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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I like No Other, but it shore nuff is a weird album. It sounds like a mountain of cocaine to me.
My favorite Gene albums are White Light (which is his Pink Moon) and his first album with Doug Dillard, Through the Morning, Through the Night. The first half of Roadmaster is brilliant, too. I'd never recommend Echoes over any of that stuff.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just got back from "Viva Las Vegas," the rockabilly weekend in LV. So much fun. Best things were the reuniting of "Go Cat Go" with a new lead singer, the 21-year-old Eddie Glendening. Blew the room away. I also heard an east LA group "Los Rhythm Rockets" who were high-energy, very tight with a kicking horn section and a fun mix of Mexican/Rock/Western//Big Band influences. I have always liked rockabilly but am not part of the scene in any way and only own a smattering of CDs, but I will say that it is IMPOSSIBLE not to have a great time at a Rockabilly show!

Robin, do you want I should send you some Big Sandy and the Fly-Rite Trio?

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

Right on! I love the image of Rockabilly!Scrappy. My friend Betty usually goes to the Vegas rockabilly show (she's hot for rockabilly boys, like Allyson is). I personally own vast yonks of rockabilly, though mostly the original stuff. It's all about Johnny Burnette and the Rock and Roll Trio. Though you've got to give it up for guys like Groovey Joe Poovey and Warren Smith and Charlie Feathers and Wanda Jackson. (Nick Tosches famously described Wanda Jackson as "So hot she could fry an egg on her mons.")

I don't want nobody to give me no quote. Open up the search engine, and I'll get it myself. Hunhh! Gud God, y'all!
Just kidding. Don't know if this is the one you're thinking of tommyrot:
We lost out on "Sex Machine" and now it's the number one dance song in the world. Because they thought the title "Sex" went some other place. But it wasn't about that. A fella and a girl were sittin' down in a club, and everybody was dancing, and the cat said, "Get on up! I feel like being a sex machine!"
It said, "The way I like it is the way it is. I got mine and don't worry about his." What is better than that? You cain't beat that. That record is so clean. They were worried about the title. Everytime I see the words "sex machine," it reminds me of a cash register opening up. That song opened up more cash registers than most songs I know.
