Wow!
Definitely announce if that happens!!!
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I missed the protest song discussion? I hope someone mentioned "Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards," by Billy Bragg -- one of the few really hopeful songs about being a political musician, and one that has given me hope in a few dark times. Although lately, the song I have had in my head is Loudon Wainwright's "President's Day," which is unfortunately now out of date.
Hi, all! I've been busy, and then ill. I'm mostly better.
So I've agreed to read at the LITG reading in NYC (Joe! You WUSS!). Rhett Miller of the Old 97s is playing Fez the night before. The Handsome Family play Southpaw the night of. I guess I'm reading both those pieces!

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I was stuck on hold at work, and heard what was, I assume, Sarah Brightman's version of Whiter Shade of Pale. OK, she has a pretty good voice, like a latter day Annie Lennox, but the harpsichord was just a bad, bad idea.

One guy says to another, "Ask me, what's the most important thing about comedy?"
"OK," the second guy replies, "what's the most important --"
"Timing," says the first guy.

While I find it hard to dispute your basic point, Misha, no one asked me to read. I did not pull a Johnson (huh? that didn't sound right...): I neither sought nor declined to accept the invitation to read.
I forgot to mention "Machine Gun" as a favorite protest song. Jimi Hendrix re-creates, using just his guitar, artistry and lots of volume, a firefight on stage at the Fillmore East, bewildering the New Year's Eve revelers. One of his great moments. Devastating stuff.

Listening to Lou Reed's New York, and I just have to ask: Did he listen to a shitload of Warren Zevon when he made this album?

Up with the sun
Oh, hey, speaking of the mix trade -- does anyone who's willing to pass it on have the .MP3 of "Song for Whoever," from Kate's mix? I mislabeled the songs when I was copying them over to save and somehow skipped that one.
Thanks.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Sorry, Lyra Jane, my computer doesn't do MP3s. I hope someone else can help you out!
