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.

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

"Starless Summer Sky" - Marshall Crenshaw (gorgeous pop song)

"Summer Sun" - Chris Stamey (points for beginning the song with a sodapop "pop")

"I Live For the Sun" - Sun Rays (one of the best non-Beach Boys beach summer songs)

"Like a Summer Thursday" - Townes Van Zandt

"The Summer I Read Colette" - Rosanne Cash

"Here Comes the Summer" - Undertones

"Summer Lies" - Magnetic Fields

"Staying Out for the Summer" - Dodgy (excellent Brit pop power pop song. muy catchy)

Without summer in the title?

"Night Moves" - Bob Seger

"Dancing in the Streets" - Martha and the Vandellas

"Sunny South Kensington" - Donovan (very mod song, actually)

"Sunlight Bathed The Golden Glow" - Felt

"Light and Sun / Reach for the Day" - Polyphonic Spree

"California Sun" - Ramones (and others)

"On Some Faraway Beach" - Brian Eno (clearly a Beach Boys tribute, abstracting them into Eno-land)

It's kind of tacky to mention, I guess, but my band has a pretty summery song about the arts of the Boardwalk--sand sculpture, airbrushing, etc.

I'd say it's pretty relevant, given that I'm across the bay from you, aren't you in Baltimore?

You know, I was going to go to bed early tonight, but now I have about 50 songs to go through on itunes.

I have no idea what this means but thanks. And please to explain.

This sounds fab. Unfortunately, I don't have a car this weekend.

Wow. Thanks. I feel like it's Christmas morning. I guess I should start reading this thread regularly, huh?

Speaking of which, I noticed Sean was asking about Bach's Toccata and Fugue. Sean, if you're interested, I've emailed the version I have, played on one of the most beautiful organs I have ever seen (in Lezajsk, Poland).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now playing on WFMU - a disco version of "Song From M*A*S*H*"

(Why they call it that, instead of "Suicide Can Be Painless," I don't know. Oh, and it's by "Unknown.")
