Love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I found the pretty version (with an excellent Wings photo!): [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.

Ah, now Wings. I saw them on an old Flip Wilson rerun last weekend, performing (I kid you not!) "Mary Had a Little Lamb."

I can't say I liked it, but it was far better than it had any right to be.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

John Cale’s Paris 1919

Ah! Thank you for reminding me that I need to buy that track from iTunes tonight. (I *wish* I could get a copy of the cover version Trio Nocturna performed live, but they never recorded it.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Carp.

Now I can't open Safari for some reason.

Anyone have the link to the page of links to the music exchange CD's? If not, no biggie - I can just threadsuck again....

eta: Nebbermind. I had emailed it to myself....

Gah. Before I ripped erinacous's CD I typed all the song and artist names in. Now I discover that the songs were actually in a completely different order than on her webpage. I don't know yet if I screwed up while ripping it (iTunes ripped in random order?), or if the CD I got had the songs all in the wrong order....

Still, it's kinda' fun, listening to a song and picking a likely song name and band from a list....

eta: OK, I'm gonna need some help figuring out some of these songs.

First: Do you suppose the song "The Robot With the Accordion" has something that sounds like an accordion, and something that might be a robot?

eta²: OK, these are the ones I can't figure out. All but one (eta: or 2) are instrumentals.

Song - Artist
Pink Mood - Tipsy
Losing Myself Too - John Cunningham
VTQ From the Block - The Voodoo Trombone Quartet
16/20 - JuJu Club

Can someone tell me what these songs sound like? OK, it would probably be easier if someone could tell me how long each of these songs are.....

Also, "In the Street" by Alex Chilton is missing from the CD....

eta³: OK, using iTunes I've narrowed the unknown songs down to two.

McCartney II gets a namecheck in LitG! I love that album. I ended up with a copy as a kid somehow, but for some reason gave the LP to a friend a few years later. I'm still not exactly sure why. Thanks for reminding me that I've been meaning to get my hands on a copy.

Kate--yes I did get your CDs thanks!

Which reminds me that I'm meant to be getting my 2004 compilations out--sorry, I'll do that before 2004 is too distant a memory.

(Or maybe I'll be just in time for the 2004 revival!)

LitG made me decide to buy that album. When I was in Jr. High, my favorite AOR station played "Temporary Secretary" once. I thought it was the coolest song. Several years later I looked it up and was surprised to see McCartney had done it. So all these year I've been meaning to get a copy, and LitG is what made me decided I need it now. (Or in a few days, as iTunes doens't have it.)

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

Cool, I'm looking forward to it. I've just received your Buffista Mix from Alicia, so you don't need to include that in the package.

Neither you nor iTunes screwed up. I sent you the same copy I got, which had the songs out of order. I should have let you know that. I blame Christmas.

eta³: OK, using iTunes I've narrowed the unknown songs down to two.

Can you send me the CD track list when you get it all figured out?

In related news, the copy of your mix that I got has the tracks out of order as well. I haven't completely figured that one out yet either.

msbelle's mix did have the right track order. I typed in the artists and titles and submitted it to freedb. Unfortunately, I accidentally submitted the CD title as A Deeply Practical Person, which is the title of erinaceous' mix, not msbelle's.
