Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

Closed Threads

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.

lurve this song so much

Me too. First time I heard it was on Corwood's Air We Breath (2004? 03??) Mix. It led my (now gone forever) most-played list by about 20.

New Release Tuesday! And it's a good one. Sitting on my desk or downloaded to my pod are the following: new Built to Spill, new Flaming Lips (both from Amazon), and the new Wilderness (available on emusic).

I am going to listen to the Wildnerness first and Flaming Lips second and wait to get home so I can really savor the BtS since I have waited for it the longest, and it's getting very very good reviews.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Glad I could introduce you to a song you loved so much!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Not that you were looking for his validation, but it's an interesting appreciation for somebody well out of their demographic.

Are all his reviews that pretentious and condescending? Or is did he put that on especially for Placebo?

I, no surprise, really like the new Placebo. I think Sleeping With Ghosts was a slightly stronger album, but that's because it has my all-time favorite Placebo song on it.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Ooh. I should track that down to give it a listen.

I'm very very excited because there's new Streets and new Sufjan Stevens and new Cat Power! It's a great week for indie-pop.

Xgau is not for nothing considered the dean of American rock criticism. For every goofy review the man turns out (and the number of these is increasing in his old age), he's turned out hundred to thousands of brilliant appreciations of artists who never would have sold unit one without him. David likes to joke about the man, but I'll bet it comes from a mostly affectionate place.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

The only new thing I know about is an album of Illinois outtakes due out in July. [link]

It's not a new state. It'a The Avalanche: Outtakes And Extras From The Illinois Album, coming out 7/25, but the link has a track available.

ETA: Aaaaaaand Jon beat me to it.
