'Serenity'
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.
Yes!
ETA: And two people from the Other Thread I post to have pieces in the new HH. Worlds Collide!
(Though not all that shocking, since we all started out at TT.)
Maud rocks! And writes like a freakin' monster! She's promised us another article for the next issue.
Speaking of: I hope some of y'all will consider pitching articles to the HH. We're hoping to get Issue #5 up by the end of September, and the current proposed theme is "democracy in pop culture". Send pitches (or even send me an email if you have something half-baked that you'd like to pursue) to: hayden@thehighhat.com, please!
Cool! Do you have a link? ("Fuck no! But there's a poster." </Ed Wood> I'm sorry: I can't restrain myself from the asides, so I'm spoiler fonting it. Tourette's arcana.)
I've given up on "Sister Ray" (yep, no more trannies for me), but if someone else manages to download it I'm anxious to hear an assessment.
Maud's blog pretty much overloaded my "6 Degrees of Cultural Referents to Me" fuse. Yes, my name is spelled J-o-e but it's pronounced Narcissus.
Must leave my office before hypothermia sets in. I fear I'm already too late. Au revoir, mes amis!
Tenor sax legend, Illinois Jacquet died.
Didn't he play on "Flying Home," Joe?
btw, I've got the proofs. They look good.
What do you mean by "democracy in popular culture," hayden?
RIP Illinois Jacquet, easily one of the top five cool names in a genre with cool names to spare.
Hayden, that Andy Wilson tape piece is a thing of beauty.
