And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I think i need an intervention. i find myself really enjoying Destiny's Child's new song. i blame it on my love of my college's marching band.

If I only had a brain...

Am having a really weird experience. Am listening to an album that is familiar but that I've never heard.

I know exactly what it's happening. It's Sides 3 and 4 of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well And Living In Paris. Which I listened to back in the phonograph era. And I only listened to Sides 1 and 2. By the time I'd spent an hour listening, I had something else to do.

So here I am hearing the familiar voices and the familiar orchestrations of songs I've never ever heard. Very odd.

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

So here I am hearing the familiar voices and the familiar orchestrations of songs I've never ever heard. Very odd.

That is curious. The only parallel I can think of for myself was when The Who re-released The Who Sell Out on DVD with so many bonus tracks it doubled the album length. The bonus tracks were all in the style of the band at that time, and fit perfectly, so they were familiar and novel at the same time.

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

Heh. On CDBaby, the band JudyJudyJudy advertises that they rock "like a monkey on ice skates." I suspect they're Buffy fans. Also, their lengthier blurb is also entertaining:

From the offices of Lippy Waiter International in beautiful downtown Oklahoma City, comes "Three Chords, No Waiting", the first hatchling from the rock-solid musical hen known to friends and enemies alike as judyjudyjudy. Contained in the confines of this bombshell are several tracks which would simply love to meet your acquaintance.

At Lippy Waiter International, we keep it simple. We keep the chord count down, and the entertainment quotient lofty.

Our love for you knows no bounds, and we certainly appreciate your stopping here.

If you like the rock, give this disc a listen, for the rock is included, at no additional charge.

The members of judyjudyjudy hasten to add that they are not professionals, and that you SHOULD try this at home.

Ack. I never heard any Coil, but I'm pretty sure I've loved some of their NIN remixes.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

We were finishing the recruiting season and I was on Yassar Arafat's deathwatch!

So the spot(s) you were holding for Arafat and/or his possible successor now need to be filled? I'm sorry, I'm just not following this.

David Ritz, Marvin Gaye's biographer & co-writer of "Sexual Healing," on the remix of "Let's Get It On":

I was prepared to honor Marvin's memory by decrying this unauthorized act of musical vandalism. But when I heard the song, now subtitled "The MPG Groove," my outrage turned to astonishment. This "Let's Get It On" was more compelling than the original. Marvin seemed to soar to new heights—if anything, the remix proves Marvin's resilience as an artist for all seasons.

Can't say I agree with him (okay, I'll sign on to the last clause), but I've only heard the clips provided in the article. Did I like what I heard: yeah. More compelling than the original? Not from what I heard. Anyone out there familiar with both who wants to weigh in?

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I'm with you, Joe. Is it good? Yeah. Is it a worthwhile update to the original? Yeah, I can go with that. Is it more compelling than the original? Hell, I don't think it's even more compelling than Jack Black's version.

But, like you, I've only heard the clips they provided. Maybe if I listen to the whole thing a few times, it'll grow on me.
