Corwood, is "Crazy" typical of the album?
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

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.

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?

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").

Question for the hive mind (or perhaps for that portion of the hive mind who occasionally drops by here & would have special insight into this question & whom I would ask directly except I can't find her email anymore.) A co-worker wanted to know if I remembered a certain This American Life episode. I don't, but maybe one of you will. You can answer me here or at the profile address. Thanks.
Do you remember this episode, I can't seem to find it: It was about memory and a man who is an artist at the Chelsea Hotel, and he tells a story about a memory he has of him and his girlfriend who are in a field and see a horse. He breaks up with her and she dies in a fire and the rest of his life he painted horses without realizing that it was hearkening back to that moment. It is a convoluted synopsis but if you do remember please let me know.
It's a bit later than Theo's compilation, but emusic has one called The Humphrey Bogart Era with a buncha songs mostly from the early forties, plus Bogie soundbites between tracks. Most of the names will be familiar, even if you don't know their music. Pick hit, apropos of our origins: "Ill Wind" sung here by Lena Horne, but perhaps better known in these parts as the song Darla sang at Caritas so Lorne could read her ("The Trial" Angel S2).
