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.

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.

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.

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.
