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!
Waaaaah! Noooooo!
(But thank you for checking for me.)
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.

Connie, do you have a link to Vonnie's LoM soundtrack? I'm kind of curious now.

SA, it was back a bit in her LJ....
It's to a sendspace link so I think it may still be valid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hey! Check it out, Glenn O'Brien's TV Party - the legendary Manhattan cable access show from the late 70s and early 80s is now on DVD, and priced to move. (Mine was only $11.98.) It's Arty! It's Punk! It's a Party! It's Bunk!
Jon, I think you'd be interested in the ep I linked since it's got Tim Wright of Pere Ubu playing with Walter Steding on electric, drone-o-riffic violin. Plus Lenny Ferrari playing the New Yorker as a drum kit. All with Fripp in the audience.

Here's one for Sean. A big love fest for Tool.

Cool article, Hec. Thanks!
I was glad to see him mention the song for Maynard's mother. It's quite moving.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Random bit of randomness from the WFMU blog:
Unusual Recording Techniques #1: Lou Reed's "The Kids"
While flipping through a five-year-old copy of NME in a WFMU bathroom, I came across an article about "scary music" by Mark Beaumont. He wrote that the little kids who can be heard wailing on Lou Reed's track The Kids (from his 1973 LP Berlin) were the young children of producer Bob Ezrin, who were crying because their Dad had told them that their mother had just been killed in a horrible accident. Their mother was fine - the track needed some crying, so Producer Ezrin produced some. The crying starts at the 5:17 mark: MP3.
A few years later, Ezrin went on to co-produce Pink Floyd's The Wall, on which he utilized another group of children to great effect, the chorus of British children from The Islington Green School who sing the "We Dont Need No Education" chorus on Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2). In 2004, 23 of those kids got together to sue for the session fee they never received. No word on whether Ezrin's own children (now around 40 years old) are planning their own suit.
Crap. I didn't bring my iPod to work today, so I can't check out the Berlin thing until I get home....
