'Beneath You'


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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

apparently my brain couldn't retain the pink poodle imagery

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Corwood, is "Crazy" typical of the album?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

None of the other songs are quite as fantastic, but most have a similar (and brilliant) blend of 60s soul and 00s production.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

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?

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

Upload please, Theo.

It's not meant to be clicked on like an ordinary link, David. You need to copy the link and paste it into the iTunes "subscribe to podcast" thingie (in Windows, it's under "advanced").

Aha! I knew you'd correct my stupidity.

eta: Sweet! It's downloading now.
