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.
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

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.

"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."

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.

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.

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

Please insert the sound of a derisive snort here.

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.

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.

We need to wait until this one is done, obviously. And then, I say we leave the Emmit Mix on there for a little while, even while we're doing the new one. 'Cause it's Gmail, and we have the space.

Oh no! I wish they had archived it- Glen is a great host, and I imagine he added as much to it as his guests. I caught it right at about the Big Star point. Or at least I remember them saying something about how Big Star was over once they were on some WB show soundtrack.
Yeah, they were kinda irritating.
