Well as long as 500 is just sitting there...
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.
And now for some content: My mix was mailed today.
I just wanted to add a little bit of personal knowledge in case there was any doubt.
Ah, gotcha. I felt bad about it 'cos I really like MLL.
Question for iTunes users: When listening to my CD, I noticed that the volume on some songs was noticeably louder or softer than on the preceding or following track. Is there any way to adjust things in iTunes so that whoever winds up with the CD won't have to constantly adjust the volume while listening?
Secret message for Jon: WOO FUCKIN' HOO! When I read your liner notes, I was hoping I'd be early in line.
Joe, I can't wait to hear your mix. The whole EDO thing is mega-cool, for both the Lethem and Exley connections.
Edit -- oh yeah, my mix went out today.
The whole EDO thing is mega-cool
This may be pointing out the obvious, hayden, but EDO is Eliot's band. The other choice for book/movie connection was "This Is Your Life, Boris Karloff," which he wrote around the same time he wrote "Exley". It would have been appropriate for a Frankenmix CD. Exley, OTOH, has the advantage of being well under two minutes. He sent me your email exchange; very amusing.
EDO is Eliot's band.
Should I know who Eliot is? I've never heard of EDO.
I was much busier this weekend than I intended to be, so I'm gonna reburn mine tonight and send it out tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. I received Alicia's CD on Saturday and haven't even had time to listen to it yet! Really looking forward to it, though.
Should I know who Eliot is? I've never heard of EDO.
On general principle yes because Eliot & his band are great, but as a practical matter no, there's no reason you would have heard of either. But I introduced Eliot & hayden. They've been trading emails about Moby Dick, but I don't know if Eliot's musical endeavors came up.
so I'm gonna reburn mine tonight and send it out tomorrow.
I've just been kinda lurking today waiting for someone else to fess up to being late first. Thanks Kate! Mine goes out tomorrow as well. I'm a little frustrated with it after listening to it several times this wknd. But I have to remember that just because I'm sick of hearing some of my selections, doesn't mean others will be.
Liner notes are, once more, ridiculously long, despite my best attempts at brevity. They'll be posted a little late as well. (LJ is posting them for me and I have to wait till she gets the actual mix - since she is the person I am sending it to - so she'll still be surprised and stuff.)

Oh yeah, I was down with this, but not wanting to be all off-boardy. I checked out their website, but don't think the Exley song was on there. Is it going to work for your CD? I want to hear it!
