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?
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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.

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

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.")

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I think the song title is "Suicide is Painless". :-)

"Suicide is Painless"
Oh. Yeah.
The only way to win is cheat
and lay it down before I'm beat
and to another give my seat
for that's the only painless feat
'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
Heh. Now I wanna hear this song. The lyrics rank up there with my favorite suicide songs: "Don't Try Suicide" by Queen and "Can't Stand Losing You" by the Police.
