Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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 am a clueless auntie trying to figure out what kids these days are listening to. My nephew is 10, but he's seemingly grown out of most toys. (Or he has them already.) So I'm thinking I'd get him a gift certificate for iTunes. But I do want to ahve soemthign for him under the tree, so I was thinking I'd get him a CD, but I don't really know what's recent in his type of music. He likes kind of heavier stuff like Nickelback, Green Day, Sum 41 and KISS (Proof he is my brother's son.) Any suggestions?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You would have if you had been paying attention...

No one read my link? Or everyone hated it?

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
Corwood, it is, to quote Mr Crofton 'a very fine piece of writing.' I'm a puppy-lover myself.

Thanks! I was briefly wondering if I'd offended the board's sensibilities with my lack of self-pimping nuance.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
JZ and Matilda and I were doing errands in the East Bay before collecting Emmett. So I decided to test drive my Spy Jazz mix (heading to Sean) and had JZ give her impressions of each song. She's a bit under exposed to sixties spy and caper films and had a tendency to cast them with 40s stars, but she got the idea.
"This song sounds like an ash blonde in a cat suit drinking a scotch and soda."
"In this song, David Niven is talking to Sophia Loren in a swank nightclub while they're being watched by international jewel thieves."
Then we got to the theme for Casino Royale (the sixties one - score by Bacharach).
JZ: "There's a certain kind of music that makes me feel kind of embarrased. This music is on the border."
Me: "Like an older person trying to be hip. Like a guy with a combover with long sideburns?"
JZ: "Yeah, sort of like that. Certain songs just make my skin crawl with embarassment."
Me: "Like Herb Alpert and the Tiajuana Brass? You don't really seem to get the groovy mod sixties."
JZ: "That's it. Grooviness embarrasses me. Like that song, 'Groovy Kind of Love'? It makes me cringe."
Me: "Does it help to know that song was written by two teenagers?"
JZ: "No."
I think I need to put that on her headstone: "Grooviness embarrasses me."

Or "Grooviness is not my bag, baby."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Or "Grooviness is not my bag, baby."
Are you trying to kill me some more? Don't say the G word! Don't even type it!
