Whoa, I forgot mine was coming up so soon! Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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 the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I can't even.
Thanks John! I adore Piaf.
C'etait la moindre des choses. That's poetry right there in that song, running freely from the taps. I think I'll do a little Piaf-diving.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Have you seen the video for this song? It's fantastic.
Yep! That's why I said, you know, when the musicians themselves have to dance to their music... It's great. That video is what made me a fan.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Speaking of videos I just saw The New Cars (with Todd Rundgren easily slipping into Ric Ocasek's voice. It's weird. But no more weird than his other chameleonic vocal displays) and Eurythmics "There Must Be An Angel."
That Annie Lennox? She can sing a little.
In conclusion, Pandas.

Pandas? Where?
In can-this-be-true-I-mean-seriously news:
Pioneering U.K. modern rock band the Smiths turned down a $5 million offer to reunite at the upcoming Coachella Valley Arts & Music Festival in southern California, former frontman Morrissey said Thursday.
His revelation, during a public interview at the South By Southwest Music & Media Conference in Austin, triggered gasps from the audience. When journalist David Fricke asked if he had considered it, Morrissey replied, "No, because money doesn't come into it," a response that drew applause from the crowd.
Of the critically adored act, which broke up in the late 1980s, Morrissey said, "It was a fantastic journey. And then it ended. I didn't feel we should have ended. I wanted to continue. (Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr) wanted to end it. And that was that."
5 million dollars???
Who has 5 million dollars to get a band, ANY band, to reunite. That's nuts.
Also, tina, I noticed you were getting into Ladytron back in...November. I love Ladytron a whole lot. If you're still interested, nearly every track on 604 is great ("Playgirl" was my first and the one that hooked me), and I second Broom's rec of "Seventeen," and I highly highly recommend "Blue Jeans," which is just gorgeous.
I'll keep my eye out for it, P-C, thanks.
SA, very excited to hear the mix.
I just ordered that new Tropicalia disc off Amazon. Excited. In unrelated-to-music news: another date with a different guy this weekend so let's hope I don't get stood up again. And KU plays its first game of the tourney tonight. Frankly, fates - if you are listening - and are only going to offer me one or the other - I'll take KU winning over a good date any day, just so we're clear.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Coachella Valley Arts & Music Festival
Did anyone else see this and think, "No. It's a carrot festival"?
Or have I just seen too many Bugs Bunny cartoons?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Has anyone with a Mac tried to access SA's mix? I got it downloaded okay, but Stuffit expander can't open it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Does anyone here use any of the following music download services:
- MusicNet@AOL
- Virgin Digital
- f.y.e. download zone
If you do, I need you to quickly check something for me.

Don't you remember the US festival?

Hey, my mix is up!
Here beginneth the notes:
1. The first song you'd put on a mix tape for somebody you were attracted to I don't think this is a one-size-all category! I mean, what you want is a song that shows that you and this other person are CONNECTED, right, on a deep and spiritual level, in that part of the soul that only music can touch? Or, of course, you could just get meta and use this one: Mix Tape = Love The Tah-Dahs
2. A song that makes you think of BTVS that was never used on the show Well, every time I hear this one, I think of Xander saying "I'm just gonna go home, lie down and listen to country music. The music of pain." I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You) Hank Williams
3. Cross-genre cover song (such as a soul musician covering a country song) See #15.
4. Quotes another song, either in the music or words – bonus points if by the same artist I love how the crowd goes nuts when they realize what's being interpolated here. Star, Star The Frames
5. Makes you want to get high, drunk, or, if it's your druthers, dizzy & giddy from spinning around in circles I don't drink, smoke, and I can get dizzy just by standing up too fast (so the thrill is gone) -- but this song makes me drive too fast and feel like picking fistfights for the hell of it. Does that count? Super Sex Morphine
