"Mambo No. 5." The very mention still causes spontaneous seppuku among mambo lovers.
Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

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.

If I only had a brain...
As opposed to seppuku planned in advance?
Oh, Shogun, could you come over on Tuesday? I'm planning on killing myself. Nothing formal, I thought a few hors d'oeuvres, maybe a geisha or two. RSVP.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have no worst song nominees at the moment, though I will note that hatin' on Dolly and Aerosmith will get you nowhere with me.
I'd like to see Metallica do a song like "Dude Looks Like A Lady."
Cool Thing!
Just found out that our editor at Routledge, Richard Carlin, played concertina on the Shoot Out the Lights tour with Richard and Linda Thompson. How fucking cool is that?
NYistas!
Book event in your city tonight: Steve Wynn (of Dream Syndicate) playing an entire set of Flamin' Groovies songs. It'll be very cool.

How fucking cool is that?

Up with the sun
Whatever that song was by Nelly and... Kelly Preston, maybe? Came out a couple of years ago, lots of "aaoouuuwww"s in the chorus?
ACK. That song bugged the crap out of me because the chorus is something like "even when I'm with my boo, all I think about is you." I wanted to scream at the both of them to dump their "boos", hook up, and quit singing about a problem they're BRINGING ON THEMSELVES.
I may take song lyrics a tad too literally.

Hey now, I'm not an Aerosmith-hata. That song just makes me want to jump off a bridge.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I may take song lyrics a tad too literally.
No, that's part of what bugged me about the song, too. Also, use of the word "boo" for boyfriend? Gag. But it's really the "aaaooouuuuww"s in the chorus that drive me over the edge. Make it stop!

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
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 do. Email me - profile address is fine.

Remember that Hoax that the Alarm perpetrated on the British music scene? (Was that last year?)
They (people) are going to be making a movie out of it.

It's bullshit, that, BTW. the UK singles chart is in such freefall that they'd have probl'y got a hit even with the (spectacularly uncool & valueless) Alarm name attached. I think we're currently around 2,000 sales for a top 10.
