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.

Ooh, 7.8 hours of Wilco - we have a new leader....

Counting Bragg/Wilco, though.

On iTunes, about 15 different artists have songs called "Summer Wind."

Also, who did the song "Where Do Words Go?"? iTunes said it's by Various Artists, but I have my doubts....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We are listening to a CD by a German duo called Stereo Total which the BF is reviewing. I'm kinda digging it. It's a man and a woman with a sorta punk Serge Gainsbourg vibe.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

I really like what I've heard by Stereo Total. They do a really funny cover of "Get Down Tonight" ...

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Oh yeah, they're fun. I played "Vive Le Week-End" from the new one a few week ago.

And Buffistas introduce me to another cool band....

Check out their cover of Salt-n-Pepper's "Push It". Sadly, it's only 59 seconds long.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Is there a website out there where you can bash opening acts? If not, maybe I should start one. I went to see Denice Franke tonight (excellent singer-songwriter; toured with Nanci Griffith for years). The opening act made my ears bleed. Among other things, she broke what I think of as the first commandment for a singer-songwriter: never write a song out of your range. I was good; I just whimpered inaudibly and thought about throwing french fries.

I thought they were more of a French band. I'm probably wrong. I second tommy's rec of their Salt N' Peppa cover. I've got some of their videos on DVD too, and they're cool.

Up with the sun

The worst opening act I ever heard opened for the Decemberists on their second D.C. show. I have blocked the gentleman's name, but I remember an accordian and yowling. I escaped to the bar pretty quickly.

And I had 5,946 songs and 15.5 days of music on my iTunes as of two weeks ago, but I've since added two albums, so ... 5,970 songs or so total? There are 4440 on my iPod. Top artist is probably U2 (huge surprise).

Hec, they're a Berlin band, but the female half of the duo is French. She's lived in Germany since the '80s.
