Hec: iffen you don't get a real NYer to grab it for you, I'm going there week after next ...
I haven't heard Toxic, Amazing, OR Red Blooded Woman. I think I'm going to have to (gasp) turn on the radio. Cover me, I'm going in!
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...
'The Message'
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.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

Fred, finally someone else who likes "Red Blooded Woman"! An awful lot of people absolutely loathe it. It's not as good as "Toxic" though, which really is good enough even to convert non-Britney fans. "Amazing" is good too though. It's actually been a very good couple of months for chart singles.
Anyway, I've changed my mind, single of the year so far is Twista's "Slow Jamz", which manages to be both the funniest and the sexiest hip-hop track in a long time.

Now I need a New Yorker to go by Other Music
Don't they do mail order?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The only Brittney song I can think of is the Pepsi commercial.
Wasp Star (Apple Venus Vol. 2). The former is still sinking in, but I am now the property of the latter. SUCH a sucker for Andy's love songs, in their several forms.
I really really REALLY love this CD.

I have no single of the year so far! I feel bereft.

Hmm, I can get behind you on that one, Angus! It's one of the things I've downloaded from iTunes. Um, along with "Toxic". And some Dar and Indigo Girls and Prince! Er.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's not listed on their online catalog. I think perhaps because it is a semi-boot CD-R that they are only selling in-store.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
The first time I heard "Toxic," I thought it was appallingly bad. It sounded like a big mish-mash of crap that wasn't sure what it wanted to be, with all the effects and instrumental breaks.
Now? I love that damn song. I get it now!

Don't you mock me, mister silverclad.
I need to report something shameful.
I am marrying a woman who...well, I'll just let the stories speak for themselves.
Today, at the pizza place where we got a slice she saw me humming along with the song on the radio.
JZ: "What's that song?"
Me: ???????? "You've never heard it before?"
JZ: "No."
Me: "It's...Freebird. I spent pretty much my entire freshman year of college playing air guitar to that song on a lacrosse stick. All of us did. How can you not know Freebird? This is the literary equivalent of saying, 'Did you say Jean Osten?'"
Then - on the very same day! - we watched the new remake of The Italian Job.
JZ: "What's that song?"
Me: ??????????? "You can't tell me you've never heard this song before."
JZ: "Nope."
Me: "'Money'? Pink Floyd? Okay, this is a cover, but still. This song is both ubiquitous and incessant. It's on one of the biggest selling records of all time. They had to invent a new chart for Dark Side of the Moon because it wouldn't go away. That's why they chart catalog sales separately."
JZ: "Never heard it."
On the same day! Even Angus could ID both of those songs and he goes out of his way to avoid the rock and roll.
