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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Knee-deep in the mocha/making coffee right
So many partners/working late at night
We just want to build here--IMDS, does it pass?
We call on development to complete the task!
Living the way of being,
In the Green Apron Book!
Don't you remember?
We built this Starbucks on heart and soul!
This makes me want to kill myself. God only knows what would happen if I worked there and heard this....

Angus - I now have the official M.I.A. album if you want to swap...

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
That Starbucks song only makes sense if you work there, and even still, it's just annoying.
Oh, and ... is the M.I.A. CD out officially now? I was told there was a delay of who knows how long. Was I misinformed?

the whole M.I.A. discourse is fascinating; in some ways more so than the record, though the record is ace. she's clearly epically full of shit on about 100 levels, but I don't think she's any more full of shit than Joe Strummer or Chuck D. The ilm thread Christgau links to is awesome, and well worth reading - one of those moments which show why messageboards are a great idea.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Made an Amoeba run last night on the way to the Zam Zam for martinis with JZ. Picked up:
The Jobriath collection put out by Morrissey's own private label. Rare 70s glam. There are some free mp3s at the this website.
The Cheapo Crypt Sampler #2, inspired by Agony Shorthand's blog, which runs down a lot of 90s garage rock. Bands like The Oblivions and Gories and such that I'd missed.
The Vashti Bunyan reissue which has been cited in all the neo freak folk articles. Note the Fairport alumni.
And to bolster my rock and roll, collections of The Undertones (the OOP Ryko Very Best Of), Dramarama and 70s power poppers Blue Ash.
I've got the Undertones on vinyl, but needed something to shoot into iTunes. As much as I love their early rockers, I'm also a big fan of their later dreamier fare like "It's Going To Happen" and "Julie Ocean."

Bicyclops rules my universe. He ever-so-thoughtfully figured out how to make a copy of the latest Diana Krall CD that will transfer onto my iPod. And then sent me a copy!
You made my day. Thank you so much! :-)

Teppy's iTunes Factoid O' the Night:
I have 7 GB of music on my iTunes right now (1,395 songs).
A full 1 GB of that (134 songs) is Miles Davis.
