I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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."

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).

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.

Hee! Yes! Gave me an advantage cuz I knew he wasn't the drummer. Bass player, right?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Pete (who has listened to the whole thing a couple of times) thinks it's one of NIN's better albums.

I would actually place it second, behind only the groundbreaking Pretty Hate Machine. I had real troubles with the other two.

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

Yeah, OK, hyperbole got the better of me. But I was listening to Soul Mining, and realised that only music geeks really remember them at all.

He's failed miserably at music geekery.

Maybe that should be my tagline, failed music geek.

I dunno, I've just never noticed a drummer *look." My husband's been a drummer since he was, like, eight (he was in one of those fife and drum corps and never gave it up, and has been in bands for basically half his life), so maybe I'm subconsciously trying to pick the person who reminds me of P.?

Or, maybe I am just lame. and sad. (It took me four tries on the second band, too, which is kind of impressive in that you'd think the odds would pretect me from failing that miserably twice.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

But the three people who got it are the ones who probably spend the most time with music.

Well, there's always gotta be an exception. I got it in one because of the two guys standing in the back, the other one was just too wee.
