What do The Smiths have in common with Abba, Billy Joel, Queen, The Beach Boys and John Lennon?
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

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.

That's an awful story, Jon. How sad for the families.
I can understand the urge to kill yourself. I can't understand taking other people, strangers, along with you.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
That happened just a couple miles down the road from where the first F2F was held.

If I only had a brain...
WHy not park on the train tracks?
Because it really, really sucks for the train driver.

So horrible. People (who clearly knew the guys who were killed) were talking about it at the music festival I went to yesterday. And there was a "plea for forgiveness" from the girl who hit them in the paper this morning. My mind simply can't get around the idea that she knew she was going to injure or kill a few random innocent people in her quest to kill herself and just didn't care. ___________________________
To change tones dramatically, the two-day music fest that Pitchfork put on this weekend was HOT but really good, well organized and well attended. I just went and purchased my first Andrew Bird CD after seeing him early in the line up yesterday.
The Wrens were good but no matter how close I got to the stage the sound was awful. Thankfully, the sound was much better for the Decemberists who were fun, energetic and fully worshipped by the adoring crowd.
ETA:
Hey Tina, I found my Illinoise and it's gorgeous. Reminds me in places of Elliot Smith and Yoshimi, but also Elephant 6 stuff.
Isn't it though? I was pitching it to EVERYONE this weekend.

She could have driven her car into the side of a nice solid building. . . or you know the side of a rairroad underpass. . . those are usually pretty sturdy.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
What I want to know is, she's a model and couldn't score enough drugs to OD? What's up with that?
What a horrible thing.
