I may just decide I need to fly up to Seattle to see The Bowie. I can't fucking believe he's playing KANSAS CITY and not Salt Lake. Gah! I need to move to a real city.

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.
Oops, okay, that's four other editors then I think in this exchange: erinaceous, Steph, tina and Hayden. And I know we've got others loose on the board.

In spirit at least, and hopefully soon in a moneymaking sense as well.
Alicia's mix is excellent; I had that cover of "Mad World" from the Donnie Darko soundtrack in my head all day yesterday. So pretty.
Kate, is that the Michael Andrews version, with little more than a piano for instrumentation ? It's very pretty and very depressing.
This is the danger of naming names. Five. But there can be no more than five because that's not even possible.
Six, if newsletters count as editing. (I'm a writer/editor, but my business card says editor.)
Sorry.
Edit: And I missed Kate's post. Seven.
Eight, editing our upcoming catalog as we type.
Eek! I forgot to mail my liner notes with my CD!!
Can you email them to the recipient?
Ah. Good idea tommyrot. I shall do so when I get home. (I also included lyrics for the non-instrumental songs.)
Kay. Now I'm a little embarrassed that I thought Hec was talking about me when he said editor. And now even more hyperaware of my bad spelling and grammar, if that is possible.
Has anybody heard that mashup of Jay-Z's "Black Album" with the "White Album"? I read something on it, somewhere ...
Yup. It was in this week's issue of RS. It's called the Grey Album and it has Jay-Z spoken word over Beatles tracks. It was given the big thumbs up. Only available online - you can read more about it here.
eta: knew I was going to have to edit this one
That sounds damn cool.
Lyra, another good one is The Sunday's cover of "Wild Horses," which is my favorite cover of that song even though it's missing a verse.
