I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

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.

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

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
bicyclops - not the only Yes fan, and hardly the most shaming admission (one time and occasionally still ELP fan - cough! ) But Going for the One, which was after Tormato, was actually pretty decent. Then they fused with the Buggles, which was odd.
Still - my prog rock love of all time remains King Crimson. Who are just about the most amazing live band you could ever see anyway, so where's the shame in that? Huh? No shame, I tell you!

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Ooh! I always turn up King Crimson on the radio, I should get some, so when it comes on my iPod I could do the same thing.
And the Shuggie Otis Strawberry Letter 23, I don't think I have ever heard the other one ...
This cheesy cd isn't about embarrassment. I think it's more about how songs that don't care about being cool are so much fun. (Hhmm. Kinda like with people.) Songs that embrace their inner dorkiness.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I liked Yes well enough, but never enough to actually buy any of their albums (although now that I think of it I bought their mid-eighties comeback album). Speaking of prog rock, while on my first ever expedition to Amoeba records today, I picked up two newish CDs by my favorite prog rock band, the Strawbs.
Loved, loved, loved Amoeba.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
Huh, the only Yes song I remember is Owner of a Lonely Heart Of course, there are probably other ones that I know but just don't identify with Yes. However, since I have no music cred to speak of, I can admit to loving that song with impunity. Good video, too. And Best of My Love is a kick-ass tune.
I associate cheesy music much more with 90's boy band/Britney pop (which I love a lot, too) than with disco. Or even music from that awkward transition time between disco and Madonna era 80's pop (Islands in the Stream, Total Eclipse of the Heart). Now that's good cheese.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Somebody actually defended Tormato in the book - and did it well. We've also got a King Crimson record (Lizard, I think). Not afraid of Prog! (Though I think that might be it.)

Oops, forgot to mention. Hayden, I got Jon's mix yesterday. Wheeee!
Now to eat my chicken pot pie. pie pie pie.

Hey Jon, song #10 rolled up and I had to go check the liner notes because I liked it so much.

Very interesting record. Highly free-jazzy, even for such an improvisational band as the Crim.

I am so honored to play music with that guy. And ya know what Pete did today? He called me from Spain during my party to wish me a happy birthday!
Speaking of King Crimson, you could do worse than to listen to the music of Dokaka -- a Japanese guy who does a note-perfect acapella version of 21st Century Schizoid Man. The live version with the extended instrumental break. Really, it must be heard to be believed.
