Oooh! I have a fun short one (1:30) that fits the theme!

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.
Send it! I sent an alternate, but I have a short one, too.
Okay -- I'm going to number it as 17, since tommyrot is the last, at 16. Is that cool?
As I said on gmail, if anyone has The Monkey's Uncle by Annette Funnicello, can they add that cos it was my first choice.
Is that cool?
Cool with me.
I got no Annette, Jim.
Okay, #17 is "Talking Softball," from the Simpsons Soundtrack.
perhaps we could use some of the alternates people sent or go around again with short songs.
I've got some good (short) alternatives I could toss in.
So yesterday, I came home from the commute and found a padded envelope with an unmarked VHS tape in it.
I thought....free porn? The beginning of a Japanese horror movie?
But no, it is the Chic-A-Go-Go episode featuring the Lost In The Grooves reading at Quimby's. So now I have my interview with Ratso, the punk rock puppet on video forevermore.
I haven't seen myself talking on video in a while, and let me tell you it is a very odd experience watching yourself on video and thinking, "I remind me of somebody but I don't know who."
Scott Miller, Free Show, Saturday, April 30 at 9pm, two very special performers will be playing their Lost in the Grooves music. Scott Miller led the legendary pop outfits Game Theory and The Loud Family, and is Aimee Mann's favorite songwriter. He'll be doing a solo set focusing on the two albums featured in the book, Game Theory's “Real Nighttime” and The Loud Family's “Interbabe Concern.” Also on the bill is Savage Republic / 17 Pygmies guitarist Jackson Del Rey, playing classic Savage Republic songs for the first time in more than a decade. This show is at The Rite Spot Café, 2099 Folsom St., San Francisco, CA 94110, phone: 415-552-6066.
Fuckin' awesome.

Steph L: I gotta stop listening to the Pixies and go to bed, damn it.
Did you see them on ACL? They kept showing the drummer from the Kinks cover project I played in last year, who was one of the few people looking like he was enjoying himself without being too dorky about it. Apparently, his new graphic design firm did the flyer for the show, so they were guest-listed.
