It's a guidebook written by geeks, for geeks, that makes rock 'n' roll seem almost not cool, grouping fans alongside other nerd cliques who fixate on comic books or Star Trek.
Two outta three! Nerd horns are up!!

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I played on a bill with Harry and the Potters a few months ago. Very entertaining in a lo-fi sorta way.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Sunny South Kensington - Donovan
Donovan has been circling around me lately. I might need to get some.
Ballrooms of Mars - T. Rex
Such a cool, cool song . . . . And they name drop like nobody else.

I love this track. L-O-V-E it. Used to play it during my brief radio DJ phase. But isn't one of them dead?
Siren Song - This Mortal Coil
I hate to pick on that nit, but it's "Song to the Siren."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I have the CD this track is on, but isn't it Skid Roper?

Indeed, I am the man who needs a fact checker tonight.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Oh, which reminds me that I've been looking for a copy of the Divine Comedy's A Secret History for a while now, but Amazon says it's out of stock and my local stores only have DC's latest, Absent Friends. David, is that something you think might turn up at Amoeba?
