But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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.

Sweet! As you know, David Fricke and I are as close as two guys who stood next to each other at a Knife in the Water show can be.

Feel free to tell her she's on my Buffista mix if you think it will help...

David, I just emailed you. Hayden, I just enlisted Eliot to try to get Jonathan's help. No promises but a decent chance. I told him to mention that we're both in it & to remind him (JL) about the profile you did in the High Hat. Did Jonathan say anything to you? He liked it but was horrified at the pic you used.

Joe, please emphasize to him that I had clipped a very nice picture of him from the Motherless Brooklyn era, but our art director went with the other picture for reasons unknown. Please also emphasize that we don't pay our art director anything (which makes me second-guessing him a bit uncomfortable) and that I didn't see the picture until we went live. If it helps, I'm more than willing to apologize to him myself, but was a bit worried that he might mistake me for a stalker at that point.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I put a line break in with those semicolonsemicolon posts because they were making the page too wide.

Sorry; it looked fine on my screen, but I have a 20" monitor. Thanks for the edit, because I get annoyed when a post makes my screen go all wide, and I'd hate to be the type of person who annoys me.

Isn't that why you have a therapist's bill?

Hayden, your best route to Jonathan is Eliot. I think he shares the Melville love (that didn't sound right...) so you three could bond over that. Give me a little warning next time you're coming to NY & I'll try to convince Eliot to come up & we can all get together. His mother lives here, I live here, Jonathan lives here, his wife's best friend lives around the corner from my girlfriend -- it's not a tough sell. Did I tell you I got the xword software? Dying to try it out <hint hint>

And back to music... Just listened to "Un Poco Loco". Bud Powell & Max Roach were fuckin' monsters! Max still is, actually. Delightful stuff.

Which album? Teppy, take notes.

No need to apologize, Teppy. We stompies are like house elves when it comes to board cleanliness. Fixing posts makes us feel useful.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And that's why he has a lot of therapists' bills.
