Cute piece. Though it does worry me that a music editor has never heard of Marconi.
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'm sure Craig knows but was being flippant. He also asks "what is the mamba?" and then answers his own question.
Sumi - I just linked to the Punk Rock Orchestra piece over in Natter. (Sorry, beyond my abilities to link to that post.) Anyway, I had never heard of Unlit, but I liked what I heard.
I loved the operatic version of "California uber alles" and the orchestral version of "Lust for Life".
I'm sorry, Punk Rock Orchestra? I mean, I went to the website, and, OK, but are there samples?
An orchestral version of "Lust for Life"? I am So There.
It'd be hard to top the KISS Symphony.
Apparently many of the participating musicians are using this as volunteer hours to work off parking tickets and others just really love the opportunity to play music that they loved as kids but were forbidden to play or sing.
Looks like $15, and that's for the whole evening's worth of bands (though the rest are unfamiliar to me, except for -- egad -- REO Speedwagon).
Heh. Maybe we can drop in for Jamie and head out for dinner?
