David, will there be a transcript or downloadable audio available for your interview? It wasn't really feasible for me to stream.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

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 took you up on your Streets challenge
Damn, I was hoping everyone had forgotten about that! (I haven't kept count but I'm pretty sure I'm still going to be having a hobbit-free Christmas.)

the Flirts as in Passion? As in the acknowledged inspiration for Blue Monday, West End Girls and thus basically all modern dance music?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
How about Bowie's version?
Just not the same. Of course, for such a little-known song, there's been an awful lot of renditions. We hvae the Modern Lovers version, which is the original. I think there were a couple others, too.

See now I didn't know this. Same Flirts - I didn't realize they were a project by HiNRG producer Bobby Orlando. 'Sfunny I was just watching the New Order video for "Confusion" (set in grimy Manhattan clubs) and thinking about how they were influenced by the New York club scene.

How can that be? It's up on their website. I expect one can buy copies of transcripts or the recording of the actual show. I'll probably have to invest in one myself.

Both New Order and the PSBs (whose debut single was originally Bobby O-Produced) have said that they were trying to make a british Passion. Neil Tennant, in particular, claims he almost gave up on the whole idea when he heard Blue Monday, having been beaten to the punch.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Just poking in to say that I haven't mailed out the Buffista mix CDs, but I'm in California and they are in Somerville so I can't do anything about it right now.

And FAQ Girl and I listened to David on NPR yesterday and I laughed at the buffista-shout-out story David told about the "friend" buying a Go-Betweens CD and the clerk getting all excited.
