Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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.

If I only had a brain...

So. Deb hooked me on Barenaked Ladies, whom I hadn't heard before. I now have Everything to Everyone, and it's on rapid repeat. What I especially love about BnL is the witty, sardonic lyrics, the tight harmonies, and the insanely catchy tunes.

What's the second BnL album I should buy?

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

I'd go with Gordon, which is their first, and the one I like best.

Speaking of Barenaked Ladies, Fox is giving them a pilot.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I can't pretend I'm a BNL expert, but I like Gordon a lot too, FWIW.

I can't even.

Funny BNL fact for Betsy: The Ladies were banned from playing a concert at city hall in Toronto (they're from here) early in their careers because the left-leaning city government thought that the band name was demeaning towards women.

No, really. Ahh, the height of political correctness days. How I don't miss them.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I also like Maroon a lot. BNL are great in concert, BTW--tight band, they sound fab, and they do fun things like improv entire songs based on the life story of the security guard standing at the back of the room, or whatever.

hip deep in pie

I was rude to one of the BNL's once. Then he avoided me for the rest of the evening.

RIP, Scottso!

There was a segment about Scott Muni yesterday on the Brian Lehrer show. Richard Neer, author of FM - Rise and Fall of Rock Radio, talked about Muni's career (and earwormed me with "FM," but that's okay I like the Dan), Jonathan Schwartz shared memories of his colleague, and listeners called in. There's a great clip of Muni talking to the bank robber who called him on the air -- the guy on whom the Al Pacino character in Dog Day Afternoon was based!

If skills sold, truth be told, I'd probably be lyrically, Talib Kweli. Truthfully I wanna rhyme like Common Sense But I did five mill' - I ain't been rhymin like Common since (Jay-Z)

VH1 is streaming the new Tom Waits here:

Real Gone

It's pretty great!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What's the second BnL album I should buy?

Gordon. It's completely stylistically different from ETE and a hell of a lot of fun. And they are wonderful in concert.

They did a cover of Public Enemy's Fight The Power on the Coneheads soundtrack.
