Anyone heard the new Camper Van Beethoven?

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.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Someone gave me the new Mark Lanegan CD for my birthday, and I finally got around to listening to it.
Holy cats, it's really good! I never would have picked it up on my own and was puzzled that this person would have bought it for me, but now I'm sure glad he did.
Cool! I have two Screaming Trees songs. I love "All I Know."

Franz Ferdinand may play Ugly Sisters in the next Harry Potter film.
Or should this go in the movie thread?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I thought the band was the Weird Sisters, or Wyrd, or something like that? Anyway, huh. I keep hearing people rave about Franz Ferdinand but have not yet heard their music.

They're fun. They remind me of another Scottish band called apb whose singles I loved. Most people compare them to Orange Juice -- another Scottish band whose music I have managed to NEVER hear.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

You might have heard a song by their former lead singer, Edwyn Collins, though - "A Girl Like You".

I can see why - and they have a sound of that moment - but they're way less jangly and fluid and more jerky and angular than orange juice. Also if you like jangly shambolic indie with a dash of soul no-one ever did it bette than Orange Juice.

Fire Engines, dammit. Franz Ferdinand are a more commercial Fire Engines. OJ were way more twee and music-hall-y than FF are.
But you're right that I much prefer the Go-Betweens over Orange Juice. That's more by default though. Edwyn's voice annoys me to no end.
