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.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

Revolver is my favorite Beatles album, partly because it's got "And Your Bird Can Sing," which is just such a great song.

And I do really like Pulp, so I'll check out The Killers. Thanks!

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I wouldn't feel guilty about love of any Beatles album

Guilt is probably the wrong word. Magical Mystery Tour is what my mom fed my brother and I when we were kids to get us to like The Beatles. As much as I love other albums now that I'm converted, the child in me will always cling to it.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Huh. I just found out that some of us are apparently quashing Sean and Connie's ability to talk about the music they love on this board.

I'm getting to a point where all I'm feeling about this place is negative. It's time to take time off.

'd I miss something?

And you can't take time off just when I've returned, H.

Incidentally (and waaay off topic, but inspired by your tagline) Based on reading it, wanting to understand the web of references, and noticing that it's out of copyright, I was thinking about starting an Ulysses wiki, to annotate the book (factually, not like "this is Joyce using metaphor) communally. Interested?

That's an open question, BTW.

Huh? Never noticed much negativity here. Lots of "I love such and such" followed by either "Me, too!" or "Never heard of it."

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Also wondering what'd I miss.

Revolver is the bestest album and "Tomorrow Never Knows" is the bestest song. I have spoken.

This is not what you're talking about, Jim, but it's pretty cool: a hypertext Skeleton Key to Ulysses. Your idea's cool, too. Sean and Connie's music, OTOH, is not cool and I don't want to discuss it... I'm kidding!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

::makes note to buy Revolver if I don't already have it::

Edit: OK, I looked it up and have determined that I do not, nor have I ever, owned Revolver. This will shortly be rectified.

You may now all go about your business.

Revolver is the bestest album and "Tomorrow Never Knows" is the bestest song.

Are you familiar with Tell Me Why: A Beatles Commentary by Tim Riley? He goes through their whole discography chronologically, album by album with non-album singles interpolated where necessary. I give it a thumbs up, although I thought I'd like it more. Anyway, he analyzes the music and the lyrics, how they go together, individual instrumental parts, production and context (Beatles as well as cultural.) He loves Revolver, especially "Tomorrow Never Knows" and spends quite a bit of time on them. Check it out. (Borrow it if you can.)
