It's really wrong that the Jack Black version does it for me, isn't it?
Actually, nope. The boy can sing.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

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

Joanna Newsom: yes? no? I'm curious to get the Buffista Line (yeah, like there is one) on her.
Definitely a love her or hate her kinda singer. I love her, though I totally get why some folks find her voice annoying. Indie-harpist with odd cupie-doll vocals. Some great songs, and an overall great sound. If I were making a best of 2004 CD this year, she'd be on it.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
My new U2 iPod is somewhere in my work building, taking entirely too long for it to arrive at my desk. Feh!
I have managed to avoid most of the new songs, having caught only the tail end of a few on the radio. I am very pleased at my ability to resist the "spoilers."

Alicia, I've only heard "Vertigo" and "City of Blinding Lights." Love "Vertigo"; on "City...' I really liked the music but wasn't crazy about the vocals.
Did you know all the lyrics are nline here? I found them looking for "City..."'s full title.

Jon: why AREN'T you making a best of 2004 cd this year?
Has somebody forgotten to bribe Jon?

Uh, so did everybody already know that The Mekons have a video for "Memphis, Egypt"? They played it on VH-1 Classic. I might have to save that one for the book reading thingie.

I made one the last two years as a premium for WMBR fundraising ("donate $60, get my CD"). This year, instead, I offered a four CD set containing my 4 hour 20th anniversary show for $100. I'm not sure how any many extras I'll have once the donor copies are sent out, so I'm not offering them up yet.

A friend just e'ed me the following:
I set my Tivo up to find programs that mentioned Polyphonic Spree (that way if they are on Letterman or Conan it gets recorded). So I'm looking last night at what is set up to record and it shows "Las Vegas" a show on NBC for 11/29. Here is the show's plot:
"Silver Star" Danny and Mike's attempt to find a missing girl leads them to a man with a criminal past; Delinda becomes enamored with the Polyphonic Spree, an unusual musical group, and its leader, Tim DeLaughter.
