I like much of Buffett's work (the stuff he's done the past 15 years is pretty wobbly tho) but apart from maybe a handful of deep tracks, it's all jarring in a tiki context. Sure, he's escapist but in a very different way than we strive to achieve in our tiki spaces. Tiki strives to distance itself from the real world by simulating a make-believe paradise, whilst Buffett's escapism attempts to make the real world bearable (usually by consuming copious amounts of alcohol). I mean, he's got a song called "Boat Drinks"--we're not talking craft cocktails here! ;-)
