Jayne ,'Objects In Space'
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.
I'm not a fan of Lewis Taylor, but I think he's going to go over big stateside. He has a smooth-soul voice, guitar chops extraordinaire, and a penchant for odd, obscure covers (including his in-progress track-for-track remake of Trout Mask Replica as a soul-pop album).
Anyway, some of the music geeks I know really like the guy, but I can't get around his style, which seems altogether too slick for my tastes.

Aww, yeah, fast 'n' bulbous, baby
That's right, my lil' mascara snake
Dry that tin tear drop, darlin'
Thass right
Congratulations, Rio and Bob! Congrats, Fiona & Mr. Fiona! Welcome, Clara! Big Bro may be interested in the EDO classic (yeah, I'm pimpin' the band again) "Benno Knows a Secret," available at gmail in the buffistarawk section.
Oh, Jon, that label sounds fun - thanks for the link.
I just got the three Mountain Goats compilations of out-of-prints, one-offs, and oddities (you have to respect a singer-songwriter who can say, as Darnielle did in a recent interview, "my first three hundred or so songs...") And I love the liner notes. How sad am I!
This is the note for "Against Agamemnon":
This is actually one of two or three favorites out of my innumerable songs. If you read the play "Ajax" by Sophocles, its action will become clear as crystal. I feel confisdent that half of you think I'm lying and won't bother to investigate further, and that the other half are direct descendants of Sophocles who have been waiting for this moment to indict me on charges of copyright infringement.
Adding my congrats to Rio and Sagat!

Hee, Natter Dread in the music thread.
Now playing: The Gang of Four's Entertainment!, and there's not much better in this wicked old world.
Aim for the body rare, you’ll see it on tv
The worst thing in 1954 was the bikini
See the girl on the tv dressed in a bikini?
She doesn’t think so, but she’s dressed for the h-bomb

Synchronicity! The second I read those words, I hit that part of the song.

HA! Even infrequent and thread specific posters get sucked into the hivemind!
Eh, I've been among the Buffistas for a long time.
