His soundtrack to "About a Boy" is pretty good, in a Beatles-meets-Moby sort of way -- kind of acoustic techno-folk, if that makes any sense outside my head.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

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.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

It does, Lyra Jane. That's definitly a good term for what I was hearing.
ETA: I really need to stop typing so fast. Or clip my nails.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I hear what you're saying about Sister Ray, Joe. The vocals didn't bother me as much and I think I was more able to just enjoy the music. There are some nifty arrangements going on.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We get to do the interview at the soundcheck at the Fillmore. Kind of cool.
Sloan are opening for Jet. Anybody heard anything by them except the single?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Sloan/Jet tour?
Almost as cool as Clinton/Gwar.

Yeah, but is it as cool as Jimi Hendrix/The Monkees?

I've heard two Jet singles. One steals the riff from "Lust for Life" and the other is an AC/DC retread.
I know people like them, though. I'm just not a fan of the classic-rock-in-a-blender approach, unless it's Oasis.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Yeah, but is it as cool as Jimi Hendrix/The Monkees?
This? Still not as cool as Jimi Hendrix and actual monkeys.

Nothing could be as cool as actual monkeys. That goes without saying.
(Monkey monkey monkey!)

That show must have had the Weirdest. Vibe. Evah!
I imagine the bizare mix of energy resulted in everyone's hair standing straight up. And carbonated beverages all going flat.
