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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
It's a big word for "misheard lyric," right? Of which "'scuse me while I kiss this guy" is the most famous?
Right! It came from an old folk song where the lyric goes something like "They have killed Lord So-and-so/ and laid him on the Green" which got misheard as "They have killed Lord So-and-so/ and Lady Mondegreen"
Totally different than filk.(My definition of filk is a bit different than the Buffista definition, but I won't go in to that here)

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
The term comes from the mishearing "Lady Mondegreen" for "laid him on the green."

How was Calexico, Jon?
I've got two of their discs, both of which I love, and I noticed they seem to get to town semi-regularly.
Heh. Thinking back, I may have heard them for the first time on your show.

See them. At your earliest convenience. I've seen them many times -- they never disappoint and are often transcendent.

I second that recommendation. Calexico never fails to be fascinating.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I know EFO! I used to work for a small music management company that handled their merch.

Rock! I'm glad they're at least somewhat known. Now I just have to make fans out of you.
