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.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

My sister told me about it. She thought I would be upset because I was upset with Jaguar using "London Calling."

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

I just have to say that the Angus Buffistamix CD is FG. I am worried, though, because I've listened to that AC/DC song about five times already. This is not consonant with my established musical worldview. In fact, I may owe my headbanging little brother an apology (but I draw the line at seeking out any Lita whatsername).

Anyway, it's been so long -- who do I send these off to? Joe B?

And everyone's heard the Postal Service cover of "Against All Odds," right? Right? It performs a total Phil Collins exorcism.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Heh. Weird. I see two shows this year, and Butterfly Boucher opens 'em both. She opened for BNL earlier this year (along with Gavin DeGraw, whom I was surprised to really enjoy). She was good, and now I'm at least familiar with her single and a decent cover she's got out.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Bonzo Dog Band alumnus Vivian Stanshall's Sir Henry At Rawlinson End.

Can't beat a bit of Sir Henry. He did a late-night TV ad for Ruddles beer in the late '80s that still terrifies those of us who remember it. One of the real, great tragic genius figures of the British '60s, Viv Stanshall was. You know he died in a fire a while back?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I am worried, though, because I've listened to that AC/DC song about five times already.

Which Accadacca song did he put on the mix?

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

You know he died in a fire a while back?

Damn. That's a shame.

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

Ah, well, of course. That one's hard to resist. t starts playing chunky chunky air guitar

Glad you enjoyed it erinaceous! AC/DC are, well, not my usual thing perhaps, but they transcend all musical boundaries really don't they.

(BTW one of the laneways in Melbourne is going to be renamed "ACDC Lane"!)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

This just in from Yo La Tengo:

Do you have a tv? Do you live in the US? Well, we're going to be on the McEnroe program Thursday night. It airs on CNBC at 10 pm where we live (Hoboken), and who-knows-when where you are. And they rerun it too. We'll play a song, and we're going to be the house band as well.

That's tonight. They're not on TV very often, so this should be special. Try to ignore Mac's godawful interviewing skills.
