These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

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.

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

Which I can't listen to due to server overloading. Pout...

Up with the sun
You will have Jon's mix soon and I'll send you a super special mix for the job hunting as well.
Thanks, tina. I think I'll be okay ... the job sucked for me, anyhow.
And I love the Replacements.

Soundtrack fans, WFMU is playing Ennio Morricone's "1970" soundtrack. Don't know how long it is, but they're only a few minutes in (full playlist.) I tuned in because I love the previous song, "Avec le Temps" by Abbey Lincoln. The deejay was in my brain: "Whatever my other thoughts about Pat Metheny are, all is forgiven for his work on this song and album (A Turtle's Dream)." Exactly.

Quote of the day, stolen from a music list I'm on:
Quote from Patrick Berkery, drummer for The Bigger Lovers, after leaving Bernie's men's room:
"G.G. Allen wouldn't take a shit in there."

Hee. I just saw Chaka Khan perform on Ellen. Makes the thread title all the more amusing. Apparently she has a new line of chocolates called "Chakalates."

Pat also did an album of noise-skronk after encouragement from Thurston Moore, and a bunch of Ornette. He's worked with Terry Riley too, so he's not your average fusion jazz noodler by any means.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Anyone else have commens on the new Bad Plus? I'm enjoying it. They cover "Velouria" and "Iron Man" (!)

Song X? I have it. It has its moments, but it's never really grabbed me. Haven't listened to it that much, though. Metheny's no Kenny G; he's a serious player. And I have no problem with mellow stuff. His duet album with Charlie Haden, Beyond the Missouri Sky, couldn't be any mellower, but I enjoy it, especially "Spiritual," written by Charlie's son Josh. That said, Metheny, like George Benson & Wes Montgomery before him, made a bunch of very successful records by catering, if not to the mainstream exactly, to the same audience as Kenny G & Grover Washington, Jr, the "Light jazz" format. <shudder> Again, that's not the same as mellow jazz, or jazz with strings, or even light jazz without the quotation marks. And I'm glad he's making a nice living with it, but he's one of those guys that makes you sad that he mails it in so often. Who cares if KG mails it in because what difference would it make? But Metheny really has it, even if it's easy to forget, and then you hear something like A Turtle's Dream (he's fabulous on "Throw It Away"), and it's like... man, why's he spend his time on that other crap?

True enough, but Pat gets my respect for going back and doing projects like Song X after he'd made his name futzing about with dreary fusion.
