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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
You mean "Slow Walkin Roger ( The Fire Engine Guy)"?
I'd always heard this as "Slow Motion Walter (The Fire Engine Guy.)"

One of the winners plays the theramin, and they played part of his "audition tape".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hey, speaking of which, is that actually a woman singing in "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," like I read somewhere recently? Because to my ears it sounds awfully theremin-esque.

The original by the Tokens? Pretty sure it's a dude.

A little googling and I stand corrected:
Classically-trained singer Anita Darian supplied the high soprano during the sax solo and as the counter melody to the lead vocal. >[link]

I guess it's the Darian part. Not the "eee eee" counter melody, it really sounds not like a person.

Music can be very soothing. There's a couple of new songs that have really helped me through the last couple of weeks. One in particular is the new Jurassic 5 tune, Work it Out. It does have Dave Matthews singing on it, and I know some people have issues with him, but it's quite upbeat, and helped ease my troubled mind and heart through my recent rough times.
Hec, you might be interested in this -- there's a new band called Angels and Airwaves, formed by former Blink 182 frontman Tom DeLong. Why would you be interested, you might ask? Well, their overtly stated mission is to bring positivity and a bit of bubblegum sensibility back to rock. They may not be your cup of tea, but for that reason alone, I thought you might be interested in checking them out.
On a slightly different subject, a friend of mine who is in to punk rock is looking for good, current punk music. I'm thnking of pointing out to him that Bad Religion is still cutting albums, and that Iggy Pop just put out a new song (singing for the Teaddybears). Also, thanks to a rec from NoiseDesign, I'm going to point him in the direction of Jesus H. Christ and the Four Hornsmen, particularly their song Connecticut's For Fucking, currently getting some play on one of the Sirius stations. Anybody have any other good recs for a punk lover looking for new stuff?

It depends on what you and your friend's definition of punk is, but as I mentioned above, I'm really into The Gossip right now. The free iTunes download has expired, but they have a video up on the Kill Rock Stars home page.
