Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach

Closed Threads

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.

Elliott Smith's "The Biggest Lie" which I always play when I'm waiting for the el and feeling melancholy. It starts: "I'm waiting for the train/The subway that only goes one way." Sad dude.

And my goodness, Happy Happy Birthday Hec! May your year be full of juicy Waits insights, no writers' block and lots of family joy!

Ann, that's a ferret.

All this time, and nobody mentioned Petula Clark's (okay, Jimmy Webb wrote it) "Don't Sleep in the Subway, Darling"?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Someone just offered me a bunch of codes each of which are good for downloading 30 songs off of iTunes. I'm thinking I should focus on iTunes "exclusives" since I have access to most other stuff via the radio station. What exclusives should I download?

A quick glance through the exclusive menu and I see The White Collar Boy EP (which is not listed as available on the Belle and Sebastian site so may actually be an exclusive) and... uhm, not much else. A remixed Sonic Youth single...

iTunes has a Mountain Goats EP that is only available in Australia right now called Babylon Springs. Whoa. Perusing the Mountain Goats selection tells me that the song "Cotton" was included on the soundtrack for that showtime series "Weeds." Go them!

That's not much help but there you have it.

'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"

Subway songs should also include "Thank You, Lord, For Sending Me the F Train" by Mike Doughty, and "Take the 'A' Train" by Duke Ellington

As well as "Charlie on the MTA" by the Weavers. How cool is it that the Boston subway system has its own folksong?

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

I've got one about the Green Line on a collection of songs about the 2004 Red Sox.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The MBTA is replacing tokens with "CharlieCards".

This exists? Where could one purchase a copy? The bf's birthday is coming up and I'm fairly sure he would be quite grateful if I got him this.

eta - the Red Sox thing, not just the song. He likes the Sox.

You can buy it right here.

It's pretty good, too. A mix of original songs and (basically) baseball filk. Using lots of older soul musicians.
