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

But?
Isn't that the definitiohn of 80s music?
Is there a bustle in your hedgerow?
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?
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.
Paaaac Maaaaan Fever
A sickness born down deep within my soouul
Is there a bustle in your hedgerow?
Yeah, but I'm not alarmed. It's just some Nazis in a foxhole doing a spring clean for the May queen. Or maybe they're sprinkling for the bake queen.
Got my copy of LotG yesterday as well. Looks great. Nice to see the Buffistas in the acknowledgements. Hec - Why the special thanks to Anne W.?
Nice to see the Buffistas in the acknowledgements.
Much of the Buffista discussion here in this very thread being a huge influence on the book. The title itself came from Lyra and Sue. I will also particularly note that my longish exchange with Jim about The Auteurs and British rock shaped that piece.
Hec - Why the special thanks to Anne W.?
She hustled me a copy of her Cowboy Bebop soundtracks which I had wanted to review. Ultimately, I didn't have room for those pieces, but she was very responsive to my urgent request (it was close to deadline), and I wanted to honor her volunteerism on behalf of the book. Also, those soundtracks are really expensive.
Heh - I love that Pac Man Fever review. Both Kim and I had the same reaction after reading it: "I must find that record!"
