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.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I have a friend who did a couple of Xmas discs. I'll try to hunt down track lists and post them, if you're interested.

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

Huh, there's a Placebo greatest hits.

Placebo's music is so full of sex and drugs, it's amazing the rock & roll doesn't come across as an afterthought. On the contrary, Once More with Feeling proves the androgynous, pan-sexual, pan-European trio to be one of the UK's most consistent singles bands. - Popmatters

Hayden, did you see there's a Jandek documentary out now?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Huh, there's a Placebo greatest hits.

Yep, there is. I have to check if the version with the DVD has been released in the US yet. And if it has and I don't get it as a present, I'm buying it on December 26th.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Jilli, you might like the Christmas Revels. I've seen the show several times--it's lots of fun, and it's got just the right ratio of Christmas to Solstice for me.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Hayden, did you see there's a Jandek documentary out now?

Yep. I've almost seen it so many times (but failed to do so at the last minute) that I'm starting to think it's captured the true spirit of Jandek. It's possible I might be lame, too.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

Huh, there's a Placebo greatest hits.

Yeah. They're not really hits, but most people never realize the difference.

Essential Albums 2000-2009

I knew I'd been sorta sleepwalking through the decade, but I didn't realize I had missed the middle and end of it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Any Duran Duran people who can tell me what year/tour had a logo that was simply a planet, a star, and a heart?

Art Crawl!!!

David -- I went to Borders to by LitG and found one copy. I have 3 friends that need your book (as a gift from me, you know) and that was the last copy in town. Barnes and Noble told me that they couldn't order it as it was already backordered.

It's doing well, no?
