GP's great stuff. Hell, all those albums are. My birth year was a good one for cult musicians and rocker-dudes.
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.

msbelle, you can get your Wicked Merch (including pink popular shirts), here.
Ooh, so did y'all already exchange names and shit? It sounds v. cool. I'm all thinking of things I'd want to put on there.
meara - I will give you to Monday to decide if you want in or not. I am managing the whole list. Basically people just mail to one person, but they mail about 12 CDs throughout the life of the thing.
msbelle, I thought you were sending me something today. Further instructions or my trading partner or whatever. Today's not over, of course, but I'm soon to be offline for the day.
hayden, I just emailed you.
Too bad I don't own any music from 1967. Just kidding.

"For the benefit of Mr. Boucher he wondered, 'Are you experienced'?"
I was actually thinking about using that love song about skin art from The Greatest Album Ever Recorded. Isn't that what you called it? (The album, not the song.)
joe and erinaceous - your emails will be out this weekend. I suck and forgot to bring in CDs.
I think I said it was the greatest Rock album ever recorded, but only since the reissue with extra tracks.
You'll like this, Joe. I made a Frankenmix of just jazz songs. This wont' be my actual mix so I'm not spilling the beans anywhere.
