There was a fairly good, if short, article in today's Salt Lake Tribune about greatest hits albums. They mention Talking Heads, Hank Williams, Meat Puppets, and Prince in one article. Pretty impressive.

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 feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have a question for the Johnny Cash fans out there-- what's a good "starter" album to give someone who likes the little he's heard of Cash?

His last one would actually be a good place to start, because Hurt is so fantastic and representative. Or, you could just go with a Greatest Hits - lord knows, there are an awful lot of them.

Depends if you want late magisterial Cash - in which case any of the American albums would work - or early Man in Black cash - in which case start with Live at San Quentin, perhaps the greatest live album ever recorded.

The British have better headlines and better contrived reality shows than we do: Rebecca Loos wanks off pig on British TV. And just in case you're worried, the official ruling is that she 'did not degrade pig'.
Oh, yeah... music board. Check. I saw Brian & Leon Dewan last night & thought this would interest Jon.

Fun Joe! Thanks. Although I hope that their claim, "They make all previous and future synthesizer equipment obsolete" is said with tongue firmly in cheek.
Hey Hey Hayden! Guess what I dropped in the mail today? Four Buffista mixes and an extra surprise bonus to thank you for your patience.

I think it's meant in the same spirit as, "The last word in rock: Zither!" Anyone who builds a two-person synthesizer called a "Dual Primate Console" that includes a rotary phone dial for each primate isn't a prime candidate for Rumsfeldian flights of grandiosity. Dewan, however, does occasionally achieve total heaviosity.

Hec, I know I still need to get you an e-mail. Been having a not very great week and a half, but I will get to it.
