Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ack. I never heard any Coil, but I'm pretty sure I've loved some of their NIN remixes.

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?

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.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
It's really wrong that the Jack Black version does it for me, isn't it?
Joanna Newsom: yes? no? I'm curious to get the Buffista Line (yeah, like there is one) on her. Although if everyone likes her, Al Green better watch hisself as #1 Buffista Artist.

Joanna Newsom: yes? no?
Someone burned me a copy of her CD, but I couldn't listen to it all the way through. I can't stand her voice.

Actually, nope. The boy can sing.

I love it. And that reminds me that my copy of the High Fidelity soundtrack has gone missing completely.
