Listening to a country mix from Mr. Boucher. It is awesome.
I was compelled to post that there is something near perfect about "He Stopped Loving Her Today", "Jolene", and "Mama's Hungry Eyes".

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.

"Jolene"
After I saw the White Stripes cover this song on Conan O'Brian, I downloaded every version that I could find. A surprisingly good version is done by Reba McIntire (sp?).
LJ - Getting Jon's mix in the mail today is on my to-do list. Sorry for the delay.

I couldn't agree more.

Yep. I think I put "No Time To Cry" on that mix & I'd put that in the same category. Heartwrenching, but at the same time they make you glad to be alive because they're so damn good. "He Stopped Loving Her Today" even gets away with a spoken section!
I put the Sue & bicyclops mixes (plus a disc with tagged mp3s of the ones I've received so far) in the mail last night so you should get it today or tomorrow.
Sonny Rollins' "G Man" popped up on my player yesterday has inspired me to do an uptempo jazz mix. Of course, I'm pretty lazy, so it may not get done for a while, but if I have it ready to go by the time I send the next Frankenmixes I'll send it, too.

The beauty of random play: something from Bach's "Well-Tempered Clavier" followed by Mojo Nixon's "Gin Guzzlin' Frenzy". "Bombay, Tanqueray, Gordon's Old, generic, even bathtub gin made by Eric." From the sublime to the ridiculous, and guess which made me happier!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"Jolene" is gorgeous, of course, but my favorite Dolly song from that era is "Bargain Store" - which also has an English folk melody out of the Appalachians.
