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 fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

I'm listening to/recording/reading the CDs I just got in the music exchange the other day, and am v. excited to see that not only did someone along the way print out the liner notes, they added their own commentary! Actually, more than one person. Which is fabulously fun. YAY!
Now to get an iPod, so I can have ALL the music at once. ALL OF IT.

iPods rock.
That is all.
No, wait. I've already ripped the bicyclops and Sue CDs, so Joe, as soon as I get to the post office, they are on their way to YOU.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

A guy at my work is looking to sell his, a 40 gig. Interested?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Could I get some recommendations for music for the party taking place at my house on the 26th? About 30 people, all computer geeks, age range mid 20's to mid 50's, mostly western European in origin.
And no, I'm still not sure that I'm attending.

Why does he want to sell it?? That's crazy talk. Unless there's something wrong with it.
But nah, I'm probably gonna go buy one tomorrow. I want it by this coming weekend, when I'll be travelling yet again...
Amy, I have no suggestions, sadly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Half the fun (OK, maybe a third) of buying an expensive Apple product is opening up the box and taking things out. They've raised packaging to an art.

This is absolutely true. I was totally brainwashed in the time it took me to take out the iMac.

Jazz (Miles), or Serge Gainsbourg (Melodie Nelson) or Bjork (Post).

Thank you, Hecubot (making notes). Do you have a moment to jump on AIM?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Hec, just wanted to let you know I picked up a copy of the bubblegum book on my way home today from work. Been leisurely perusing it while I stopped for beers and lunch (mostly in that order) on the way home, and it's enormous fun. Most of the stuff that interests me vis-a-vis bubblegum is on the fringes, but it's always nice to have good reference/opinion works.
I was especially amused by your defining "Walking on Sunshine" as the ultimate non-goth song, but question the premise that goth=anti-bubblegum. But, that's for a more detailed conversation (in the process of catching up again). SO looking forward to the new book. That one is right up my particular musical alley.
Also, at my last stop - Salem Beer Works - I had an outrageous lattice-of-coincidence moment, as familiar strains gave way to... "Little Willy" by The Sweet. Color me oblivous to the obvious double- (ne, single) entendre built into the song until now.
This was followed by Smashmouth's "Walking on the Sun", followed by "(Keep feelin') Fascination" by the Human League. Sadly, the eclectic parade of fun songs was broken by the unsightly invasion of Don Henley. And not even "Dirty Laundry". I suspect they have their music service set to "cognitive dissonance" or something.
