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.
Holy late to the party, Batman! It's a PE/TV mashup by the good folks (or one guy) at Go Home Productions:
'BRING THE TELEVISION' Public Enemy / Television Bring The Noise / Marquee Moon Bit of a quicky this one. I had originally paired Television with J-Lo's 'Waiting For Tonight' but ran out of patience with key clashes in the chorus. Next option? Pull out a rap acapella. Slap! Apparently Tom Verlaine listens to WFMU. August 2003
Not sure how I missed it on previous ventures to GHP, but if it was ever there it's gone now. But I wouldn't torment my friend Corwood by talking about a Television mashup if I couldn't deliver the goods. It took some searching, and I didn't find the mp3, but I found a streaming audio version here. It starts at 12:20 & is about a minute and a half long. Was worth the effort (& not just because I ignored my job for a bit.)
And I think Mr. Bubblegum Music Is the Naked Truth may be interested in and Archies/Velvet Underground mashup (Sugar Sugar/I'm Waiting for the Man/The Gift). Lester Bangs should have lived to hear this.
Lester Bangs should have lived to hear this.
Absolutely. Though I think he'd actually prefer the Stooges / Salt N' Peppa mash of Push It / No Fun.
"Sexual Wonderwall" is pretty awesome too.
The Gossip have a free iTunes download. That, and their KRS video podcast episode are both worth downloading.
So, according to Noel Gallagher, the freeze frame technique in Trainspotting was first used in the video for Sabotage. I watched MTV; I got what I deserved.
Well that pretty much justifies my feeling that both Gallaghers are among (amongst?) the biggest wankers on the planet, as the technique in the Sabotage video was (deliberately and lovingly) lifted from 70s cop shows.
Also, nobody deserves Noel, Buffy Not!Spring.
Scratch one off the "People I've always wanted to see but haven't yet" list. I saw Tom Waits last night.
And thanks to Corwood for posting the tour info last month. Early July was hectic for me, and I might well have missed it had I not seen it here.

I'm both jealous (but not inoridinantly, because I've seen him twice -
pauses to cabbage patch briefly
- and it was nice he was playing places he hadn't in a while/ever), and also genuinely happy for you. How was the show?
I've seen him twice - the first time was about 11 years ago, the second a few years after that. Both times he was amazing, and had put together an amazing band. A lot of his songs sounded so much better live (because of different arrangements) than on CD.
In summation, if you have a chance to see Waits live, kill anyone who gets in your way of tickets....
I've seen him twice - the first time was about 11 years ago, the second a few years after that.
Yeah - I saw him on the FRANK'S WILD YEARS tour and the MULE VARIATIONS tour. The prior show has a slight edge in my memories, both for the presence of Marc Ribot (who I also saw with the Lounge Lizards) and because Wait's did Tom Traubert's Blues solo at the piano AND a cover of Papa's Got a Brand New Bag complete with a Waitsian version of James Brown's footwork, but they were both awsome shows.
The show was excellent, but maybe a little too short - I wasn't ready for it to end. Duke Robillard on guitar was excellent, but I wish I could've seen Ribot play w/ Tom. Tom's son Casey was on drums.
"Shore Leave" made my night. "Murder in the Red Barn" was a radically different arrangement from the album - a slow jazzy blues.
Only one new song. I was expecting to here more stuff from the upcoming "Orphans" box.
