You're a bloody puppet! You're a wee little puppet man!

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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Cocaine is a hell of a drug. RIP Rick James.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I used to have that problem but, I swear, my Fluevogs have added years to my club-going life.

I'll take "Things Overheard At the Rockers' Retirement Home" for $400, Alex.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I was just going to post the Rick James news, Hayden. Sad.

Har-de-har, Steph.

"Why do the facts hate America?" - Jon Stewart

Least favorite song by my favorite band? Easy – “Gary’s got a Boner” by the Replacements.

Thought of another one – “Candy from a Stranger” by Soul Asylum. I don’t even own that album, but they played it live and it confirmed my conviction not to buy that album.

Forgive me if someone’s already brought them up, but the new Snow Patrol is my favorite album in the world right now. Tom, I know you would love it. Kind of Ride/MyBloody Valentine like stuff.

Rick James was not one of my favorite people, or musicians even, but it’s sad when someone dies too young.

I think his liver probably lived a good 80 years in the 56 allotted.

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

Least favorite song by a favorite artist/band? Easily--Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have some awful songs: "Sweetheart Come" (repeating "sweetheart" over and over again eventually sounds like you're saying "sweet tart" and ruins the effect), "Babe I'm On Fire" (funny the first time or two but not good), the cover of Leonard Cohen's "Avalanche" (nearly incomprehensible), and "Black Hair" (painfully repetitive) all spring to mind immediately.

I'm less successful at thinking of a truly horrible Tom Waits song.

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

Easy – “Gary’s got a Boner” by the Replacements.

A friend of a friend loves that song. She liked to talk about "the pathos of 'Gary's got a Boner.'" Using "pathos" to describe that song just cracks me up.

Forgive me if someone’s already brought them up, but the new Snow Patrol is my favorite album in the world right now. Tom, I know you would love it. Kind of Ride/MyBloody Valentine like stuff.

Sounds cool.

Are you ready to be strong?

Least favorite song by a favorite artist/band?

All skits on every hip-hop album ever.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

And the Riobot gets it in one! With an Amen from Angus.

Tommyrot, I think your friend meant "bathos." It's easy to get them mixed up.
