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.

Roky Erickson was at our gig last night. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), he was there for the first band, and didn't stick around for our show. I got a picture with him, though.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Did you ask him about Pynchon? (apparently a major Roky fanboy)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Did he seem healthy?

I didn't ask him about much, 'cause he seemed very drugged. His brother was there, and we talked for a few minutes about how much Roky loves Buddy Holly.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Picked up the new Icehouse album. If you liked Iva's earlier stuff (Crazy, Great Southern Land, etc), you probably ought to get this. It's all covers, from artists such as The Bowie, Talking Heads, Lou Reed, Frank Sinatra, and (oddly) Killing Joke. Very very good stuff.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Picked up the new Icehouse album.
wow, I thought Iva had entered a monastery or something. Interesting to see he's back (or still going).
eta: you can download a song from the new album at Iva's website: [link]
etaa: oops, my mistake. The downloadable song is from a work in progress and not from the album Gandalfe was talking about. From Iva's site:
NEWS UPDATE : 09 JULY 2004 : HEROES ATHENS MIX AND NEW CD
Icehouse will release a version of David Bowie's 'Heroes' to coincide with the upcoming Athens Summer Olympics. The song will be available as both a CD single AND on a new album that features songs previously released on the 'Berlin Tapes' album plus the new version of 'Heroes'. Warners have decided upon this release as they thought the Berlin Tapes album was too often thought to be a ballet soundtrack and thus it didn't do justice to the content - a great album of cover versions.
You can see the track listing here:

Fans of 60's pop (I'm looking at you, David!) -- This looks to be a great resource.

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

Yeah, Spectropop rocks. I haven't been there in a while, though, so thanks for the nudge. The whole Curt Boettcher revival kind of started there. And the book contributes to that by doing both his album as Sagitarrius and his solo album.
