Well I sent an email to Apple and now it seems to be working. But, unless they have super speedy service, I am going to assume it was my fiddling that did the trick.

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.

I decided that I liked "Tokoloshe Man" enough to share, so it's up on Buffistarawk for your listening delectation.

Sweet! It's a key track in the development of Glam's big whomping beat. That's what Mike Leander was copying on Gary Glitter's hits.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My recent purchase: Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (The Motion Picture Soundtrack). I have this on LP but have not listened to it in ages, because it's on LP. The iTunes version I downloaded (I'm assuming the CD version is the same) has a lot of in between song dialog that the LP doesn't have. Some fun examples: Bowie says, "This is for Mick," before launching into "Let's Spend the Night Together." Awww - that's so sweet....
And, "I'd like to do a number by a guy who's I think is in Atlanta somewhere recording an album. And um, I think he's a friend of mine - anyway, he's one of the best songwriters around today. His name is Lou Reed, and this is one of his early ones - it's called 'White Light / White Heat." (I've always loved that cover of "White Light / White Heat.")
Are these bits of banter in the movie? (I really should watch the movie sometime, huh?)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The Partridge Family has started up on PAX with the pilot episode broadcast this past Friday. There's a short scene where Shirley is out shopping and hears the band's song on a portable radio being carried by a businessman. The man looked strangely familiar. Sure enough, the closing credits revealed him to be Gordon Jump, later of WKRP fame. Weird.

I think I definitely have enough songs for my party now. Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I really got a lot of great stuff I would never have discovered otherwise. Some favorites:
Favorite discovery: Nanci Griffith, "Summer Wages"
Most appropriate (and fun!): Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, "Summer Wine"
Most summery sounding: The Cowsills, "Indian Lake"
Best song I should have thought of but didn't: The Motels, "Suddenly Last Summer"
Best "summer" song whose lyrics don't contain "summer": The Fiery Furnaces, "Here Comes the Summer"
Best reminder of how great the music was on BtVS: The Sundays, "Summertime"
Best mention of The Beach Boys: Chuck Prophet, "Summertime Thing"
Best coincidental download: Teddybears, "Yours to Keep"
(The free single of the week—all about driving around with the top down in the summer!)
And I love love love "Boardwalk Arts"—thanks lisah! Do you ever play on this side of the bridge?

Well, they were both made of awesome.

Hmmm. Well, Jilli, your goth music special is showing something about Tupac instead of its TiVo listing. I'll see if it comes on after and adjust. Lame, MTV2!

Tupac wasn't Goth? I mean, with the dead and all? t /dark sarcasm
The soundtrack for Life on Mars is just fab, truly. UK-Music-That-Didn't-Get-Played-Over-Here is an unknown country to me. (Perhaps not surprisingly.)
(Heh -- I just checked iTunes and to my surprise they actually have "Indian Lake". And now it is MINE.)
Oh, and to round out my morning: here's a clip of Dr. Johnny Fever saying "Booger" on WKRP:
