David Buskin

Why did he feel the need to have a similar photo of himself on the front and back? This is a guy you might see at Rite Aid. No offense. Plenty of fine folks go to Rite Aid. I went there tonight! And I saw this guy, David Buskin. Let’s just be straight: the 70’s were tough on guys with thinning hair. You were expected to grow it out to look cool, but man, that doesn’t look right. Fortunately, I live in a time where I can shave my head and be done with it. So let’s tip our hat to all the men in the seventies with sad, long, thin hair. When I Need You Most Of All https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lNIbKxxoC8 It has a John Denver Neil Young vibe. This song was probably inspired by a houseboat going off into the sunset. Don’t forget the importance of houseboats in these records. Every album produced in the seventies, there was a houseboat involved. Even it wasn’t recorded on a houseboat. Somebody got f——- on a houseboat, they did coke on a houseboat. A lot of this Dollar Record listening is just a game of Find The Houseboat. (this seems to be the only track online, so you’ll have to imagine what the others sound like, and our commentary doesn’t help much. sorry.) Come With In this happy song, he’s on a hot air balloon. Hot Air Balloons: also important in the seventies. Alternate modes of transportation played a big role. I’m goin’ my own path, even if it’s on a ridiculously gigantic thing that floats at 1 m.p.h. I don’t have to take the highway to get to Cape Girardeau, Missouri! If it means half way on the houseboat, half way in the balloon, so be it. I just got these ludes. You haven’t lived until you’ve been in a hot air balloon on ludes. We’re going to Chicago tonight. I’m going to land on the (then) Sears tower, be a big-shot on the news and then head back to Peoria. I may not make it to Peoria. I may have to fill up in Kankakee. Kankakee was meant to have a filling station for hot air balloons. It was supposed to be a thing in the seventies. This album would be on replay in the hot air balloon dealership. David’s voice goes up really high to sell the song, just like the salesmen would in the dealership. “I THINK YOU’D REALLY LIKE this hot air balloon.” I’m sold. Even with my fear of heights. I’m sick of my Toyota. The Winter Comes This sounds a little more somber, even angry. I remember this past winter, it was very tough. It got down to 50 degrees and I got a cold. But we were able to rise above it in our hot air balloon. Remember how the houseboat got frozen in? Those college co-eds in town for the volleyball tournament were very disappointed. David has a personal reason for sh——- on winter. Listen, he’s an artist. He’s trying something new, there’s plenty of Christmas songs. “Come back with me to LA on my hot air balloon tonight, you midwestern rube.” He fired up the hot air balloon, landed it on the Capitol Records building and hooked up the keyboard and pounded this guy out. They’re like “F___! F___! You’re right! Get in here and record this about winter while your balloon is tethered to the building.” “David! Get in here!”

David’s first album doesn’t seem to be available online, but let us know when you find a way to buy it. Here’s what he’s up to now (note his successful haircut):

From Doctor Who Magazine #475: Actually, I found this almost a year ago but didn’t think of sending it directly to DWM. That image is my crop! I just assumed the term would be out of use by this time.
