Flutter, Bark, and Fubar

I'm not really sure what kind of mood you're in right now (I mean, after all. . .), so I'll try to accomodate a couple and then attempt a reconciliation. What footwork this will require (specifically, a pirouette), what mixing of metaphors, but music hath the freakin' power, wot? Happy weekend. (As always, click the green artists' names for more information.)
