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.

t drive-by as I forgot my cell phone at work last night and am just stopping in to get it and checking the music thread

Just wondering what everyone's top 25 album releases of 2003 are. I am mentally working on my list everynight at work.

Here is my top 10 of 2003 list post, from the old thread:

Surprisingly, I still agree with it.

Tina, I do believe I may have a couple on that list in common, for sure one of them.

ok, everyone should have an addres of who to send things to.

For the name category, the list has grown - those of you who got the first emails, you may add the following names to your posibilities:

erin
joe
rebecca
shana
anne

If anyone has any question, feel free to email me.

Now I need to get started working on my own mix.

Angus, I am shaking my finger at you - cheating should not be encouraged.

Mix report: Test mix 2 rejected, listening to test mix 3 RIGHT NOW! (AIFG!)

I had originally gone with the 1st "cover you thought wasn't" that had occurred to me, Nilsson's "Without You". But that sucked the energy right out of the middle of the mix.

The original artist made the first recording of my new choice, but that version was not released until after this cover version. Is that legit?

Since I was re-doing the mix, I changed songs for local artist, and “doesn’t fit category”. On both, used same artist, different song. These changes pushed the total over 80 min, but I shorted the gap between songs from the Nero default of 2 seconds to about a half second, and the mix now clocks in at 79:54.

Still not real happy with the 1st 3 songs.

This is fun! I have a few songs left to download from CD, a few to search out on iTunes, and a few where I'm torn between one song or another.

Does anyone know a good source of where to find out what songs were released the year one was born?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Damn. This is harder than I thought - I'm @ 79 minutes, and I only have 18 tracks. I might have to leave it there, because the mixes that I have seem to work really really well.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Moonlit, you might also want to look at Brenda Lee. She had a couple of US #1s that year ("I'm Sorry" & "I Want to Be Wanted.")

DX, I said it before and I'll say it again -- Johnny Ray, "Cry." Possibly the first rock&roll slow-dance record.
