Dawn ,'Never Leave Me'
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.
Any opinions on The Bravery? I'm thinking I need to get the CD. I read about them in the latest "Blender," downloaded a few songs last night, heard a song on the radio this morning, and decided I dig it.
I'm not feeling The Bloc Party, however. Based on what I'd heard, it sounded like it would be right up my alley, but what I've listened to makes me just shrug.
Am picking up the M.I.A. CD tonight. Yay!
I have the new Decemberists CD !!!!!!1!!!!
It is shiny, and made a craptacular day less craptacular.
I have the new Vic Chesnutt CD, on which appear VanDyke Parks and Bill Frisell. I have to listen to it somewhere else besides on my computer, where everything sounds like ass. But what I can hear over the hiss sounds good.

There are cool pictures of the record/diorama David Cotner brought.
eta: if you follow the "Yummy Love" link you can heaar actual Lancelot Link.

I love the photos in the booklet. The band act out the songs with cheesy community theater-esque sets and costumes.
Hmmm, must buy Decembrists even though I've already downloaded the songs.
Can't find the records in Lost in The Grooves? Here they are.
Ooo! Ooo! Why didn't I think of asking here before?
smacks self
Anyway: must reprise history of request.
Wayback machine to Thomas Dolby's score for "Gothic". He did a remix of one of the songs under the fake bandname "Screamin' Lord Byron", with Timothy Spall doing the voice-overs. "The Devil is an Englishman". I have the vinyl 45 (on a 33rpm-sized disc), but it was left by an abominable ex (very cute, very educational for Wee Young Lad Alex, but very, very stupid) near a baseboard heater.
You guessed it.
However: I cannot for the life of me find a replacement - I would rather own the vinyl again, nostaglist that I am, but would settle for any format that has that extended remix.
Any ideas? I've tried the label, and they did the Big Corporate version of "huh?" at me years ago. I've tried Google and Ebay, but I'm not good at Ebay (the format hurts my formalist brain).
So, you mean this? [link]
Of course, eBay has it with a Buy It Now of $49.99 + $6 shipping. [link]
Thank you, Jilli.
Tis mine, mine mine.
