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 generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Things I like about living overseas: the radio just played "Last Christmas" by George Michael, followed immediately by "Motherfucking P-I-M-P" (uncensored) by Fifty Cent.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Sounds like TripleJ ... excpet they'd never play Last Christmas by George Michael

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We get reviewed in the Jan issue of Magnet:
“Pop-culture zine Scram presents an anthology of bite-sized essays about obscure, overlooked and flat-out bizarre albums. As a Cliffs Notes of the outré, LOST IN THE GROOVES is a stone gas, placing genuine curiosities like CHEVROLET SINGS OF SAFE DRIVING AND YOU alongside jaw-droppers like Marvin Gaye’s 1978 divorce cycle HERE, MY DEAR. Now-mainstream oddities are avoided for less obvious ones; Lou Reed’s METAL MACHINE MUSIC isn’t here, but THE BELLS is. The result is like a midnight bull session with your inner, ADD-afflicted rock geek.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Damn, Hec. It's a shame you didn't have that last line as a cover quote. And THE BELLS review was one of the ones that really caught my attention (first Lou Reed album I bought, because it was supposedly "electornic" music according to some review, and I was going through a heavy synthesizer phase).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I was in Twisted Village yesterday after work, buying a few used CDs from asst. manager (and former WMBR DJ) Angela, when a guy I didn't know burst in.
"I found it!," he exclaimed. "It was $14."
"Great! Thanks!," Angela replied.
And he handed her a copy of LitG.
Of course, I pointed them to my sidebar. They were suitably impressed.

Jon, you were in my dream last night. You showed up at my Grandma's house for Christmas. (Followed by JZ and Hec.)
Don't ask me. I have a weird subconscious.

Is Twisted Village a record store, Jon? I've never heard of it, but I never knew all the ins and outs of all the stores on that side of the Charles.
Living/hanging in the Kenmore area in the mid-80s to 90s (and then moving across from In Your Ear), I really didn't have to go elsewhere unless I had a specific goal.

Thanks for inviting me, Steph. Even if it was only in your dreams.
Twisted Village is a record store in Harvard Square. They're also a label. They're owned by Wayne Rogers and Kate Village, guitarists for Crystalized Movements, Magic Hour (with Damon & Naomi), and Major Stars, amongst others.

Well, my Grandma was a kick-ass cook, so you probably had a good time.
