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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I disremember where the line of demarcation is for the sides, b/c I've had it on CD for 15 years.

You flip it after "I Want You (She's So Heavy)".

I look more rad than Lutheranism

You flip it after "I Want You (She's So Heavy)".

Seriously? That seems too soon to flip it. But, like I said, I have the CD, so I'm taking your statement on faith.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Where are you spending the rest of your snobbery?

you know general stuff. How to act, agreeing with me, having general knowledge, not being stupid, inner strength, victimitis.

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

although I do like to go "Numbrrr 9, numbrrr 9, numbrrr 9")

Dude, the BF and can't hear the phrase "Number nine" without doing that, which is followed by one or the other of us piping up with "And we shall become naked." Luckily, we don't so this sort of thing in public, orour friends would hate us.

Yep. I haven't played my vinyl copy in years, but I seem to remember that there's a lock groove after "Her Majesty," too.

(The way it always plays in my head is "Someday I'm gonna make her mine." Bomp. Pause. Fffft. "Someday I'm gonna make her mine." Bomp. Pause. Fffft. "Someday I'm gonna"... You get the picture.)

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

Where's boucher? He can make an excellent iconoclastic rock snob case for one of the American editions over the British one from the Beatles mid-period.

The inclusion of "I've Just Seen a Face" -- which tempts me to recant every nasty thing I've ever said about Paul -- and the deletion of "Nowhere Man" make the American version of Rubber Soul better than the UK version. I like "Drive My Car" a lot, but I'm willing to let it go because "I've Just Seen a Face" fits the sound and tone of the album -- as the lead track sets, along with the second song "Norwegian Wood," the tone and sound of the album -- much better, culminating in Lennon combining the beauty and wistfulness of the former with the regret and sadness of the latter in the album's high point, "In My Life".

Is that the case you were talking about?

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

Is that the case you were talking about?

I think so. In most instances I do agree with the orthodox preference for the British sequencing, but I do think your case has merit.

I wish more bands were influenced by the early Beatles than later Beatles.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You flip it after "I Want You (She's So Heavy)".

Yup. "Here Comes the Sun" is the first song of side 2.

Yep. I haven't played my vinyl copy in years, but I seem to remember that there's a lock groove after "Her Majesty," too.

Maybe on your copy. Not mine.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

To be fair, though, I feel like I've internalized the Beatles to the extent that I hardly ever listen to them.

This is how I feel about them, which is why when I listen to them these days, it's usually the earlier stuff.

My fave, despite being a really nasty song (or maybe that's a because), is "Run For Your Life".

Does anyone know who the guy is in the Yes "Owner of a Lonely Heart" video is? I have NO REASON to need this information, other than having the song come up on Launchcast, and suddenly idly wondering.
