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.

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

I did have to go fishing to pull the writers away from their indie / punk / power pop / white guy bands.
Yeah, I remember. I'm still fairly rockist in outlook (that is, in how I understand rockism, which has been defined by the opposition, and where the hell is Angus, anyway?), but I've become much more of a hip-hop fan since hearing indie rock-sympatico guys like MF Doom, Lyrics Born, and Cannibal Ox.
Not enough rap for its place in the music constellation, but some balance.
I agree.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Anyone have the ability to convert tapes to digital files? I have some old no longer labeled mix tapes, plus a mix my brother made for me when he worked at a radio station with him talking on it and I'd love to have them digitally.
Some of the mixes I'd just liek to know what is on them so I can replace the songs with digital versions, but the birthday mix I'd love a copy of teh full thing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sorry, msbelle, I haven't yet mastered the analog import on my Mac.
Huh. Jimmy Neutron just riffed on Blur's "Girls and Boys."
What does it mean when 90s Britpop is on 00s Nickelodeon?
I've downloaded ninety brazilian rare and exotic bubblegum tracks in the last couple days. Feh. Now I only have to label them all.
Still, Partridge Family 2200 A.D. cartoon has surprisingly good stuff. Also liking Mission Magic (songs by Rick Springfield).

After putting me off for months, Richard Thompson's publicist just emailed me to say that he has no interest in participating in this book. I first asked for an interview in February. Considering that it's mid-July, I'm not exactly surprised, but I wish he'd just let it be, because now I'm worried that the contacts I just got (Pete Zorn, Simon Nichol) this week won't be willing to talk with me.

Another list from The Guardian: 50 albums that changed music

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yep, I have to agree - that is a list of 50 albums....
So they're going against conventional wisdom and not naming a Sex Pistols album? Well, I gotta agree that the Stooges, Patti Smith, Ramones, Velvet Underground, The Clash, etc. albums that they named are more influential than anything the Sex Pistols did.
Has there been a critical reasessment of the Sex Pistol's influence (as opposed to their importance) lately, or am I confused?
I suppose I should say that I've never been a big Pistols fan. I got into proto-punk and post-punk before I ever got into punk, and once I got into punk I got into all sorts of punk bands, but I never became a huge Pistols fan (although I do like some of their songs).

Ann, that's a ferret.
Curious that without Pet Sounds there's no Sergeant Pepper, and without Otis Blue there's no Aretha's "Respect" (and presumably, I Never Loved...) -- yet in both cases, the original influence is ranked lower than what came after.
And as I type the edit, the radio comes out with -- "Respect."
