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've never heard Franz Ferdinand - but I remember them being mentioned upthread somewhere. t /not much help
BUT. I was just reading Pitchfork and feel the need to report on the Pixies just announced fall dates. sumi? get those tickets quick (you're near chicago right?)
9/4 - Bend OR
9/6 - Seattle WA (Bumbershoot)
9/18 - Austin TX (ACL fest)
10/14 - Atlanta GA
11/11 - Minneapolis MN
11/13 - Chicago IL (Aragorn Ballroom - which as I remember, is mid-sized and v.good acoustics)

That's all so far.
Finally, a friend told me last night that Jeff Tweedy just put himself in rehab for painkiller addiction BUT that they are still supposed to go ahead with their tour. I'm supposed to see him in 11 days. I'm not so sure that's such a great idea. As much as I'm excited to see him, I would really rather he get better. Hmm. Poor guy.
Poor Jeff. What was he originally taking the painkillers for?

Migraines. Have you seen the YHF making of movie? He pukes in one scene (sober) and says he throws up almost every day from migraines and has since he was little.
I know. I'm really sad for him.
Oh, I'd forgotten about his migraines. That sucks.
I am Trying to Beak Your Heart is a great documentary.

I just rented the DVD - and if you haven't - you should. The deleted scenes and extras is like having a whole sep. movie. Especially the uncut solo performance of Jeff's.
Ooh, ooh, Pixies at Bumbershoot. Ooh.
Ooh, Ooh! Matthew Sweet. I have much love for "Girlfriend" and "100% Fun." Such great albums, both.

Really rather like. Quite a lot.
