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.

"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

Buffista music help requested here:

I'm earwormed an early-to-mid-90s alt-rock-pop song, but I don't know what it's called or who it's by. This song comes back to haunt me every couple years and it's starting to drive me nuts. It sounds a bit like a cross between the Spin Doctors and the Meat Puppets' more accessible material (hell, it could be the Meat Puppets for all I know). The chorus goes something vaguely like this.

keep thinkin' it'll be all right if I just get on (off?) the road/in a moment I can free my worried mind/[....]pray for the day when I lose my heavy load/then I wouldn't have to leave you behind

Beyond that, I've just got a couple words here and there. I can't reach fifteen-year-old me on the phone for comment. Any ideas?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

You can have the 'oontz oontz' edition Goth Card.

I'm OONTZ-POP!?!?!! Oh, man, that's just harsh. At least make me future-pop or darkwave or something. I mean, c'mon, Rogue bought me a beer, for crying out loud!

Sorry, sorry! Remember, to my swirly-goth brain, oontz-pop, future-pop, and darkwave are all kinda-sorta the same thing.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Good lord, if that were true I would hitchhike to NYC and beg for a ticket just to see it.

Put on them sneakers and hit the road! It's pretty widely rumored. I just don't know which night(s) they're supposed to be playing, though, and my co-worker who told me this (and who HAS tickets, the bastid) is already gone for the night.

Well, oontz-pop has, um, oontzes in it. Future pop talks about space and cyber stuff and the end of the world, oh, and their dead lovers. Darkwave are people who play 80's music, but have big hair and wear black clothes.

No. And let's not. Otherwise envy will give me a nasty rash.

So not the time to mention I saw the Pixies back in the day, and they opened for the Muses at the Paradise in Boston, I guess? t /taunting

So, no one would happen to have an mp3 of Frank Stallone's Far From Over, would they?

Even though I can't keep a straight face typing that, I'm serious.

ETA: Also, In what year was Europe's Final Countdown released?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I spent all evening perusing my brand new copy of Lost in the Grooves (which, yes, came in the 2'x2' cardboard monstrosity Joe described). Bitchin'! Also, Mark Prindle's review of Pac Man Fever had me laughing so hard that I could barely read it to my wife. His site always gets a little overwhelming, but his writing in small doses is choice.
