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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Just received word from a reliable source that Grant McLennan of the Go-Betweens died in his sleep today. The source is second or third hand, so I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything more direct.

Aww, fuck.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

That breaks my heart in a million little pieces.

That breaks my heart in a million little pieces.

I contemplated going upthread and leaving an open white-font tag just so you wouldn't see it until the weekend was over.

An Australian friend of mine tells me that "such is the esteem the band is held in Oz, that Grant's passing was the subject of TV network evening news stories."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Congratulations Hec and JZ!!!
