My point is that they have A LOT of time to fill and so they play loose with the definition of "cheese".
That became apparent a bit after I posted. Definitely fun stuff, but it eventually got wearying.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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."
See, to me that just sounds sad. Like she knows no one buys her CDs anymore except a few Kathleen Hanna fans, so she's trying to turn into Peaches. It makes me feel sorry for her.
I don't know - I don't think it was an attention grabbing bid. I think Joan had been active in the B&D scene for a while, it became a big part of her sexuality and it was more of a coming out. Fetish wasn't released with a big promotional push, and it was more than five years ago.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Love my Interpol CD that I cannot find. And Plei will agree, they are great in performance, which would make seeing Curiosa even more worthwhile.

I didn't know this was something from several years back. It still stinks of marketing ploy to me, though. (I know my reaction is supposed to be, "How great that she can be honest about that in her music!," but really? I don't want to know that much about anybody's sex life unless I'm sleeping with them.)
I think the same about Ms.-Jackson-If-You're-Nasty, BTW.

Are you ready to be strong?
The JJ thing makes me sad, too. Even if privately she was into B&D? To put it on her album just screams NOTICE ME, I'M SHOCKING in a sad kinda pathetic way.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So how do you classify Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side"?

That song is pretty enough to justify its own existence.

That song is pretty enough to justify its own existence.
Insider trivia: The super cool bass on that song is played by Herbie Flowers - the leading British session man of his day. He also plays the bass on the equally cool glam era hit "Rock On" by David Essex.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Even nicer WOTWS trivia: the sax solo was by the guy who taught Bowie sax when he was 12. I love that.
