Do any of you remember Aimee Mann as lead singer of ‘Til Tuesday? Or have I just aged myself by about 20 years?

Of course we remember ‘Til Tuesday, although I’m certain this does in fact, date us, but surely some young-uns remember “Voice Carry” at least?!

oops, forgot the “S”, that’s Voices Carry - and gee, I had that on tape. I must stop revealing these disturbing secrets!

she sounds like the woman who sang the song in one of the carebear movies(the old one)…lol. but i bet it’s just similar singing style. i remember the silliest things.
i loved how in that episode they actually gave someone in the band something to do besides perform. she had a line! how cool is that?!

That was so fuuuunnny when she busted out with that vampire town line. I guess in no small part because it was so surprising.

It is times like these I wish I were more into the bands of Buffy…can I pick up her CD at a local record shop near me?

abby - get hooked on itunes immediately, there are all of these cool suggested play lists with hundreds of Buffy songs. Plus, I’m pretty sure there was a Buffy CD (called “Radio Sunnydale” I think) that you can get on Amazon. You must jump wholeheartedly into the music that made the show extra cool!

Flippin’ sweet!

But, you see, the last time I went to a concert in Chicago(The Cure at the Rosemont back in ‘97, I think), a drunk guy behind us pulled out his peepee (as little Joey calls it) and starting spraying the legs of whole row of peeps (husband, sister, brother-in-law). I’m still scarred from that experience. But I will give it some very serious consideration. I do have my laydees up there that I haven’t seen for awhile so I could make a trip of it.

I just whipped out my Buffy Planner (no kidding, it was a gift) and Feb 1 is on a Wednesday, hmmm. Difficult, what with who will take care of my children and all…
somethingblue on December 18th, 2005 at 8:44 pm
Yes, it’s the same planner and I’m not even a student! I will check out the Park West website (I was out of town all weekend)…and peeing men…gross!

Just wanted to say a word about the great choice of song for that episode. I mean, Pavlov’s bell… right at the moment when Spike and Buffy realise that he is being triggered into eating people (Pavlov researched stimuli and managed to train a dog so that it became hungry simply by hearing a bell ring ; could there be a better simile ?)
Now, the songs we hear in Buffy episodes always reflect the Scoobies’ state of mind, but they usually deal with love, so that’s not too hard. Less easy to find a song about why a reformed vampire inexplicably starts slaughtering the town !
