Cheese Patrol is a special holiday event that goes on for... 12 hours? 24? All weekend? I forget. My point is that they have A LOT of time to fill and so they play loose with the definition of "cheese".
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

Blur crushes Pulp like a teeeeny tiny little champagne grape.
You, sir, are wrong like the largest possible wrong thing.
I have no opinions on album Bowie. I like the singles collection.
And I have seven of the eight "good" new alt albums mentioned in that EW article (am missing The Killers). How trendoid can I get?

Which one? The double disc set?
I have to confess - when I say I have 26 albums, that's counting, for example, the BBC recordings as 3 separate discs, and the Ziggy 30th anniversary edition as 2 discs, etc.

What I have is called changesbowie, and is just one disc. I got it on half.com a few years ago.

I'm sure you're going to say yes, but is the Interpol CD good? I love "NYC" and "Obstacle 1" oh so much.

Ha, yes, I think in this case it was a specific riposte to some band whose records used to say "no synthesisers were used in this recording"...was it Queen?
I don't remeber if Queen printed this in their liner notes, but the band I remember always printing this in the liner notes was Iron Maiden. It reamined true, right up until Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, when they finally realized that, as filter said, technology in the hands of creative, intelligent individuals is a tool for art, not a hindrance.

Speaking of things printed on album covers, I remember albums from the 1980's that had a little icon on the sleeve of a cassette tape with a frown. Underneath it read, "Home taping is killing music." I remember one night the host of Brave New Waves started off the show by saying "No matter what they tell you, home taping is not what's killing music."
I think of that line whenever people mention downloading for the woes of the record industry.

David Bowie CDs - 4, plus Sound & Vision (3.5), plus an EP, plus a Davy Jones & Manish Boys, plus the Deram Anthology, plus Live(2), plus The Singles (2.5).
LPs - 5, plus picture disk interview.
tribute CDs - 2.
my first was Diamond Dogs, and I think it is my favorite. but god I love the songs Heroes and All the Young Dudes.
And Damn but David Byrne must not watch where he is going. He walked smack into me on the street like three years ago and made me spill my frozen yogurt.

Sound & Vision (3.5)
Which version? The recent "re-release" or the genuine article from, what, 20 years ago?
I love the songs Heroes and All the Young Dudes.
I have a couple of good covers of those - Heroes by Blondie, and All The Young Dudes by Gene Loves Jezebel. Well, and, as someone metioned upthread, the Goth Oddity (which, now that I think about it, is where the GLJ cover comes from), but, for the most part, they were eh.

I have the 1989 Sound & Vision. that was NOT 20 years ago. sigh.
I have the Blondie Heroes, but have never heard the GLJ. And I like GLJ, so I'd love to hear it, may have to look for that? The Alejandro Escovedo, All the Young Dudes maked me ridiculously happy, I think I've mentioned that hear before.
edit - it helps if I read the previous post correctly and thoroughly.
