Anyone? Pretty please?
I'll nab it for you, Jilli.
Remember that sex we were planning to have, ever again?

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.

Okay, it's TiVoed.
Actually, it's airing on Sunday, 9/17 on a show called Subterranean. The Rhino Goth Box is being released on 9/19 - and the special is related.

Ah-ha! I will have to let the pet DJ know; he's running the release party for the Rhino Goth Box on the evening of the 20th. (He's had his copy of the box set for a couple of weeks, and has been gloating like a gloaty thing.)

Huh.
I was reading up on Donna Loren one of the big cult figures of the Beach Movie craze of the sixties. Very talented singer who never really got a chance to do that one perfect album, but had several impressive performances in the Beach movies.
Turns out she wound up marrying Lenny Waronker - one of the most important west coast producers. Famous for his work and association with Randy Newman and Van Dyke Parks. (Why didn't you record your wife, you big doof? You would've been perfect for her.)
Their children include Anna Waronker - who was in the band That Dog. ("She's Kissing Christian"), and Joey Waronker - the drummer who played with Beck and filled in for Bill Berry with R.E.M.
Anna is married to Steve MacDonald of Red Kross.
Hollywood...

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Anna is married to Steve MacDonald of Red Kross.
... who went to high school with my best friend. (Sort of, few years apart.)
Always thought I just wanted to play my songs ... now I think it's time we at least get along ...
Love me some Red Kross.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's weird. It's like discovering Wendy Melvoin (Wendy & Lisa, Prince etc.) was the daughter of Mike Melvoin's (first call sixties studio piano player. Played on everything from Mission: Impossible theme to Pet Sounds).
Or that Chris and Paul Weitz (the guys who produced American Pie) are the children of Susan Kohner (who played the gorgeous black daughter who could pass in Imitation of Life).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
who was in the band That Dog.
That was the media hook for That Dog -- that they were all kids of famous music people. Other members were the Hayden sisters (Petra, et al), who were the spawn of Charlie.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
That's Haden, not Hayden. Another fun fact about Petra Haden that surprised the crap out of me recently: she appeared on Sunn 0)))'s 2nd album.

Or that Lenny Kravitz is the son of Roxie Roker, AKA Helen Willis on The Jeffersons.

Well, I knew Anna was Lenny's daughter. I just didn't realize that she was Donna Loren's daughter. Oh well, I'll connect all the dots eventually.
Also? Doyle Bramhall is Wendy Melvoin's brother-in-law.
Other famous Hollywood Kids In Music: Terry Melcher (Doris Day's son, key West coast producer, conduit to Charles Manson); Peter Lewis of Moby Grape was Loretta Young's son; Dino (son of Dean Martin), Desi (son of Lucy and Desi) and Billy; Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
And of course, Don Grady from My Three Sons was in The Yellow Balloon.
