She's not just a blob of energy, she's also a 14-year-old hormone bomb.

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.

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

No. You guys will not make this into a "thing"! I am sorry. We have our limits.

If everyone listened to Erin on the ray-dee-oh (or the virtual radio) like they're supposed to, "that's the cap sauce" would be sweeping the nation. Instead, to quote my hero Mojo Nixon, discombobulation is a-sweepin' the nation, or at least the b.org music board, and I apologize for the confusion. But a kibosh on in-jokes & arcane references? Yeah, right. I'll be in my a-dorm listening to King Crimson (Red) & Joni Mitchell (Blue) and trying to book up with one of my dormmates if anyone needs me. (Btw, I'll be reading Nuala O'Foalain's -- Noola O'Fwaylahn -- memoir.)

Your profile addy good?

Infrequently checked, and stuck with dial-up at home, but yep.

Scissor Sisters covering Franz Ferdinand?

No kidding. I'm a little boggled at that, in a good way.

One in each channel for maximum confusion, right?

Thanks for the link to Erin on the radio. On a side note, one of the music geeks was talking about a great book he'd started reading the other day called Weird and Wonderful Words.

Hey, Joe, if you talk to the MC, could you ask her to call my cell?

The Scissors Sisters also do a great cover of "Comfortably Numb" as a dance tune, by the way.

Sure, Misha. We're supposed to get together tonight, but we haven't made specific plans. Want to join us?

"Comfortably Numb"

Many years ago, 1993 I think, I saw Tom Jones on VH-1 doing a cover of "Purple Rain," featuring David Gilmour on guitar. When he played the solo he sounded like Prince, but he also was unmistakably the guy who had played "Comfortably Numb." I wasn't a big Pink Floyd fan even back in the day (though I do have fond memories of Mr. Carlson asking Johnny Fever, who was playing Animals, "Do I hear dogs?" "I do," responded the bemused deejay), but I've always loved Gilmour.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

The Scissor Sisters wrote Kylie's ace new single "I Believe In You", which I actually prefer to any of their own stuff.

What Angus said.

Check your e-mail, Joe.

My sister was a huge Floyd fan, so of course I could take them or leave them. But I do like "Comfortably Numb," both in the original and the Scissors mix.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

I just checked out that Kylie song, and it's awesome. Is it from an upcoming album, or just a one-off single?

It's the single release from her new two-disc greatest hits album.
