is currently filming a Kurosawa movie
Is Kiyoshi related to Akira?
You know, I just assumed, but now that you mention it, I really don't know. It's possible either (1) no, or (2) yes, but that doesn't guarantee quality.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
the Firesign Theatre's third album.
Is that "Don't Crush that Dwarf...", cause if so that's a strong recommendation.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I can think of at least two Buffistas (besides Tim) who are in IMDb. My cousin is, too.

Si, on both counts.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
William Ham sent me a disc of his radio show last week
Which show? He's done 3; the early '90s one that Whales and Motherbanger come from, On The Hour which is where Alan Partridge first appeared and the awesome, shattering, not actually that funny but unmissable Blue Jam , which is the downright oddest radio I think I've ever heard. There are also rumours of his pre-national radio days, when he is said to have piped helium into other studios live on air, etc. Most of his TV work is worth tracking down, too.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
There's a funny piece with Richard Thompson in this week's New Yorker where the writer follows him through a record store as he picks out 6 albums to buy. But this is the best bit:
"I was at Buckingham Palace. There was a reception for the English music industry, and for some reason I got invited. About five of your favorite royals were circulating about." The Queen was there, and Thompson was introduced. "It was short and sweet. She said, 'Well, tell me, what was Nick Drake really like?' "
Seriously?
"No. She said, 'And what do you do?' I said, 'I’m a singer-songwriter,' because there was a roomful of guitar players— Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck—and I didn’t want to be another guitar player. She said, 'Oh, you do both! At the same time! How wonderful for you.' So I said, 'I hope it’s wonderful for other people as well.' She said, 'Ha ha ha ha.' Then she went, you know, 'Next!' "

Actually my favorite was, "Whoa! Rat!"
Fresh Air yesterday rebroadcast an interview with Robert Moog. Been hectic here so I missed a lot, but what I caught was pretty good. Especially loved his rendition of "Summertime".

Moog played "Summertime"? Or someone else played it on one of his theremins?
