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.
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.
Now playing: Blues for Pablo.
A full 1 GB of that (134 songs) is Miles Davis.
Just think of all the jazz geeks you could seduce with that kind of factoid.
Incidentally, check in with IM later tonight and I'll try to send you the last of that Jazz et Cinema collection. Do you like it so far?

I have 33.88 GB of music, 6988 songs. A full 2.4 MB is the song "Miles Davis' Funeral" by Morphine.
Hmmm. I have one or two Miles Davis CDs - time to add to iTunes.

You'd think, but no; I share my bed with about 30 comic books and a battered stuffed gorilla.

I'm loving it! But, alas, I'm going to bed in about 10 minutes. It's getting on towards bedtime here, and I am plum tuckered out.
It's a Miles Davis race.
I can't remember how many GB I've got on iTunes, but it did say 17 Days the last time I remember.
but it did say 17 Days the last time I remember.
Mine says 19.2 days. I'm thinking I'm gonna need a 60 GB iPod sometime in the next six months.
Oh, the Miles album I have is
Bitches Brew.
I have three CDs of that - aren't there four?
My Miles Davis = 11.5 hours' worth. Right now, no other artist comes close to my Miles tally.
Now I'm curious - I wonder if there's an AppleScript that can tell me what my top artists are....
Just off the top of my head, my top artists would include Dylan, Beck, Robyn Hitchcock, Camper Van Beethoven, Bowie, Elvis Costello, Kristen Hersh, Luna, Phillip Glass, R.E.M....
I think I have about 24 Bowie albums, but most I only have them on LP.
eta: 7 hours of Dylan. That's probably about my top....
