Well, happy birthday to you, too, Nora!

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.

Happy Birthday to Angus & Nora. What time/day is it in Australia now? Should we wish Angus happy bday "tomorrow"?
I've always liked the John Cale verson of Hallelujah
Speaking of John Cale, he's on the Leonard Lopate show today. He's up third, so probably around 1. He's also performing in-studio. The show should be archived by tomorrow.
And speaking of musical interviews, Harry Shearer interviewed the great Allen Toussaint on the latest (9/5/04) episode of Le Show. For those of you who don't recognize the name, he was the guiding light of New Orleans r&b in the sixties & seventies. He either wrote, produced or performed on almost every hit out of the Crescent City from about 1960-1977. (I didn't hear his name until much later, but 1977 is the first time his music entered my world via Glen Campbell's cover of "Southern Nights," which was a big hit. Actually I take that back: "Lady Marmalade" was probably my first contact with him.) "Working in the Coalmine," "Mother-in-Law", Aaron Neville, Irma Thomas, the Meters, Dr. John, the Band (he did the horn charts for Rock of Ages)... Toussaint was everywhere.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Australia's ahead of the US, so I guess we should be wishing Angus a happy belated birthday (right?). Also, happy day to Nora!

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Toussaint's From A Whisper To A Scream was one of the records I considered for the book.
I've always liked the John Cale verson of Hallelujah, and it FREAKED MY SHIT UP when I heard it used in Shrek.
Didn't it feel like overkill? Like, playing "Strange Fruit" over a Ren & Stimpy cartoon?

Dude, *that* would be funny.
Especially if it was Siouxsie and the Banshees cover of it.

Oh yeah. I thought it was an odd choice at best. I was freaked out at hearing it at all.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Hec, when is the book coming out?
'Cause any book with an index featuring both Herb Alpert and the Andrews Sisters (BTW, ever seen Buck Privates?) sounds like my kind of book.
