It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Adding my congrats to Rio and Sagat!

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!

These incomers never recognise Original Buffistas, H.

I feel like Orson Welles in The Magnificent Ambersons.
