Just for my own fun, and because Gandalfe seemed interested, I've just posted some rare glam rock at buffistarawk
Would some kind soul remind me where that is and how I might get to the rare glam rock?
Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

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."
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."

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

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
and (early, Claudia singing) Magnetic Fields
Sure you don't mean Susan Anway? She sang on the first one or two albums (most notably on 100,000 Fireflies).

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.

On it's way to you now, Jilli. Don't forget to check out the other labels on there. I put a bunch of SRC stuff up, which you probably already have . . . . But maybe not the videos?

You need to add Velocity Girl by the Primal Scream. And I Know Someone Who Knows Someone Who Knows Alan McGee Quite Well (that's the Pooh Sticks single, not a boast, although I do in fact know someone who knows someone who knows Alan McGee quite well). Have you got the Rough Trade Indie Pop compilation, Hec?

Not the sort of music we usually talk about, but the BBC is offering free MP3 downloads of Beethoven's Symphonies 1-5 here. Symphonies 6-9 will follow in early July.
