Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

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.

Are you ready to be strong?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Gronk.

My mix should be in the mail soon.

Anyone else having trouble being witty with liner notes?

No one will say. Dunno why.

I love the Chaka Khan title! Aka THE REVENGE OF DISCO!

By the way, re the Dido conversation in the last thread, two fun Dido facts:

(1) Eminem first heard "Thank You" (which he sampled for "Stan") on the soundtrack of the film Sliding Doors. Just try to picture Eminem watching Sliding Doors! Do you think he cried when the alt-Gwyneth died at the end?

(2) My sister once had a long chat with Dido at a party...which sounds unimpressive until you realise that this means I am two degrees of separation from Eminem!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

For posterity, the initial title for this thread was:

Music II: "I'm down with the new music. And I have the albums to prove it."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

For posterity, the initial title for this thread was:

Thank you. I was actually just wondering that.

Up with the sun

I made my mix last night. Just want to give it a few more listens before it gets reburned and sent on its way.

And yes, I am verrah verrah fond of it.

Ok, so I have to thank the music thread denizens for bringing the Klymaxx special onto my tv radar because it was the most excellent thing on my screen in a looong while. A full on bitchy drama-fest from start to finish. But the absolute most totally awesome moment came when the smarmy host, Amir (Smarmir), went looking for the keyboard girl. He found her at her job in a generic downtown LA office building, but the security guards would not let Smarmir and the camera peeps inside, which was ridiculous because who really wants to watch Boney-T make the mail rounds at the bp offices anyway? Whatev. So then, Smarmir called keyboard girl's boss and the boss let him know that he could catch up with keyboard girl when she came downstairs to take her cigarette break. And if I'm keyboard girl, I would have ripped my boss a new one for giving out information about my personal habits to a total stranger over the phone. For all he knew, Smarmir could have been some psychopath Klymaxx stalker who planned to chop keyboard girl's head off and use it in some hideous sacrifice to the gods of cheesy 80's music. But I digress. So anyway, Smarmir catches up with keyboard girl smokin' outside, and then it happened. Keyboard girl tells Smarmir that she can't talk to him because, and I quote, "I've got a meeting." And of course I yell, "Is it in the ladies room?" and cackle like a mad thing. But it got even better because like five minutes later she said it again, "I've got a meeting" to which I replied, "Yeah you do. In the ladies room!" It was awesome. I can't believe Smarmir didn't give the shout out that all Klymaxx fans were waiting for, although keyboard girl might have taken offense and refused to play the reunion gig, which was the ultimate goal. And that's probably why Smarmir is a VH1 host and I'm not.

So the rest of the show was good, but that was the high water mark. And I promise not to post anything elsa about Klymaxx for the next couple of days.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Mostly done with the mix, but I haven't quite gotten a couple of good transitional parts together yet for sufficient flow. Do we have to go in order?

Do we have to go in order?

That was the general consensus.

Mine is not done. I am a deadline driven gal and I'm sure I won't be done til I have to be. But, I already know I have one frighteningly abrupt transition that I can do nothing about.
