Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I have the new NIN on mp3 but haven't listened to it all yet, just "The Hand That Feeds," which is fun.

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

(I got it in one. I am so proud!)

Me too. You can just tell. Okay, maybe not everybody can tell. But the three people who got it are the ones who probably spend the most time with music. I bet Liese and Corwood get it in one.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Has anyone else (Jilli) heard the new Nine Inch Nails album?

I've heard bits and pieces of it, but haven't sat down and listened to the whole thing. What I've heard, I like. Pete (who has listened to the whole thing a couple of times) thinks it's one of NIN's better albums.

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

Is there a reason why The The is not acknowledged as one of the greatest bands in history?

I don't know if I'd place them that high, but I do think they're underrated and love Soul Mining quit a bit. Their videos are regularly featured on The Alternative, and I was very psyched to nab "This Is The Day."

I guess I put them in the same overlooked slot as The Blue Nile.

I got it an one, but then went back a couple of weeks and failed horribly.

Now "This is the Day" is being used in a Dockers ad.

In my head, I equate The The with Radiohead. Except for the part where I enjoy listening to The The, and have never really grokked Radiohead.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

But the three people who got it are the ones who probably spend the most time with music. I bet Liese and Corwood get it in one.

Chatty!co-worker (who's been in a band since before I was in high school, I'm pretty sure) guessed the other 3 members before guessing the drummer.

He's failed miserably at music geekery. I didn't even have to think about it. The cockiest and most uncomplicated looking person is going to be your drummer in most instances where your band isn't Rush or The Band (or The Carpenters or VU - there are plenty of exceptions, obviously, but they played to the mean with this game).

Punishingly Intricate

Hah! Am not sure if this describes the drummer in my band or not. If you're just looking at our arms you can tell who the drummer is immediately though. The easiest way to tell would be in a handshake test. She'll crush your hand without even trying.
