If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The DH stopped in at Ameoba yesterday and got me a Finnapalooza. Copies of Everyone is Here by the Finn Brothers along with One All by Neil (I ADORE me some Neil) and Feeding the Gods by Tim.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
He truly is the WBDH!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Currently listening to this awesome album: Dynamite With A Laserbeam: Queen As Heard Through The Meat Grinder Of Three One G. It's all... thrash/hardcore, I guess. It's cracking my shit up.
If anyone is familiar with it - who does the song "Lily Of The Valley"?
eta: This came out in 2002.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Janet Kagan is looking for the full lyric to "The Man with the Sign" by Sheldon Harnick (set to the tune of "Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa): [link]
Any ideas or suggestions? Or pointers to an actual recording?

Album cover quiz. I think most of them are classic rock. I've got about 5 right so far, and there are many more where I know the band but not the alubm title.
This didn't work for me in Firefox.

Interesting. Plus many of the songs have links to videos, audio, etc....

#27 "Turn Turn Turn"
by The Byrds
ORIGINAL ARTIST: God
Hee!
Though originally recorded and arranged by Pete Seger, it was God's surprisingly good lyrics from Ecclesiastes that really made the song danceable.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Hah! I was just coming back to post that.
I will say, though, that any list that thinks Bananarama's version of "Venus" is better than Shocking Blue's is suspect.

How come I didn't know this existed?
#3 "Hurt"
by Johnny Cash
ORIGINAL ARTIST: Nine Inch Nails
This is probably the single most requested song for inclusion by retroCRUSH readers. And how can you blame them? You can totally picture Johnny's world crumbling away from him as he sings this mournful tale of how "Everyone I know goes away in the end." The video adds an especially eerie touch as June stands by his side, then vanishes. I don't know how Trent Reznor could ever sing this song again. It's Johnny's now.
This song was on heavy rotation on MTV when a close friend of mine died of AIDS. I still find it very hard to listen to. The Johnny Cash video brought tears to my eyes....

I love them both (pretty much equally).
