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!
So, a good time to check out the Pixies if you're not familiear with them. "Debaser" is one of my favorite Pixies songs too. It mentions that scene in Un Chien Andalou (by Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel) where the eyeball gets sliced by a razor....
"Debaser" was my first non-"Where Is My Mind?" Pixies song. I love it.
slicing up eyeballs, whoa-oh-oh-oh!

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
"Debaser" is one of my favortie Pixies songs. Yay! Slicing up eyeballs!
Angus, your post made my day.
Upon first listen, I declare the first half the new U2 CD to be freaking incredible, and the second half merely good. The one exception in the second half is the second-to-last song. I fully expect those songs to grow on me upon further listen.
I think my favorite on the album right now is "City of Blinding Lights." While listening to that first half last night, I actually said "Oh BABY!" several times in excitement for the sounds coming out of my stereo.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, your book arrived yesterday. I only flipped through it, but so far, it's pretty cool. And it looks great.
Yay!
Anyway, I just ordered 40 copies of Lost in the Grooves. Of course, it was for the book signing, but still!
Yay!
I adore "Debaser." Doolittle was not only my gateway drug into the Pixies, but was a major bonding moment with my high school mentor's daughter, Elizabeth. "Isn't this record great!?!"

I can't even.
The Dream Warriors thing was a weird phenomenon. It was a huge hit locally with everyone kind of lost in confusion, because the tune was used as the theme music for a Canadian seventies game show called Definition. Definition was on the air forever and in reruns for longer, so many people were doing double takes whenever the song aired, because it is catchy as hell, but just very strange to hear it in a proto-rap song.
I'll have to try to get my Lost in the Grooves comments written soon, but I felt very hip discovering that I have or have had several of the albums in the book because I figured my tastes were way squarer than that. My favourite crossover: Jan and Dean meet Batman. I loved that album and used to quote stuff from it all the time, until I realized that no one else had heard it, and my obscure quips were falling on confused ears. So, major validation there!
