We've also got a King Crimson record (Lizard, I think).
Very interesting record. Highly free-jazzy, even for such an improvisational band as the Crim.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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.

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

But Going for the One, which was after Tormato, was actually pretty decent.
Acutally Going for the One was '77, Tormato '78. Going for the One is one of my favorites.
Somebody actually defended Tormato in the book - and did it well.
I've never actually heard all of Tormato - what I did hear was pretty bad. I'll be interested to read the defense.

Was it Relayer then? The one without Wakeman after Topographic Oceans (and I REALLY had to try hard not to type that is Torpographic despite my love for the damn thing)?
Another pretty "meh" record, from what I remember. I could go put it on, but then again...

Yeah, Relayer ('74) is the one with Patrick Moraz instead of Wakeman.

Dokaka does an acapella version of Fracture too. IJS.
Holy crap! That's...well...INSANE among other things. Fripp would love it, I think. Just, WOW!
How was the party, Jon? Sorry I had to bail, but I am not in great shape this weekend - also totally blew off (the completely voluntary but I really should have gone in) work.
eta Lark's Tongues, Kid Charlamegne and Green Earrings? Holy crap! This guy is a madman.

Happy belated birthdays Jon and bicylops.
My new Buffista Frankenmixes came in extra super handy yesterday as I had to drive to and from Omaha in the same day with nothing but the stereo in the car to keep me company.

No worries, Ken. The party was great. Much food eaten and alcohol consumed. Tons of people showed up, although none were Buffistas (there were a few last minutes cancellations). I was in host-mode all night which meant I barely got to talk to anyone for more than a few minutes at a time.
t edit thanks tina!

Glad to hear it went well.
It would have made it a bit odd to be one of the few (or only) "scary internet people". But I would have liked to meet the music folks too. I recognized a few names on the evite lists.
Hopefully if victor and Thessaly host the Angel finale as they thought they would, I'll finally get to meet a bunch of the local Buffistas.
