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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Just back from Amoeba. Traded in $88 worth of CDs (all burned on the iMac before I threw 'em back) and picked up the first season of Homicide on DVD, Fontella Bass's comeback album from '72 (it's pretty great and was just released on CD), a funk compilation from the cut out bin (I already have several but only had "Let It Whip" on 45) and finally a record that I feel slightly cheesy for owning. So I might be able to extract a guilty pleasure off that.

Okay, feeling really dumb now. :-)
Does it help that one of my songs is "It's Hard to Be Happy (When You're Not Using the Metric System)"? I constantly think that an hour should be 100 minutes.

There was a metric clock...
Teppy's going to like my mix. It's a harder rocking mix than I would've expected, but this happens when you start throwing in roadtrip songs. I've been pretty successful having most songs satisfying more than one category at a time. So many unrequited songs with "blue" in the title. But I don't feel like that really counts for anything unless each song satisfied both its own category and the one that follows it. That would be cool.

msbelle, I'm making up for my cheating by having "Pink" in the song title and the artist title on my colour song. Am I forgiven?
(No, the artist isn't Pink.)
But I don't feel like that counts unless I could link each song segue by having each song satisfy both its own category and the one that follows it.
I'm a bit obsessed with satisfying multiple categories, but I don't think I could go that far! I do have three songs in a row without a word in their titles, though.

I think Teppy's going to like my mix, too. I hope.
And y'all should be glad that my co-worker sent me the best of Gordon Lightfoot AFTER I was already done with my mix.
::humming::Sundown, you better take care, if I find you've been creeping 'round my back stair ...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm burning my mix right now! AIFG!
I used a lot of shorter songs so I got all 24 slots in with room to spare. For the Stump David or Jon category, I figured stumping myself would be no fun. To stump Jon, however, I felt obliged to stick to his realm of expertise so I put on an indiepop song.
My mix fairly reflects my interests and tastes. It's got the rocking and the grooving and the goofy and the heartfelt.

I'm much easier to stump than most people imagine.

Woo, I thought I finished my mix this afternoon, but on re-listen, some things needed to be shuffled and some songs pulled.
The end result is 25 songs (I stuck an extra indiepop stumper on the end for closure) clocking in at 78:48.
Funny that Joe & David were talking upthread about The Greatest Album Ever Released, because I ended up delving into it, too, although not the skin art song. Also, parental Buffistas, at least one song on my mix is R-rated (and possibly 1-2 others), but I hope you'll find it funny enough to make up for the dirty words and adult situations. Also, I'm absolutely shocked at how well a couple of transitions worked, despite all evidence that they shouldn't have.
