Yes, I'll be at the F2F, and thanks to, um, "someone" for the CD-R offer. But I've found a source for MP3s of the album. I emailed Rhino Handmade customer service, so if they come up with a copy, I'll be glad to get the legit version. Otherwise I'll be content with the MP3s.

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.

Today I got the new Loretta Lynn - the reviews are not wrong. It is wonderful. Very Loretta - with just a wee bit of Jack White. I've listened to it four times - which is amazing considering that today I also got my hands on an unbelievably good soundboard-quality bootleg of the Pixies show in Eugene, OR on 4/28.
It is freakish how - the same - they sound. *Almost* too much the same. It was like listening to an album kind of. Or at least a perfomance from 15 years ago - I mean - they sound just like they did. If nothing else, they are incredibly well rehearsed. As much as there was a sense that there was some passion lacking in their performance - I wanted to cry at how much I can't wait to be in the audience to see them perform. Check out the set list:
Planet of Sound
Caribou
U-Mass
I Bleed
Is She Wired
Gouge Away
Ed is Dead
River Euphrates
Debaser
Crackity Jones
Hey
Monkey Gone to Heaven
Bone Machine
Levitate Me
Blown Away/Nimrod's Son
Here Comes Your Man
Wave of Mutilation (UK Surf)
Mr. Grieves/Vamos
Where is My Mind
Gigantic
Tame
In Heaven
Wave of Mutilation
And lots of talking in between songs from both Kim Deal and Frank Black - they honestly seemed to be having fun and enjoying each other.
Two other things - I keep reading really good things about the new Cure album coming out at the end of June. I'm still scared (I haven't heard anything worthy of them since Disintegration). But it's still good to hear positive things.
I also heard another DJ'd mash up of Jay-Z's Black album - except this time it was mixed with Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted instead of the Beatles. Interesting. I forget the name of the DJ.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
A quick google of Jay-Z and Pavement, turned up The Slack Album. I'm downloading it right now (I'll let you know later if it's fucking great).

Thanks for the link Jon - I heard it at a friend's house. His FAQ is funny "Q: Aren't Black album mash ups, like, totally February?". Hee.
I can't find a list of what songs he mixed together though for each track - did you see one?

Ah. If I had just kept reading until the second paragraph...
Short attention span, I have.

If you like bootlegs, you've got to try "London Booted." The Outkast/Clash mashup "(Spanish) Bombs Over Baghdad" is pretty much guaranteed a spot in my top 10 for the year.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I don't have any use for Pixies bootlegs or live albums. They sound too much like studio recordings.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
An article on a Russian mp3 site - one gigabyte's worth of music for just $10!
The legality of the site is, ahem, debatable.
