Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

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.

'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"

You have a Combustible Edison song I haven't heard?

Talk about your Christmas presents.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Combustible also does a great version of Sleigh Ride.

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

Your show is kicking ass this week, Jon.

move out and draw fire

Mmmm, I just tuned into WOXY and it's playing "Give the Jew Girl Toys." This is a good thing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There's a BBC documentary on "Fairytale of New York":

The Story of Fairytale of New York

8pm, BBC3

While the fight to bring those responsible for Kirsty MacColl's untimely death continues (see www.justiceforkirsty.org), her collaboration with the Pogues is the subject of this fine documentary. The Christmas song for people who don't like Christmas songs, Fairytale of New York may now suffer from over-play but it's still a cracker, one replete with the bitterness of soured love and curdled affection. Which, when you think about it, is what Christmas is all about. Plus, it's the only context in which shouting "cheap lousy faggot" at one's beloved is acceptable. Christina Rossetti and Cliff Richard, take a seat.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

What songs give you an unadulterated happy? I'm cranky and trying to be less so, and I think it might be fun to put together a WOO! playlist sometime in the future.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

What songs give you an unadulterated happy?

Certain hard rock songs give me a stiffie.

"Search and Destroy" - Stooges
"Turn on the News" - Husker Du
"I Got Your Number" - Undertones

Then there are the glorious pop songs, which is a different joy.

"Heavenly Pop Hit" - The Chills
"Don't Worry Baby" - Beach Boys
"What You Do To Me" - Teenage Fanclub
"Ain't That Enough" - Teenage Fanclub
"It Won't Be Wrong" - Byrds

Also uptempo soul hits:

"The Love You Save" - Jackson 5
"25 Miles" - Edwin Starr
"I Don't Need No Doctor" - Ray Charles
