So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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.

Is that cool?

Cool with me.

I got no Annette, Jim.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Okay, #17 is "Talking Softball," from the Simpsons Soundtrack.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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."

From Natter:

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I have no idea how I posted this in Beep Me. But from yesterday-

There was just a show on our local NPR station- Glenn Mitchell- that was about rock snobery. You should see if you can get it from the site. I didn't get to hear a whole lot of it, I caught that Richard Thompson is overrated, and the BeeGees Odessa is unlistenable but awesome in its unlistenableness.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

By the way, I really enjoy the way this G-Mail disc is working. Can I run the next one?

Richard Thompson is overrated

Please insert the sound of a derisive snort here.

the BeeGees Odessa is unlistenable but awesome in its unlistenableness.

That's sort of my position on Jandek, except I'd switch "unlistenable" and "awesome" around.

Can I run the next one?

You're in charge, G.

There was just a show on our local NPR station- Glenn Mitchell- that was about rock snobery.

Great playlist, but it doesn't seem to be archived. The same guys were just on the Brian Lehrer show, and the audio should be available some time this afternoon. Only caught bits of it since, miracle of miracles, I was actually doing my job. The not-paying-much-attention verdict: they were kind of irritating, but I'll listen again later. Like the one guy's accent.
