Huh. Now playing: "You Can Count On Me" - Sammy Davis Jr.
This is the Hawaii Five-O Theme, sung with lyrics.
Good luck. Try not to kill people. Hands! Hands!

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
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?'"

I'm not sure if it was my post in general or the Nudist Priest pic that killed the thread, but I'll try to atone by reviving it: the Village Voice's 31st (or 32nd) Annual Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll is out.
Plenty of fodder for discussion there. The online version is fun because you can click on an album and see which critics voted for it, and you can click on each critic to see his/her whole list.
From the Personals (of Pazz & Jop, not the Voice dating section): "46-year-old recovering daily pop critic living free in Park Slope, the Land of Soy Milk and Honey, where I've somehow missed most of the year's blog-approved musical phenomena. At least now I know what to tell people to get me for my birthday. Still, if I'm honest about what I spent the most time listening to, it's there in boldface: Jazz Geek, with a side of Country Ham." -- Steve Dollar. Save age, profession & style of writing, I appear to be the same person. Bummer.

Jazz Geek, with a side of Country Ham should probably be a tagline sometime this year.

Out of their top 40 albums, I own one. I hardly bought any music this year.

Huh. Smile came in at #2. Cool. And Loretta Lynn at #3.

Which one? The Elliott Smith? I think you might like the Joanna Newsom.
Jen, they've got Nick Cave at #25. Mojo also rated it an instant classic. What did you hate about it?
Angus will like this lineup, I think. The Streets, Dizzee Rascal and Scissor Sisters are all in the top 40.

Bjork, Medulla. I did go through several more pages (up into the 400s or 500s) and came up with a total of 7. What's Joanna Newsom like?
There are a bunch on there that I wanted to buy, though. My coworker is going to lend me the Fiery Furnaces CD.
