'Harm's Way'


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.

Are you ready to be strong?

Most American publications don't cap "the" in those kinds of cases. Like the White Stripes, the New York Times, etc.

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

Stephanie--it's a famous Hawaiian singer whose name I can't spell. [link]

He died a couple of years ago, but made some amazing music. The bit you like is from "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My boyfriend has that CD!

Man, if your fiancé finds out you've got a boyfriend, he's so gonna kick his ass.

Anybody else heard it yet? I've heard Antony compared to both Jeff Buckley and Nina Simone. Mostly I'm hearing the Nina Simone stylings, if she was a gay white boy with a great voice.

Yeah, I've been listening a lot. I agree about Nina, but the biggest influence I hear is Lou Reed; almost every song has one of those bom bom bom piano builds, and if croaked by a smack addict could fit perfectly on Berlin . The shock of the album, for me, is Boy George's contribution; I haven't heard him sound that good since The Crying Game.

Trust my rage

Thanks so much, Robin! The hivemind is an amazing thing, especially when it turns out that the singer is a man and the song I was thinking of does have words.

Up with the sun

Jon, I didn't seee it as snarky, so no worries.

Mostly it's just that the name didn't mean anything to me until I read that she was in that dog., which I only found out this week.

Ha. I still have a hard time saying FIANCÉ. He's like somewhere between boyfriend and fiancé still; I call him my Beyoncé.
