Anya ,'Showtime'
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.
msbelle -- yes, of course, and no, respectively.
I am listening to the new Hold Steady album today, as "Your Little Hoodrat Friend" is too catchy to resist. I wince that they have to issue press releases saying, no, we're not into this sound ironically, but good for them for doing so. Won't stop the hipsters, but what does?

Hipsters like catchy pop songs too!
Just for my own fun, and because Gandalfe seemed interested, I've just posted some rare glam rock at buffistarawk. I did it in four sets of two, roughly thematic. It includes some very good Bolan style glam, some in the art rock vein including Eno's single only "Seven Deadly Finns" and Canada's greatest Glam moment, "Roxy Roller." Free for the taking.
They should all be in the In Box.

Would some kind soul remind me where that is and how I might get to the rare glam rock?
buffistarawk at g-mail dot cawm. Email that address if you don't have the password.
Did you get in Jilli? I can email you the password if you need. I just added three extra songs for you under the heading "Gender Bending."
Now Playing: Corwood's Beat Happening mix he made for me yonks ago.
I'm feeling very indie rock/pop right now.
In fact, I'm trying to make a definitive (for me) mix of the genre and realizing that it's sort of impossible because it's too vast. I keep wanting to slip in stuff as early as "Lee Remick" (or "Karen" - shush, Jon) by The Go-Betweens, or "Rolling Moon" by The Chills, even though most of this stuff is really early to mid Nineties. Also, I'm suddenly regretting selling that Field Mice collection since this seems to need something from Sarah Records. (Ouch - I can feel Jim rolling his eyes from here.)
Oh well, I've got Pastels and (early, Claudia singing) Magnetic Fields and Tallulah Gosh and Vaselines and Ophelia Tremor Control and Velocity Girl and Chris Knox and Television Personalities and Tullycraft and Bartlebees and Beat Happening and Sebadoh on it.

Sure you don't mean Susan Anway? She sang on the first one or two albums (most notably on 100,000 Fireflies).
Sure you don't mean Susan Anway
You're right. That being the very song I'm including.
What do you think, Jon? Can you fairly compress it down to 72 minutes?
Shit, you've already done that much on a skim across NZ, much less K Records or Elephant 6 or Fort Apache or Sarah.
::sigh::

Nope. I emailed the buffistarawk addy, but no reply.
