We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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.

As played by Jude Law's ex-wife?

Kinda-sorta. Hmm. No, then probably Lucy, as played by Winona.

I think the actual Victorian icon for gothy women is a melding of every Victorian fashion plate we've ever seen, plus all the pretty dresses in costume dramas.

Oh! Lily from Legend, after she turns to the dark side. Fabulous dress, black lipstick, and swoopy dancing.

Yeah, I couldn't think of an example even though I've seen this look. Hmmm. The woman in Genitorturers?

I suppose. Or any female extra from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.

La la la, I'm seeing Voltaire tonight! And I'll have a good view no matter what, because I get to stay up in the DJ booth at the club.

Actually, if you go back and click on the Sadie Frost link above, I changed it to one with all of her looks in that movie.

That's from one of the UK music magazines, right? Pete has a copy of it back at his parents' house.

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

So watching VH-1 Classic's The Alternative is exposing me to a bunch of 90s British bands that I more or less ignored in the 90s. These are mostly groups associated with the shoegazer scene.

Who's got an opinion on the following records?

Spooky - Lush

Isn't Anything - MBV

Blurred Crusade - The Church

Nowhere - Ride

Ferment - Catherine Wheel

Wake Up - Boo Radleys

Ferment - Catherine Wheel

I own it and I love it. The songs are incredibly textured. Chrome is another album of theirs that's great--there's a song called "The Nude" which is all about the singer going to a museum and falling in love with a woman in a painting.

If you're going to get a Church album, go with Starfish.

Tempted, because the video for "Reptile" had all kinds of cool dual guitar interplay. The Catherine Wheel video for "Black Metallic" really caught my eye and ear. I think I'd (unfairly) dismissed them as MBV wannnabees, but there was obviously something going on that was smart and interesting in that song.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Isn't Anything - MBV

Is that the one with "Cupid Come"?

t checks collection

Yep, it is. Seminal.

Nowhere - Ride

From Allmusic:

Nowhere seems to hold consensus as the second-best record of the shoegaze era, and with very good reason. All of the common words, phrases, and adjectives commonly used with the short-lived subgenre fit properly here, and they're all positive, every one of them. Whir, whoosh, haze, swirl, ad nauseum -- this record holds all of these elements at their most exciting and mastered.

I wouldn't be quite so effusive, but it is very good. Equally worthwhile by Ride is the "Smile" album which collects their first two EPs. "Chelsea Girl" (not that one) is a great song and worthy of the title.

Tempted, because the video for "Reptile" had all kinds of cool dual guitar interplay.

And also because it really ought to be against the law not to have "Under the Milky Way" as a part of your music library.
