Any Tori Amos fans- I stumbled on a pre-release from her next album that got added to the iTunes store today. Is good.

'Lessons'
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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That cover rocks. So funny.
I'm unsure why, but it makes me think of a parody of Six Pence None The Richer doing "There She Goes" and I laugh like a loon.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Hey, cool, I didn't know she had a new one coming out.
I made a fun mix last night of South African music, for the dual purpose of sending to Angus and giving to a friend for a belated Christmas present. Angus, it should go out tomorrow along with my Buffista mix CD. If anyone else wants a copy, let me know. (I don't have it with me or I'd post the setlist: some Miriam Makeba, a few tracks from the Indestructible Beat of Soweto album and the Radio Freedom album, Hugh Masekela, Brenda Fassie, a couple of big-chorus gospel songs, etc.)

I can't even.
Any Juluka/Savuka, Kate? Or Ladysmith Black Mambazo?

I didn't either, so I toddled over to Amazon to check. The album is The Beekeeper , due Feb. 22nd, and the track is called Sleeps with Butterflies.

Nope and nope. I don't have any Juluka/Savuka, and I do have LBM, but I figure that's usually the first thing people know about South African music, and I wanted this mix to skew a little more towards the relatively-unknown (er, you know, apart from the Hugh Masekela and the Miriam Makeba...).

Hee. I learned about LBM, Hugh and Miriam all from the same place, Paul Simon's Graceland tour. People will say what they will about him, but that tour/album did make people much more aware of South African music at the time. Johnny Clegg and crew(s) I knew previously from my sister's year in RSA.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
Thanks for the Tori Amos heads-up! I'll have to check that out. "Scarlet's Walk" didn't thrill me, but I always look forward to something new from her.
Also heard this morning that the new Garbage CD is coming out in April. Huzzah!

Indeed. I'll raise your "huzzah!" and give you a "woot!"
