Also, Hec, you know that the Decemberists are at the Great American Music Hall next Saturday (2/28)?
I did not! I may be all night finishing the book on that date, however.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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!
But it's a leap year! It's like the end of Daylight Savings but you get a whole extra day!

I know but...book not done. Must be done by end of month. I don't know, I expect we can turn it in on Monday, March 1st rather than on a Sunday.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Wait, Kid Congo Powers was in the Gun Club AND The Bad Seeds?
Isn't that Psychotic Goth Blues overkill? To bad Tom Waits (or PJ Harvey) never tapped him - he'd have a trifecta there.
Also, hippo birdies to bicyclops (and Giles - sheesh, Jon B shares a rarified b-day).

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Happy belated Jon B and bicyclops!
Now, I know we've covered the "no such thing as a song you're embarrassed to like" thing before, but I'm working on a mix of cheesy-but-you-love-'em songs, and I'm finding that it's mostly disco. Do you think that's just my cultural remove from disco, or something inherent to the musical style?
I think that what is happening is that 'cheesy' is turning into 'without self-consciousness or irony' for the purposes of this mix.
Some songs that I think will make it: Sundown (yes, I'm obsessed with this song now), Best of My Love, Strawberry Letter, Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody (Louis Prima, but only because I don't have the DLR version, which I wish I did), and Sweetness (yes, Yes).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Nothing cheesy about Strawberry Letter 23. Are you doing the Brothers Johnson hit version, or the original by Shuggie Otis?

Sweetness (yes, Yes)
Does admitting that you like Yes still delete all cred? I liked Yes in my teens, but gave up on them at the time of Tormato (yuck), and I hadn't listened to them in 25 years. The Rhino re-issue campaign got me curious, and it turns out, I still like some of their stuff - and I'm almost not embarrassed to admit it.
And thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Relevant Music Question:
Did we ever figure out who let the dogs out?

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