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.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

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.
