Buffistas

Excuse me? Who gave you permission to exist?

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 was compelled to post that there is something near perfect about "He Stopped Loving Her Today", "Jolene", and "Mama's Hungry Eyes".

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Btw, Hayden, Jon Langford just asked for a copy of the book for a possible blurb.

Which means he will be reading you and Misha on The Mekons.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I* want a copy of the book for a possible blurb, dammit! Though the best I could get for you would probably be Blender editor Rob Tannenbaum, and the blurb would likely be "Ow! Stop hitting me with the book, Misha!"

I'm not at all surprised that a Great Pop Things co-author would read this book; there are other people I wrote about who I'm much more squirrelly about "oh my God what would they THINK!?!"

Also, George Pelecanos, whose latest book is aces.
