Buffistas, talk to me about the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, if anyone is familiar with them.
I like them. The lead singer has a "Patti Smith meets Betty Boop" thing going. It's intriguing.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hee! The description sounds great. Unfortunately, I know nothing of the Divine Comedy. Would I like them?
I think you'd very much like Neil Hannon's (he is the whole group, really) earlier albums with songs like "The Death of A Supernaturalist" or "Gin Soaked Boy" or....
"Your Daddy's Car"
We took your daddy's car
And drove it to the sea
We fooled around for hours
And then when we got tired and it got dark
We found a place to park
And we watched the sun set fire
To the sea
Can you feel the sadness in our love?
It's the only kind we're worthy of
Can you feel the madness in our hearts
As the key turns and the engine starts?
We took your daddy's car
And drove it into town
We steamed into a bar
And we bought the biggest bottle of champagne
And driving through the rain
We sang: "God bless this car, and all who sail in her!"
Can you feel the sadness in our love?
Well, it's the only kind we're worthy of
Can you feel the madness in our hearts
As the key turns and the engine starts?
We took your daddy's car
And wrapped it round a tree
We didn't know what for
We didn't feel like driving any more
It was so good
We got bored
And we are driving from the day we are born
Can you feel the sadness in our love?
Well, it's the only kind we're worthy of
Can you feel the madness in our hearts
As the key turns and the engine starts?
Can you feel The engine Start

That's great, Steph. Thanks for posting it.
Just listened to a really interesting Fresh Air interview with Tony Hendra, who played Spinal Tap's manager. I saw him at a wine tasting a couple months ago & thought about saying something to him but I didn't think he needed yet another person coming up to him and going, "Hey, Spinal Tap!" Had I known more about him, especially had I known anything about his knew book, I might have talked to him. Wish I had. Anyway, the interview is highly recommended.

I had a brief moment of confusion reading Jon's post before I remembered that non-NAFDAns may not have seen the finale yet. Especially since I was just talking to erinaceous the other day about how, without spoilers, life is now meaningless.
