Dude, they even had a skit about it on SNL.
Oh, yeah?! Well.... Fire Engines to you, buster!

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.

Seriously, Hayden, I had no idea. My Beach Boys knowledge is fairly limited. Except I know that it wasn't a theremin on Good Vibrations.

Heh. I'm no longer a Fire Engines ignormamus, however, since you included it on the mix.
Only if you try to go into folk singing.
Kate's been a folksinger since she was in her early teens.

I'm shocked, shocked, Jon. I was looking for a picture of it online, but couldn't find one. There was a theremin on "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times," right?

I just googled myself and came up with not one, but two websites for chick folksingers with variants (Katie and Katherine) on my name. Suddenly I feel like I'm doing something wrong.
I'd buy all your albums, Kate. And follow you around on tour, like a Deadhead.

One of my perfect Buffista moments? Slow dancing with meara at the first F2F to a recording of Kate's college singing group doing "Galileo" with meara singing along.
Of course, making a Ple sandwich on the dancefloor with Amych to Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" was pretty damn great too.

And I'm no longer a piano-in-the-sandbox ignoramus. Ha!

Errr... can't remember now.

As rock lore goes, I think Brian's sandbox is a little overrated.
I prefer this story: The first time The Ramones played in Cleveland they met a small but enthusiastic crowd of local rock fans/fiends. After the show, their tour van was escorted out on to the freeway with those same fans who honked and yelled to show their support. Deeming this insufficient tribute, the driver crawled out of the car while it was zooming down the freeway at 50 mph, crawled onto the roof and "surfed" on top of the car as it went flying down the freeway. That car surfer? Stiv Bators.

Heh. David's right, I've been singing for a long time. In an alternate universe, one in which I never became disenchanted by the folk scene, all three of us could be competing for the One True Kate [lastname] Chick Folksinger's Crown. Or something.

Sure, but being the inspiration for Carl Spackler ensures him a place in the pantheon. "Big hitter, Dr. Landy..."
Anyway... the Calexico guy on Fresh Air will be Joey Burns. There will be a Robert Quine piece by Milo Miles, too.
I didn't hear it, but according to the playlist Irwin Chusid played "Rael" from Petra Haden Sings 'The Who Sell Out' (a cappella). A quick Google... says here, "Upcoming projects include 'Petra Sings, 'The Who Sell Out'' to be released in early September on Bar None records."
