Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

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 generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Somebody is trying to boycott college radio stations that play Skinny Puppy. Kind of makes me giggle.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Hmm. In my experience, at least, all you've got to do to boycott most college radio stations is move a couple of blocks away from it. Then you've got no choice.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
We're on that list and got an email from them about it. The consensus among the DJs was, well, we never played Skinny Puppy before, but maybe we should start!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Betsy, the original conception of Spinal Tap comes almost directly from the infamous Troggs Tapes. Where the British Band who did "Wild Thing" blathered on with stupid pretension and the engineer rolled tape. Christopher Guest and Michael McKean were in an improv group called The Credibility Gap and did albums in the early 70s and did similar rock stuff. And yeah, Deep Purple, is exactly the kind of band Spinal Tap is parodying. In the early 70s, the big three of Heavy Metal were Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.

Nope. I'll make one for you. He talks a lot about his new album with Gillian Welch.

You should also reply to them, if ONLY to raise the level of the response. I mean, seriously, folks, I think that's actually criminal abuse of punctuation.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
The Scissors Sisters also do a great cover of "Comfortably Numb" as a dance tune, by the way
This was their first UK single. I was shatteringly disappointed to learn they weren't always like that.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We're starting to see the first devices that enable one to record off of satelite radio. THe RIAA is not fighting this as much as one might think.
The RIAA is lobbying the FCC, which is expected to require that radio stations transition from analog to higher-quality digital broadcasting within the next few years, to mandate that broadcasts use technology to prevent content copying, similar to its ruling (.pdf) for digital television.
According to Sean Butson, media analyst with financial services company Legg Mason, the RIAA has financial motivations for selectively targeting traditional radio. "When songs get played on satellite radio, recording artists get paid more money than when they get played on terrestrial radio," Butson said. He said satellite radio stations pay 7 percent of revenues to recording artists and copyright holders, whereas radio broadcasters pay less than 1 percent.
eta: This is interesting too:
Frutkin said version 4.0 of the TimeTrax software, which will be available at the end of January, will enable listeners to scan satellite radio channels and record only songs by specific artists. Users will be able to type in "Bruce Springsteen," see the channels that would most likely play him, and then monitor the stations to record him, according to Frutkin.
