I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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.

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.

I mean that it's an Election Day issue, but, as always, instead of talking about the thing-in-itself, we prefer essays about books, movies, music, tv shows, or whatnot reflecting the concept, that's all. And that's only for the Potlatch section. Misha, I'd love to get some of your writing in the Hat, on any ol' subject.

Isn't it? Andy's a clever fellow. Jim, what I said to Misha is true for you, too -- I'd love to get some of your writing in the Hat.

Woo-freakin'-hoo! (And David, re: what I'd like to get in the Hat, msg: your writing.)

P.S. I did my first gig with The Soft Set tonight &, as I'd feared, couldn't read my crib notes at all. For some songs where I wasn't sure of the chord progression, my strategy was: "hit a D chord & hold it until the song is in D."
