apropos of this, Richard Hell did an in-store appearance at the Tower Records in Boston while I was working there. He was remarkably gracious to every person who crossed his path, a phenomenon that was not often at work during "celebrity" in-stores.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My first impression of Quine remains the strongest - his guitar on "Blank Generation" is utterly savage and completely swinging - a very rare mix of daring and chops.
