'Underneath'
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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I saw the video for Joan's current song "AC/DC" (a Sweet cover) and she looks Even Hotter Than Usual.

Oh, I also just got home from seeing Tool at the Staples Center. It was an incredible show, and we had great seats. Maynard and the band were in top form. Absolutely awesome. A very mellow show for a Tool concert, but the latest album is much more mellow, though still dark and hard edged. At one point, after one of the songs, Adam Jones (the guitarist) walked over to Maynard and hugged him for a long time. My friend who bought the tickets wondered what that was about, and I told him that apparently Maynard's mother died not long ago, and that the new albim was heavily influenced by that. I think the song in question, Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days, are specifically about this event in Maynard's life. It was quite powerful.

And going for a hat trick:
Also, the more I see Tool in concert, the more convinced I become that Danny Carey is one of the best drummers who ever lived. The man can do very fast triplets and quadruplets one-handed. And he can pull off four different, complex rhythms, one with each limb, and he's able to hit drums on opposite sides of his very large kit without ever missing. And if he doesn't have perfect time, he's damned close to it -- he did not, as far as I could tell from my pretty good seats, use a click track of any kind.

That is impressive. I remember Levon Helm being boggled by Bill Black (of Elvis' original Sun band) being able to do a one-handed military press.

Apropos of nothing: I just met Jon B. in real-life-person!
He is safely on his way to see lots of rock-n-roll. (Whereas I am stuck at work. Hmmph.)

I think it's apropos of something.

Was he wearing silver pleather?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Alas, no silver pleather. That's one of the new TSA restrictions, doncha know.
I am now in Tina's lovely apartment, after seeing the first five of the 25+ bands at the touch & go festival. I enjoyed parts of each of the sets, but no one was amazing all the way through. Friday highlight was probably the last band, !!! (pronounced chk chk chk), who had the indie hipsters dancing. Had the show been indoors, and had there been a roof, it would have been raised.
Tina hasn't gotten home yet, but I've been awake since 5am EDT, so I may be asleep when she shows up. zzzzz
