I have the new Decemberists CD !!!!!!1!!!!
I love the photos in the booklet. The band act out the songs with cheesy community theater-esque sets and costumes.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That was the name of David Bowie's character in the extended video for... "Blue Jean", I think.

They're riffing on Screamin' Lord Sutch. Who was rather Byronic.

The Six Million Dollar Man should have had a Byronic arm.

I think that's what Polidori got - a Byronic arm - during the sequence in "Gothic" where he's snuggling with a crucifix while Byron's having sex with the comatose girl in the next room. Polidori's slamming the palm of his hand into the nail where the crucifix was hanging in time with the banging of next door's headboard.

What a messed-up movie.
But "The Devil is an Englishman" deserves a John Waters (or Baz Luhrman) video.
