No kidding?! How did I not know that? (Re: Rushdie/U2)
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.
Well, I did know about that. I jsut didn't know it was based on his touring with the band.
I'm still peeved that only the Brits got the song at the end of All That You Can't Leave Behind.
And while I'm in peeved mode: Hey! U2 camp! Let's get a freakin' official word on the new CD! Some rumors say May. Some say March. Some say not until fall, and then still others say not until next year!
Unacceptable! Want CD now! Now! NOW!
And now I have run out of exclamation points.
I am just going to re-rip my CDs as MP3s.
An excellent idea. However, I am obsessive about quality, so I plan to rip the songs for my comp as uncompressed .wav files.

I haven't heard it before either, and I remember reading an interview with Rushdie when the book was published. Which isn't to say it isn't true...
Salman didn't go on the whole tour with them, he just dropped in unexpectedly from time to time and got to hang out with them.
He showed up on stage during one of the Zooropa London concerts -- Bono as MacPhisto placed one of his mid-concert phone calls to him, and he popped on stage.
Bill Flanagan, however, did get to spend the entire tour with the band, and wrote a huge book called U2 at the End of the World. It's a must read for any big U2 fan, and is often hi-larious.

Replace .wav with AIFF and Jon is me - at least we are quality-obssessed procrastinators.
Also - listeners to of Jon's 2003 mix - I just listened to my first full-length Chris Brokaw album, Red Cities. Very good. Despite the total lack of lyrics and obviously then, vocals - which is my favorite part of his song on the mix. It was a surprise for me - I didn't have liner notes so I just kept waiting to hear his voice. But like I said, good nonetheless.
Yeah I just don't know enough about what I am doing right now to probably do this the best quality way.

No one will be able to tell the difference - the only reason I go the longer and more complicated route is because I can and it makes my little OCD-rattled brain feel better.
