From the very first episode, Tac and I became somewhat addicted to the tv series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (that’s almost a little embarrassing to say, but it’s so so true.) A couple of years ago Tac bought the first three seasons to keep him entertained while he lived in the back of a skate shop in Vegas that we used to own (one of those situations when the house and the business don’t quite sell at the same time). We started watching it again lately; finished the first season and have started the second. The vampires, Spike and Drusilla show up in the next episode, can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to this. We are so dorky that our yellow lab is named Spike, because they are both blond and have sharp teeth.
You don’t get lines like this from any ol’ show: “I’m an old fashioned gal, I was raised to believe that men dig up the corpses and women have the babies.”
Yes there is a musical point to all of this. First, the theme song was so great. Every time I hear it I want to start head banging ( I actually have never done that in my life, mostly I just think about it). You can listen to a bit of it here, if you want to walk down memory lane. Also, the show had tons of bands playing at “the Bronze,” where Buffy and the gang hung out a lot. The one that stands out the most to me is Cibo Matto. We had never heard of them until we saw Buffy one night, we ended up getting two of their albums. That lead us to be interested in Sean Lennon’s music, who recently made a really good album called “Friendly Fire.” Don’t you love the musical circle of life? Point being: Buffy was cool because she slayed vampires in her prom dress, oozed with witty one liners, and had cool music.
I’m just going to throw this in, the new Smashing Pumpkins album is available to purchase now if your ears are in the mood to be lulled into the seductive, razory, goodness that is Zeitgeist. 
seriously though, it is good.
And The Mummers, who I have previously blogged about have their first single available on i tunes. Check them out, if you like them, support them and buy their single!
