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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The Alejandro Escovedo, All the Young Dudes maked me ridiculously happy, I think I've mentioned that hear before.

When I saw him live with True Believers (they were opening for Los Lobos at The Channel - mid 80s), he did T. Rex's "20th Century Boy." (Steve Berlin sat in on sax.) Throw in his New York Dolls love and he's almost as much of a glam fiend as I am.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I have a 12" single with "Heroes" in English/German on one side and English/French on the other. That and a CD of Hunky Dory are the only Bowie I own.

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

Yes. If you like those two songs then it won't disappoint.

Both times I've been to Austin, I've seen Alejandro hanging out at the awesome Maria's Taco X-Press. I've heard his health is a little better.

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

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? (Which would be a bit ironic considering how completely non-"live" their music sounds!)

The only album I've ever seen this was on Queen's A Night at the Opera, which IIRC came out in '75.

First album I ever owned. sniff....

I've mentioned this before, but my first three music loves were Elton John, Queen, and David Bowie. I was so meant to be gay.

I'm glad. Somebody should get his life story down on tape - he's got to have some stories to tell having been involved in so many seminal scenes, and with his personal history.

I need to report two things: (1) Iggy's "Shake Appeal" still fuckin' smokes; (2) I think I am addicted to Trader Joe's hummus.

Maybe your sister stole it when you were watching cartoons. "Hey! Give me back my gay!"

That would make sense. She's wiley like that.

I am addicted to Trader Joe's smoked salmon. As well as their strawberry/blueberry/raspberry granola.

If I become addicted to their hummus it only means I'll eat more food.

TJ's spicy hummus is the best fucking thing EVER. I had it for dinner tonight :)
