You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

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.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

so, I am listening to my first full Guster album. what do people think of them?

I heard them for the first time just yesterday. I have to say I wasn't paying any great amount of attention but I can remember thinking "This song is very Elliot Smith-y. This song is very Simon and Garfunkel-y. This song is very ..."
