"Rio-baiting" sounds much dirtier than it actually is.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

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.

Rio-baiting is the cap sauce!

Lost in the Grooves got mentioned on Soundcheck. (It isn't archived yet, but should be later today or tomorrow.) They did a show on guilty pleasures and the last caller started talking about the book. I didn't catch his name, so I don't know if it was one of the local contributors pimping it; if so he didn't mention his connection. His guilty pleasure was "Ballroom Blitz," which Anthony DeCurtis & Richard Barone agreed was great but didn't think really fit into the guilty pleasure category. Richard Barone said he used to use it to get bands psyched up when he was producing.
Glad you like the mix, Hayden, and I apologize in advance to the world for any evil plots the CD causes you to hatch.

Hec, my brother LOVES your book. LOOOOOOVES. I cannot stress that enough. He said something along the lines of "Finally! A book for geeks like me!"

Barone is a huge glam fan - covering Bowie and T.Rex and others during his career.

I really need to meet him. When's he coming to SF?

Um. Good question. He said that if I move there, he'll drive my U-Haul out there for me.

Ah, c'mon. If "Ballroom Blitz" isn't a guilty pleasure, I don't know what is. That may be the only song I like that embarrasses the living hell out me every single time.

Dude, do I need to cite Susan Sontag's Against Interpretation at you?
If if it gives you pleasure, then why the guilt? Puritans think thus. ::kicks porn tapes under the couch out of sight::
Besides it's no more or less goofy than any of the other brilliant ChinniChap productions. And if they weren't around to inspire Bowie to create a faux-popstar in Ziggy, then we'd be missing out on a really good songbook.
"Ready Steve?"
"Uh huh."

I wish they'd turn that commercial where they throw bowling balls & bbq's out of the back of a couple semis at whatever cars they're trying to sell into a video. I'd just keep watching it over and over. And feel no guilt about it whatsoever.
