It's a pretty good album, Sumi, what with the mid-80s indie rock referents.
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
what happens more (for me) is i have to choose from two possibilities which are identical, or nearly so.
Yeah, that's happened to me a few times, but the Godz/Nico thing cracked me up.

Nico had a better band, but, y'know, I think the Godz might have had the edge in the vocals department.

Hec! The missing Cowboy Bebop CD has been found! I shall burn a copy and send that to you as soon as possible.
Excellent!
We're reviewing The Godz in the book, and were going to do Nico's Desertshore but Kim bailed on it this week. The book is getting stuffed fat and we're both scrambling to finish our own reviews. I've already finished my pieces on James Booker (New Orleans pianist - with an eyepatch!), The Individuals, Terence Trent D'arby, and Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys. My Neutral Milk Hotel is almost done. Gun Club mostly done. Graham Gouldman almost done. Klymaxx mostly done. Still working on Swamp Dogg, k. mccarty, Bo Diddley, Oscar Brown Jr., Bongos Bass and Bob (Penn Jillette project), Temptations (their album 1990, which came out in 1972 if you're wondering), Sugarpie DeSanto, Cowboy BeBop...fuck. I still have a lot to do. Might have to drop The Chills Submarine Bells even though I love it tons, because we've got so much indie rock/pop already.

That'll be one less heavenly pop song waiting for you in the afterlife, y'know.

I might do 'em anyway. I love that record with deep geekly love. How could I not with lyrics about sitting around reading Swamp Thing while listening to The Byrds? We're already covering one of their albums (Brave Words) and only a select few musicians are gettings doubles (Mekons, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Graham Gouldman/10cc, Sparks, Feelies/Yung Wu).

Hey, I'm part of two of those doubles! Excellent.

I love Brave Words more. But that might be because the first time they played in the US I saw them at TT's and then Maxwell's the next night and they were playing stuff from that as-yet-unreleased LP and it Moved. My. World.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Gun Club mostly done.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Maxwell's: Just had to defend my description of The dBs as part of "The Hoboken Scene" of the early 80s to my co-editor. "But aren't they from North Carolina? I associate them with North Carolina."
Yeah, but they didn't form The dBs until they all moved to NYC. Did you know Stamey toured with Alex Chilton for a year? That must've been that stretch where Alex went to the UK and had the Softboys back him. Also when Richard Lloyd played some live dates with him, and when The dBs backed Kimberly Rew.
Among my pop rarities, I've got both The Sneakers CD (pre-dBs band with Mitch Easter and Chris Stamey) and The Bible of Bop (Kimberly Rew backed by Softboys, dBs and Waves).
