I haven't received a round-robin CD in 6 weeks. What's up with that?
Zoe: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. Wash: Yeah, we should start dealing in those black-market beagles.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The linked page has some clips. And if that isn't enough to get you to look, David, there's this quote from Van Morrison: "Me and Richard Manuel were thinking of making an album of Ray Charles songs." And out of the 15 gigs worth of songs on my player what popped up while I was reading the page? Yep, "Whispering Pines," the title track and one of the most haunted vocals from poor, fucked up Mr. Manuel, who killed himself just months after the live recording was made. RIP, sir, I hope you found some peace. Levon Helm: "Richard was always our lead singer - and I always felt real confident with Richard in The Band. I knew that nobody had a better singer than what we had."
"Whispering Pines" is prominently featured on my In the Pines tape. His vocal on "It Makes No Difference" might be his best though. Pure heartbreak. His voice has got woodgrain in it. Did you ever Levon's This Wheel's On Fire, Joe? It's a great read, though moreso for the wild rockabilly days than insights into The Band. But he talks a lot about picking up Manuel in the Hawks. He wasn't much of a piano player compared to the guys who had preceded him (legendary roadhouse boogie woogie players), but he could sing like Ray Charles and that was in damn short supply.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Actually, it's been a while since I got these ones, too . . . . But they'll go out Friday. Really.

Yeah, who's bogarting the Buffista mixes?

I swear, I sent the ones msbelle had sent me (um, the last ones I got from her were in February) several weeks ago to Anne, so it ain't me...

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
It's not me either...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Um, guys, Angus hasn't gotten any of them.

I just got four from Hayden, so I'll be sending those on by Saturday. They include meara and Kate's.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Dr. Tepper & I saw them open for Linda Thompson last year (pre-emptive correction: "You mean they opened for Rhett Miller.")
Yes. And Rhett opened for Linda. Which, I swear to God, I have actually said in conversation -- "I saw him open for Linda Thompson at Housing Works" -- when telling the story of the show.
I may have also added you saying "I can die happy now" when Linda and Teddy did "Wall of Death," but I think that was a fair extrapolation from your expression.

Not much help for me, seeing as how those are the ones I gave to him.
