Chaka Power is Go!

Yay for flexibility!

I was already to do the dance of show quotes need not be here with Shawn, but look, it got changed, YAY. I am hrrrmmmmph free.

All my attepmts to burn failed today, but I am bringing in another blank CD tomorrow to try once more.

erinaceous and joe boucher - you will get your final emails tomorrow.

ION - janis ian can have emmy lou's boots, I want her hair.

(Jumping in to discussion from previous thread)

I usually am like - yay money for the band - but a mini-van???

There have been only two songs I've heard used in a commercial that caused me to start screaming "No no no!" at the TV. One is current HP digital camera ad that uses Pictures of You by The Cure; not only should songs by The Cure not be used in commercials, but especially songs that are traditionally Goth "I'm going to sit in my darkened room and mope about the break-up" heartbreak songs. Is that the message HP wants associated with its products? Mopey, heartbroken goths?

The other screaming at the TV instance was when a perfume called Zoa used This Mortal Coil's version of Song to the Siren. There was a huge thread on alt.gothic complaining about it.

I feel so Californian all of a sudden. Congratulations, Gov. Chaka!

I know! It's a SAD SAD song damnit! And to put it over all those pastels and the happy. Grrrr.

And I keep hearing people refer to is at that "Morrissey" song. Also with the grrr-making.

ION - I just bought tickets to see Lucinda Williams. At a bigish smallish venue. I would pay to watch that woman whistle, she is so freaking hot.

Ok, you know how sometimes, the little things in the middle of a stressful day just make you grin from ear to ear?

You guys did that for me today. Thank you.

Uh....I bought The Very Best of Cheryl Crow a couple of weeks ago AIFG!

I was away from the Interbunny for a while -- what was the original title? I gather a Jossverse quote?

Loooooove the Chaka Khan title, though.

Hate my iTunes. I have ver. 1.1, and since I'm running OS 9.1, the current downloadable version of iTunes (4.2) won't run on my system, and I can't find a version earlier than 4.2 but later than 1.1. Bah.

I come back from lunch, and what do I find? A new thread title? Now I must say "harumph!"

But you know, I'll live. Really and truly.

I'm listening to Pulp and it's a good thing. Really and truly. I don't know how I lived for so long without hearing "Common People."

Hate my iTunes. I have ver. 1.1, and since I'm running OS 9.1, the current downloadable version of iTunes (4.2) won't run on my system, and I can't find a version earlier than 4.2 but later than 1.1. Bah.

Right there with ya. I get system 10.03 (X.03?) on Monday and I have to clear 3GBs of music off my machine beforehand to make room for it.

screams in frustration and pain at the mere thought

But I don't use iTunes to burn - I use Toast - so I avoid the 1.1 burning issues there.

Once I get upgraded, though, I will be able to buy from the iTunes store. My poor poor checking account.

Oh - the old title was the "down with the new music, have the albums to prove it" giles quote. I like this one better, too. And we made me Aimee smile. It's all good.

I'm pretty sure "Wrath of Shaka Khan" was an MST3K line. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
