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.

Eh... They lost me on the front page "with the record industry clearly hurting..."
The RIAA is constantly using misleading stats to "prove" that sales are down when in fact they are as strong as ever.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Thank you soooo much P-C. Jon would thank you too, and buy you a drink if you were here, or he were here, or whatever.

I took this as them taking a beating not only in reduced sales (which I think are over-exaggerated) but also in quality and in reputation. The documentary itself examines it from all sides--artists, executives, music journalists, radio programming people, etc. I like the show (I think PBS is playing it again, but you can get it streaming on the web as well). It's definitely worth a watch (if only to see the interviews with David Crosby and how he said Britney Spears is as deep at a birdbath).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Good puzzle, Joe. Especially liked the Minear clue.

Hey Steph, do you have any interest in African music? I can put together a comp for you if you want. (It might take me a week or two, as I'm currently backlogged on burning a bunch of CDs, including the Buffista mixes I still need to send to Jon... but it can be done!)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Bwah ha ha! I'm going mad with my recent Glam rock acquisitions.
I think I need to make meara a special mix because "Butch Things" is one of the best newly discovered songs. There's also "Getting a Drag" which is indeed about wearing drag.
I might have to break it out into separate mixes for Glam Rock, Glitter Pop, Art Glam and maybe a Neo Glam section. Or possibly by subject since there are easily enough glam songs with outer space themes to justify an entire mix of Glam In Space. It's giddy making.
