Buffy ,'Get It Done'
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.
erinaceous! I blame thank you -- I bought a Pizzicato Five CD today, based pretty much on the song you put on one of the mix CDs you sent.
In fact, almost all the new-to-me music I've gotten over the past 6 months or so can be traced back to you -- OkGo, Snake River Conspiracy, Big Sandy, and now Pizzicato 5.

Pizzicato Five! Man, that name takes me back ...We used to listen to Five by Five all the time in college.
So I've been doing a lot of organization on the book and will be knee deep in it all weekend (and for the rest of the month really). And I just wanted to say...this is fun! Damn, we really did get an amazingly broad selection of music covered here. Classic cult bands, real obscurities, lesser known works by famous musicians, just about every genre imaginable: indie, Afro-pop, soul, funk, disco, jazz, latin, country, punk, pop. I mean...we've got Frank Sinatra Jr. and Schoolly D and David Allen Coe in here.
It's a great read and it makes you real itchy to hit the record bins. "I must track down that Potatomen record! I can't live without Dogbowl! Must.Find.Lewis.Furey."
And I just wanted to say...this is fun!
Yay!! That's how it should be - but so often isn't. Yay.
I'm headed home with a stash of new music for the weekend. I had never heard a Sleater Kinney album all the way through before today. Wow. I was missing out.
I also just realized I never did put Hec's mix in the mail - it's all packaged up in my bag still - so I'll see to that this weekend.
Lyra Jane - I'm sending you my liner notes as I will have no means to do it for the weekend - hopefully my mix will arrive shortly. If you could put them online and link to them here for me I'd be ever so grateful. Thanks.
Schoolly D
The ATHF writers said he totally improvised the theme moments before performing.
Steph! You're welcome!
OkGo, Snake River Conspiracy, Big Sandy, and now Pizzicato 5.
OK Go is on the OC mix too--same song as Erinaceous's sex mix, actually. But it's a good song.
ATHF?
Aqua Teen Hunger Force!
Ah! Thanks. Cool theme, but the show has always rubbed me the wrong way. I can't explain it since I love all the other Adult Swim stuff.
