Wash ,'War Stories'
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.
Something for Jilli, Hec, and hey, everyone else. That's definitely Klaus Nomi on stage.
Heh. I saw that when it first aired when I was in high school. Though apparently my brain couldn't retain the pink poodle imagery. I more remember the Klaus solo performance on SNL.

I'm not sure that human psychology was meant to hold such images for the long term.
Hey, I got this Gnarls Barkley album and it's pretty amazing.
Corwood, is "Crazy" typical of the album?
None of the other songs are quite as fantastic, but most have a similar (and brilliant) blend of 60s soul and 00s production.
Whilst looking for other things in the iTunes store, I stumbled across a real deal -- 60 songs for $7.99, for a collection called Rhythm Crazy: Popular Music from the 1920's, which features a huge swathe of things that I've heard in other versions -- "Tiptoe through the Tulips" and "Singin' in the Rain" and performers I've heard of but never heard, like Al Jolson and Sophie Tucker, not to mention Bing Crosby, The Andrews Sisters, Eddie Cantor, Noel Coward, as well as Louis Armstrong, Paul Whiteman, Helen Kane, The Comedy Harmonists, and more more more. There's no liner notes, of course, so I suspect from some of these performers (the Andrews Sisters?) that later recordings of 20's hits were included, but what the hell.
Ooh, good find.
Thanks for that tip, Theo. Looks good.
Oh Spidra, this would be right up your alley, wouldn't it?
Noel Coward turns out to be a better performer than I thought.
I should upload a song or three to buffistarawk, shouldn't I?
Upload please, Theo.
Hey Jon! When I click on your podcast link, I get:
