Buffistas

Dawn: I feel safe with you. Spike: Take that back!

'First Date'

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.

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

I can't get behind the genre-celebrates-itself hate as some of my favorite artists (Chuck Berry, Lou Reed, Public Enemy) wrote some of their best songs ("Roll Over Beethoven", "School Day", "Rock and Roll", "Bring the Noise", "Rebel without a Pause") about their music. Not to go all Goldwater, but... self-reflexiveness in the service of killer tunes is no vice!

Got bicyclops' & Sue's mixes this weekend. Haven't really listened to them, but ripped 'em & will pass them along to msbelle in the next couple days. Fun liner notes. And bicyclops' packaging: OMG! You've seen the cover [insert link I can no longer find here], but he also put album covers on the inside & used fun graphics on the back. So ambitious that I need a nap just thinking about it. msbelle, I will also send you a disc with tagged mp3s so that if you or someone else want them you can have them w/o going to the trouble of cursing Music Match, your computer & the heavens for hours at a stretch. (Btw, I think I ripped them as mp3 pro files at the highest setting I have -- higher quality in a smaller file. I think they're supposed to work with any mp3 player, but if they don't... sorry about that.)

Ann, that's a ferret.

I save my hate for the sub-category of "it sucks to be a musician (or celebrity)." I mean, come on, you chose this life! Save your whining for in private!

Oddly, except for Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark." Largely because it was the right song at the right moment. With a killer tune.

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

Now getting slagged at AMG: Courtney Love's latest.

Gee, it kind of looks like maybe Kurt did ghost write most of Live Through This.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Now playing: Hec-u-mix, which is great fun.

Does Knut ever post around here these days? I know he's large with the Sarah Harmer love, and she has a new album coming out tomorrow. She also has a little acoustic set on CBC Radio3. (Warning: that link is to an all-Flash interface that is death to dial-ups, and generally kind of annoying.)

It's been a while. I think he's been real busy with his Dogtown Review.

I would have been really angry at you for suggesting this ten years ago, and would have given you a full dose of 15-year-old grrrrl feminism.

But now? Especially if you listen to In Utero and then Live Through This and note the common lyrical obsessions?

Um, yeah. I wish it wasn't the case, because I still love what Courtney seemed to represent a decade ago, but yeah.
