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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I saw it in Boston and Aimee Mann and Jules Shear were the local guests. GREAT show.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you

Elvis Costello is a wicked nice guy, too. He came in to Tower Records when I was working there (just to shop) and was incredibly kind and generous with his time when he got stopped for autographs.

I think there are a few other Talking Heads fans around here--anyway, this is funny for anyone who ever had a professor constantly reference a certain band, tv show, etc.

During a recent season's episode of the British sketch show, Dead Ringers, Elvis Costello walked into the real Chemist shop where the actor portraying Ozzy Osbourne was "working". At first I thought it was just someone who happened to look like Elvis but no, it was the real man. He only stayed briefly and you couldn't get a good look b/c it was a hidden camera but he appeared to be fooled by the impersonator (who was brilliant) and totally bemused to see "Ozzy" working behind the counter. "Ozzy" kept telling him how much he loved his music and that they should work together some time. It all appeared to be a completely unexpected appearance by Elvis and was high-larious.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

...unsurprisingly it looks a lot like a party tape I would've made in college ('79 - '83).

What kind of music does Southern Culture on the Skids play? There are bootleg shows by them on the Internet Archive and Furthurnet and I've often wondered what their style is, or what bands are comparable to them.

Sonically sort of like Creedence Clearwater Revival, with a strong dose of The Cramps. Lyrically, very funny white trash tales of misadventure. Rick Miller is an excellent guitarist with a great feel for surf twang, and swamp rock.

Cool, I'll have to download a show or two. Lurg knows it won't be easy to find a legit release in Adelaide, though there are a couple of stores who might be able to get in an import if I like what I hear on a bootleg recording.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

This sounds like sonething that would appeal to Bay-area Buffistas:

Yes, this Tuesday (8/10) Project: Pimento brings their theremin lounge sounds back to the East Bay and back in time, to play the retro event SpeakEasily, dubbed "Oakland's ONLY Weimar cabaret vaudevillian Kultur fest". We're not quite sure what that means, but it sounds hella interesting. This all takes place at The Mile High Club, located at 3629 Martin Luther King Jr. Way in scenic Oakland (www.oaklandmilehigh.com). Project: Pimento will play two sets, starting at 9pm. In between, burlesque wonder THE INDRA performs her Theater of Blood High-Body-Count Apache Dance. Now that's entertainment! We'll see you at the bar...
