Nut Bush City Limits
Go, Tina! They call it Nutbush...
ETA: Or they could be big fans of Live Bullet. Nothing wrong with that, though.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
scared of actuary parties.
All but Nutbush City Limits would be on my "never play ever" list.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Sort of like Austin City Limits, but with fewer banjos and more didjeridus.
I have an operatic version of Nutbush City Limits (which Steph has now heard too).

Joe! How is it that you were overlooked in the reading e-mail? I could have sworn I saw your address on the big mailings. Are you coming tonight regardless?

In the several minutes that I had the edit box open, I missed Joe saying he would be there tonight. The wily Boucher!
I missed the EV show last night as well, as I was stalking enjoying Rhett Miller's performance at Fez. As my friend Max put it, "I don't think I've ever been to another acoustic show where I thought I might need earplugs!"

In the immortal words of Bill McNeal, "Anything's possible." And I am kinda spacy, but I don't remember getting it. I will be there, though. Nathaniel will be there, too, along with Kathryn Pope. He says she's going to heckle you. <trying to stir up trouble>

I say unto her, bring it on. I could still cough on her.
My co-worker Chris is DJing tonight, with a religion theme. I tossed him the Mekons's "Take His Name In Vain" and Nick Cave's "Into My Arms."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Any word on the East Village show last night, David? I worked late & missed it, but I will be at the Housing Works event tonight.
It went really well. Packed house, and Steve Wynn's new band rocked. They did about five Groovies songs, and some old Dream Syndicate classics like "That's What You Always Say" and "John Coltrane Stereo Blues."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
About 10 or 12 years ago I saw Steve Wynn (solo) at a tiny Mpls. club. He did a great accoustic version of "Tell Me When it's Over" - I actually tried to learn to play it on an accoustic guitar.
The show was poorly attended, although Tommy Stinson and Paul Westerberg were in the audience.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I saw the Dream Syndicate open for U2 - in Cleveland, I think.
Karl Percoda made more noise on that guitar than I've ever heard before or since. Whole new Wall of Sound concept.
