Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

Willow ,'The Killer In Me'


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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Dude, *that* would be funny.

Especially if it was Siouxsie and the Banshees cover of it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Didn't it feel like overkill? Like, playing "Strange Fruit" over a Ren & Stimpy cartoon?

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.

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

Hec, when is the book coming out?

October 26th. Looks like I'll get a little money to travel/promote it, and I'm thinking I'd like to go to Chicago. waves to Chicagoistas

erinaceous was going to try to do something at Quimbys.

'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.

And The Angry Samoans! There's a fair amount of non-rock of many flavors in the book. But yeah, there are articles on Sam Cooke and Jackie and Roy in there too. I've got a whole sidebar on jazzbo singers.
