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.

The Pee Wee Fist opened for her once in Ohio. Not crazy about her music, but she was very sweet.

Are there any Bostonian Buffistas who are familiar with a local band called Averi? I saw them open for someone in Portland this weekend, and they played a really tight set.

Great show, Jon. I know a lot of the bands, but not many of the songs.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Took a stack of CDs to the local record shop yesterday (Sonic Boom, for all youse Seattle guys), and while they only took about half of them, I got $50 in store credit. Whoo-hoo!
Here's what I picked up: the new Wilco, the Pixies hits compilation, a 2-disc The Who hits collection and Keane's new one.
I haven't heard any of Keane's tunes, but I've read several good reviews that made me think it would be right up my alley. Plus, the disc was only $6.99.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I've heard a couple of their songs. Best I can describe them is, kind of first cousins to Coldplay, with lyrics whose philosophizing is a little more one-on-one personal.

I forgot to second Angus's upthread recommendation of Lee Caulfield's mp3 blog. Lee's a fantastic guy, and his blog has nothing but excellent music.

Wow, Jon. That website really is fancy-pants. I picked up the cd, though, and it's decent. I've been on a strange opening band kick of late.

I've had pretty great luck with opening bands. When I went to see Our Lady Peace, I discovered Ash, and when I went to see Tegan and Sara, I discovered Jets Overhead.
