OMG, it's like Hec and Jilli said "What band would be the perfect merging of our musical tastes?"
The Gothees.
I hope they're good, b/c I'm downloading their spacelounge version of "Pretty in Pink" right now.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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.

The band features Waldo P. Emerson Gothee Jones III on vocals & theremin;
Heh. That's an Archies joke here. I think Stephin Merritt will take this as a challenge.

Record Store Report
Playing right now? The Boo Radley's Giant Steps which is, as Jim said, a brilliant guitar pop record. Got it for $5.99, and it looks like it might be OOP. But yay me for scoring the excellent music for low cost.
I opted for The Best of The Church on Buddha (huh?), and glad I did. It has a fair bit from their earlier records when they were rougher and sound somewhere between Duneidin and Lloyd Cole.
Got Isn't Anything which I am just exploring. I am happy to report it is Nice Price-d at a very affordable $8.99.
Spring Hill Fair by The Go Betweens. This is the two-CD reissue.
Labyrinth by Dead Can Dance.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Better than Ezra are better live than I could ever have imagined. Any show during which they bust out in verses of Supertramp, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, and Blue Oyster Cult in the middle of songs is a show worth seeing.

Okay, maybe not.
Congratulations, erinaceous! She's the new Bill Safire (linguistically, not politically) -- at least for this week's Times Magazine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, this is completely random (well, not to me), but does anyone have any ideas where I could get my hands on a karaoke recording of "What Would Brian Boitano Do?"?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Jesse a quick search has given me nothing. My guess is taht you would have to put a regualr South Park CD into a karaoke machine that removes the vocals.

Yeah, I tried googling what I could think of. The song is generally weirdly unavailable online. Ah well.
