So excited!
Prepare to uncouple -- uncouple.

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

The Sweet, huh? That's the version I have, but I couldn't believe it was the original, because, well, it sounds like the Rocky Horror version. Huh. Who knew?
I am going to no shows; having missed Dar Williams at the Birchmere I must observe a period of sulking for a month.

I'm sure she'll be touring Greece this fall. Or was that Nana Mouskouri?

Yeah, I get them confused too.

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

My mother at one stage, with the glasses she wore and her hairstyle, was a dead ringer for Nana Mouskouri. Which, all things considered, is better than one's father looking like Demis Roussos.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Yes, Tracy Ullman covered "They Don't Know..." but Kirsty MacColl wrote it, and her version of it opens her great compilation Galore.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Heh. And here I was thinking for months that a country music version of "They Don't Know" would be brilliant!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I don't know -- Ullman made that song so much her own.
One of the most charming pop songs of 1984 -- which may have been the best year ever for pop music in the U.S.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Although the new (acapella) Bjork album is as gorgeous as anything she's done, combining Aphex Twin, Tim Buckley, Kate Bush and Scott Walker to brilliant effect, there's this moment on the last track where someone starts mewing like a little kitten that just makes me giggle and notice the preposterousness of the preceding hour - beatboxing! throat singing! Snyder! - and almost ruins the suspension of disbelief.
