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."
Reminds me of Polly Styrene (of X-Ray Spex). Best punk name evah!
Better than Ari Upp?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Better than Ari Upp?
That's a good one too. But Polly's still my fave.

Punishingly Intricate

Polly Styrene is the singer to whom I am compared most often (at least by English men of a certain age).
I was going to say I don't have a cool punk name but I do--Lisafer.
I generally use it for work not for rock (along with my co-workers Beelzebuck and Damndy). Except my friend has wanted me to start a death metal side project called Lisafer and the Lords of Lisa.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Holy crap. I just discovered that Michael Andrews (who did the music for Donnie Darko, Freaks and Geeks, and Wonderfalls ), is Elgin Park. "Solace in a Loose Groove" was on one of my CD Baby mixes. Wow. This is so weird.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
SA is so. damn. COOL! She's interning in Chicago right now, as many of you know, and tonight she went to see Melissa Ferrick at a Borders for a signing and some performance. I lamented that SA got to see Melissa Ferrick, b/c I couldn't go to the Cincinnati show.
SA just called me FROM THE EVENT, so I could hear one song!!! She rules. (SA, that is, though Melissa Ferrick does, too, but SA rules So. Much. More!)

Go SA with your big coolness.
My joy is also big. I found an online purveyor of CD-Rs of very rare and expensive crime jazz LPs which have never officially made it to CD. I'm listening to Bob Mersey's superswank and cool 50s jazz library music right now, aifg. The titles alone are swoonworthy: "Fat Boy," "Jazz Dramatique," "Flutesville," "Beatnik" and "Forever Frantic."
However, I also bought two volumes which were not CD-Rs but I think MP3? Is that right? He was able to compress 8 albums onto each of these volumes. So, how how do I convert those MP3 tracks into something I listen to on any stereo? Also, how much fidelity do I lose going from MP3 to a (I guess) .wav file (or whatever I need to change to). I'm on an iMac if that helps.

The magic that is iTunes should make this pretty simple if they are mp3s. Copy the MP3s from the CDs into your iTunes library. Once you have the playlists you want, just burn them using iTunes onto CDs.

No converting needed (to .wav or AIFF or anything) because iTunes will make them stereo-friendly just using the mp3s.
Also, I totally cried when I listened to the harmony cathedral mix. So sweet.

I forgot to mention that I am taking an impromptu road trip to see Spoon tomorrow. My first time seeing them and it's only $7! Of course the gas will cost me $60 - but hey - road trip and great band.

Thanks! Magic of iTunes indeed. I just opened them from the Hard drive icon, and they unfolded into iTunes. Woo hoo! I just got sixteen albums for about $24. Not only are these unavailable on CD, they're extremely rare and expensive LPs ($25 to $60 a piece).

Awwww, I love to make my friends weep.
