'The Message'


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.

Mel C (formerly Sporty Spice) also released a techno-y dance track called "I Turn to You," which I simply love. There's a particular remix that's my favorite version, but I can never remember what it's called.

Her "Northern Star" album is a nice slice of pop, by the way. Recommended if you like that sort of thing, but probably not for full price. Used CDs are our friends.

Up with the sun

There was no way I was willing to pay $50+ to go sit through a bunch of bands I either don't know or don't really care about, outside in the blazing sun, and THEN see the Cure.

Heh. My follow-up was going to be what you thought about the other bands, and you answered it without me asking.

The show starts at 5 here, so I'm figuring it should be cooling down by the time they play. But yeah, the tix were overpriced. I decided to go because we've never seen them, they don't tour very often, and I'd like to see them before they break up for good, again. Plus, P.'s friend we stayed with in Eugene last month is a MASSIVE Cure fan, and the b-sides collection seeped into my pores while we were there.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The Cure just played a festival in Paris where one of the other bands was Placebo. Why oh why couldn't *that* festival have been the one touring the States?

I haven't heard any Placebo beyond "Pure Morning," but I've been told they kick ass.

"Plasticine" (off of their latest CD, Sleeping with Ghosts) is in my personal top 10 greatest songs of all time.

I get insanely fan-girly about Placebo. They write great songs, they sound like the lovechild of Bowie and The Smiths, and the lead vocalist is a very very pretty boy in eyeliner.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

Who was it wanted to know about The Killers? I have heard two songs and they're both keepers: Jenny and Indie Rock and Roll.

My favorite part of "Indie Rock and Roll" is when the guy sings "She plays the drums/I'm on tambourine" and then there's a completely cheesy & ostentatious tambourine wiggle. Cracks me up every time.

And I love "Of Montreal" because 1) really cool name, how many bands are prepositional phrases? and 2)Disconnect the Dots is a very cool song.

I am with Lyra on the Beatles. Nice, I can see the genius, I don't turn it off but I never reach for it. Someone once said to me that the Beatles are Love and the Rolling Stones are Sex, and I have to say I agree. I reach for "Sticky Fingers" fairly often.

I went to google the Kylie/Fischerspooner thing (before I saw that it was on a buffistamix that might someday come my way) and I don't know what this means but it looks really, really funny: "Kylie Minogue sous la lame de Fischerspooner"

The Kylie/Fischerspooner mix was also on Angus' World Without Shrimp mix.

Can anyone help me with the iTunes store? I already *have* iTunes on my computer, now I want to open an account at the store and buy music (and possibly win a 20gig iPod). All the links on the Apple site make it seem like they want me to download iTunes again. Is this right?

If you have iTunes already, there's a store link in the left-hand menu.

You cannot access the iTunes store outside of the iTunes app.
