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.

It wouldn't be a summer mix without:
- "In the Summertime" - Mungo Jerry
- "Sunny Afternoon" - The Kinks
- "Cruel Summer" - Bananarama
- "Under the Boardwalk" -- any version, really
- "Indian Lake" -- the Cowsills
Oh, incidentally, while looking up the Cowsills on Wikipedia, I found out the sad news that Barry Cowsill drowned during Katrina in NO.

Oh, look at them.
sighs, marks post to get the tracks on the home computer.
I'm downloading Tom Waits famous (locally anyway) 1999 concert at the Paramount Theater in Oakland from that same site. (The Paramount is where our wedding guests joined us to see Viva Las Vegas the night before the wedding.)
Oh, look. There's a new Deerhoof EP on that site, too.
