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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Hey David -- I got the glam mix yesterday. Thanks! A postal tip for you, though: Sending a CD priority mail for $3.85 is a waste of money. Use regular first class. It'll only cost a dollar and change and arrives just as fast.

Note to File: Jon unimpressed with Sense of Urgency thing
Thank you, though.

I got Lash Larue and the symbolist/guitarist but missed other key fields. 19 across did make me laugh, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm listening to WFMU. They just played "Say Something New" by The Concretes. I liked the song so much I bought it from iTunes. So I was listening to a 128 kbps stream of the song while downloading a 128 kbps iTunes version of the same song.
God, I love technology.

Does anyone have an opinion on Taking Back Sunday? They're kind of a one-trick band -- the alternating vocalists -- but that trick really, really works for me. Is their newest album any good?

That's one of the reasons I love Linkin Park. I think I've heard one Taking Back Sunday song and wasn't too thrilled. Another band with more than one vocalist is The Stereo, though they don't switch off during the song usually, and I think one of them left after a while.
Oh, Eddie from Ohio has three vocalists. And I guess you already know the Beastie Boys.
