Dammit! I fought horrible traffic and went to three different music stores, but could not find the Fiery Furnaces CD. Now I'm gonna go to Evanston to see I, Robot (yeah, I know it's gonna suck) and go to Dr. Wax (the music store where I get most of my CDs). I could buy it on iTunes, but I want the CD so I'll have better sound quality. (It seems that the more sonicly "complex" a song is, the worse it sounds when compressed, so for this album I'd rather not do iTunes.)
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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.

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

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
there's the very real and very annoying possibility that the co-worker who's supposed to check the mail down in the lobby didn't actually do it, and the mail from Friday just sat in the box.
Grr. I was hoping you'd get it in time for the weekend. Well, it'll definitely be there on Monday, then.

I am now seeing Alice as a natural bookend to the Frank Trilogy
been listening to alice all weekend. I am coming to the conclusion it's his masterpiece - it combines the songwriting of the early years with the carny madness of the later work perfectly.

Yeah, I'd love to see it staged. I'll have to content myself with the upcoming The Black Rider in San Francisco with Marianne Faithful.

I went out and got the Fiery Furnaces new cd yesterday -- I love it!
And I'm so embarrassed that I hadn't heard of them since they're from Oak Park.

I have so far failed in my attempts to buy the Fiery Furnaces CD--I think I'lll walk to downtown Evanston on my lunchbreak to try to find it.
Now Playing: "I'm Straight" by the Modern Lovers (Jonathan Richman's band). Best anti-drug song evah!
"See, he's stoned--hippy Johnny. Now get this: I'm straight, and I want to take his place."

Did we ever get the CD mix in motion again?
