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.

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

You tell me to do that anytime I meet a Buffista.

And it's good freakin' advice.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Well I never said I didn't follow it. *g*

You know what, this listing of Xmas music mixes is making me feel like a total grinch. The only Xmas music I really like is Vince Guraldi's, and really any other. I think I get Xmas music enough everywhere else, that I just don't want to listen to it at home.

Anyway, that's not why I'm here. msbelle, the copy of Joe Boucher's mix you sent me is totally frelled. The computer (and my stereo) can read the disc, but can't play it. It has crashed every media playing/recording program on my computer, and even made my CD player make strange noises and stop playing. I am going to try again at work, but if I can't get it to work, I will just send the other three on to Bicyclops.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The apocalypse is nigh -- I just heard Modern English's "I Melt With You" in a commercial for Ritz crackers. Jesus. That was our Prom theme one year (1987, IIRC).

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I knew the Apocalypse was nigh the moment I heard Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life" selling Carnival Cruise Lines.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Are you all aware that Bowie's Lady Stardust was actually written about Marc Bolan?

"The Jean Genie" was about Iggy Pop.

Queen Bitch is about Lou Reed, too.

...and (coming in late) "Rebel Rebel" is about the New York Dolls.

Though, curiously, "Song For Bob Dylan"? About Nikolai Kruschev.

This has been commented on before, but the power of the Buffistas is a wondrous thing. When I go to Amazon.com, the first page recommends "Lost in the Grooves" to me because I bought "The Famous Flower of Serving Men." Even more entertaining is the "people who bought" list:

The Famous Flower of Serving Men by Deborah Grabien
Kill Your Idols : A New Generation of Rock Writers Reconsiders the Classics by Jim Derogatis
The New Rolling Stone Album Guide: Completely Revised and Updated 4th Edition by Nathan Brackett
Chronicles, Vol. 1 by Bob Dylan
Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris

Heh. I do love that Deb and I are essentially cross-marketing.
