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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hayden, I think maybe you got it.

Heather, that would be a hot property if you had Jerry Lee Lewis, backed by Steve Cropper and Scotty Moore, with Sam Phillips recording.

I wonder who is in charge of acquistions at the rock and roll hall of fame.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I don't think SM is playing on the recording whatever it is. I think he's just the engineer.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I have neglected to mention that two weeks ago, JZ and I were in the Berkeley Amoeba and she came running up to me all excited because she found the second Lothars CD used.

I pointed out to her that if we bought it directly from Jon he would derive some economic benefit, but buying it used gained him nothing. She was unpersuaded and felt that the Lothar CD had personally found its way into her hands.

Reader, we bought that CD.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Better it find its way into loving hands than it sit there lonely amongst the anonymous multitudes of amoebadom.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Tonight G and I are going to see Great Big Sea at the 930 club. Of course, this means we'll be more zombie-ish than usual at work tomorrow, but hey! It's Great Big Sea!

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

Hec! Incoming, I gots some stuff for you.

Also, Salon.com today has some links to a couple good free downloads.

Hey, Jon, have you left yet?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I'm taking the ensuing silence as a "yes." To that end, I'm going to try to meet Jon tonight for some beer & music. AND I'm going to try to catch the SXSW showing of Jandek on Corwood.

I woke this morning to this report on NPR.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

I hate Real Audio. What's the gist of the story, Hayden? Real guy or someone's schtick? Speaking of Irwin Chusid, my friend George just got back from Europe where he was touring w/ the Chusid-organized Raymond Scott Orchestrette.

Real guy, real strange. I like him, but he's definitely an acquired taste.
