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'm behind on mailing stuff but slowly catching up.
Glad to hear the Pixies sounded good on ACL. Also glad to hear that Jon's thing is of the good.
OK, got too much work for dilliage or dalliage.
Emmett in the car this morning: "Turn it up! C'mon, it's Prince!"
Emmett's second CD burn? All Prince, all the time.

Not "Pussy Control," je hope.

No, he didn't select that one. I don't think he has that sense of the word "pussy" anyway. But he did seem pleased with "Housequake" which has (by his standards) three cuss words: "Shut up!" "Damn!" and "Bullshit."
The rule is that I don't censor music, but Emmett doesn't get to use certain words. I don't care that much if he hears "bullshit."
Huh. Now playing: "You Can Count On Me" - Sammy Davis Jr.
This is the Hawaii Five-O Theme, sung with lyrics.
Are the Ventures playing back up?

No, it's more of big Hollywood band thing.
Same site has a download of the Kane Triplets singing "The Mission Impossible Theme" (with lyrics, not just scatting it). I should put those two with Sarah Vaughan singing the Peter Gunn theme (again with lyrics).
I have mixes that need to go in the mail to Jon. I've been frantically busy these past couple weeks, but I'll do my best to get them out soon. I'd prefer to listen to them before sending them on--that way I get to write notes in the liner notes!--but at this point, it seems best just to copy them and send them on, and listen later when I have time to appreciate them. Sorry for the holdup.
Happy Mardi Gras, y'all! Laissez les bon temps roulez!
Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS presents the Broadway Bears 8 Auction. Why am I putting it here? Because of all the Hedwig fans who frequent the joint. (NB: unless you're independently wealthy or completely insane prepare for a letdown if you're thinking of making a pre-auction bid.)
Not all tribute bands are created equal. Not for the faint of heart: Nudist Priest. From the article: "Original Priest vocalist Rob Halford asked Spin magazine in June, 'What was the singer like and how big was his unit?'"
