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.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Worst song by favorite band - "Mermaid Legs" Versus. Good laws, how did Richard go so wrong?

We saw the Curiosa festival Friday, which I went on about for far too long in my journal. But one thing I noticed about the Cure's performance is that Robert Smith, at least, seems to be sort of grudgingly accomodating in playing "Lovecats" and "Friday I'm in Love" for the five thousandth times.
My question is this: Do performers have any type of an obligation to play older material or hits? Should they, if it bores them but makes the fans happy? I know some performers basically do greatest hits shows, whereas other bands play newer music almost exclusively. What's the right balance?

Dylan deals with this by radically changing the song's arrangement - trying to make it new, and find different angles on it.

I've heard of artists (Connie Francis may be one) who do a medley of the old hits, to satisfy the fans who came for that reason, but emphasize the newer songs.

Joe Jackson's live album has, I believe, 4 versions of Is She Really Going Out With Him.

Yo La Tengo has done this many times as well.

One of my CD players died last night. Before I buy a new one, I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with the 'enhanced' CD formats like SACD or DVD-A? I grew up on vinyl, and I have this persistent delusion that CDs, for all of their advantages, lack something of the emotional edge of good old records. I'm wondering if more digits would help, or at least prove that I'm a nut so I can get over my irrational Luddism.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
One tour, Elvis Costello had a huge wheel onstage with all his songs on it, and audience members got to spin it and whatever it landed on, they played.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
What happened if the wheel kept landing on the same song?
