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.

Interesting Top Ten by Andrew Bird
I don't know Jazz Giants '56, but one of my first CDs was Pres and Teddy, which was recorded the day after JG56 & features the same rhythm section (the former is a septet, the latter a quartet.) It is indeed beautiful stuff & should be used to smack anyone who claims that Pres didn't have anything left in his later years.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
"Love Letters" is indeed a perfect song, albeit weird as humanly possible. Although it's ostensibly in Bb, it changes keys subtly several times without ever calling notice to itself.
Also, Greil Marcus has written at length about how great the Charlie Patton and Geechie Wiley songs are, but yeah, they're also perfect.

I finally sent my song to the gmail account.
I chose the Baseball Theme from A Boy Called Charlie Brown by Vince Guaraldi.
It was really hard to pick one song.

A Boy Named/Called Charlie Brown wasn't a documentary; it was an animated feature film. It's the one where CB goes to the national spelling bee.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Is there any other record quite like the 4 Seasons' version of "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"? Any other record quite so unself-consciously daffy in the same way?
(Note: I'm thinking about the one released under the name "Wonder Who.")

Not familiar with it. Know (and like) the song and the group, but not their version. What's it like? Trying to imagine it I find myself earwormed with "Lightnin' Strikes". (And you can be, too! C'mon, you know you want to!)
I fear the mp3s, but I love the cover: Love Conquers Alda. (Polly Holliday played Flo on Alice.)
Who is between Batman and Brian Wilson? Click on photo album and check out the Sinatra/Raquel Welch pic. "Ooh, Francis, is that a gun in your pocket or are you... nope, that's definitely a gun." Yeah, I know that's not his pocket, but it is a gun.

Who is between Batman and Brian Wilson?
Is this a serious question? If that's Brian Wilson two people clockwise from Batman, then between them is the Green Hornet.

Yeah. 13 out of 14 for the year before I was born ain't bad. "If that's Brian Wilson..." -- it's not Kelly Osbourne, Mr. Is this a serious question.
