Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

Closed Threads

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The new reissue is mostly worthwhile for the three brilliant singles appended to it: a mercilessly funny rewrite of Peggy Lee's "Is That All There Is?" that the song's composers promptly suppressed, thanks to its lyrical updates ("I remember when I was a little girl my mother set the house on fire. She was like that")

What does Douglas mean by "suppressed"? The song showed up on that Xmas compilation album "A Christmas Record" that also had the Waitresses and Suicide. Was it withdrawn from the market?

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

Was it withdrawn from the market?

That's what I'm guessing.

Then they didn't do a very effective job. That comp used to be all over the $1.99 bins in used record stores.

Paris Hilton should just cover the whole thing when she starts making records three years from now.

He doesn't also seem to be aware that Paris has already recorded an album. And started her own record company since no one else would release it.

Could she afford to purchase an audience, too?

I think we all have that kind of money. Unfortunately.

Actually I suspect it would be one of those great paradoxes: she seems to like to give it away, but if we had to buy it I don't think the sum total purchasing power of this board would be sufficient -- certainly not for upkeep.

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

Joe, that Janus tech (allowing you to play subscription tracks on your mp3 player) is gonna be a very big deal for the Windoze market. Look for it getting hype from services like Rhapsody (small, but growing and influential) and Napster as well as Micro$oft.

[Hell, everyone's getting into the market -- WalMart, of course, is already there, Virgin has a (buggy) digital music store, Fox will sell you your favorite show's theme as a polyphonic ringtone or an MP3 (including, yes, the Wonderfalls theme) at foxmusic.com, and MTV's announced a digital music service as well.
