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.

Punishingly Intricate

I'm in for the new mix too if there's room.

I'm going to pass on this round.

If anyone's interested, here are my reviews of the two Seattle U2 shows:

First show

Alicia, your descriptions really make me want to see them again, even though the one U2 concert I saw was a huge disappointment.

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

Tina and Lisa are in.

Sue, what concert was that?

It's was the second time around on the Zoo TV tour, in Vancouver. Unfortunately I got them when they were dripping in irony.

Heh. I actually liked them dripping in irony. I saw them in Madison, WI on the Zoo TV tour, but oddly enough, I hardly remember the show at all.

But when I go back and watch the concert videos from that tour, I LOVE it. The Zoo Sydney video is incredible.

Popmart was weird and their hearts didn't seem to be in it, and I think they knew they had to get back to basics with the Elevation tour. This one is pretty similar to that tour in terms of "back to basics," but it's got some cool light stuff.

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

Neil Gaiman seems to enjoy an interesting life. I need more life like this:

This morning I got up very early and went off to spend the morning in a cafe in Notting Hill with Damon and Jamie, talking Gorillaz, and the nature of story, and why an imaginary cartoon band can have more integrity than some flesh and blood ones, and all that sort of stuff (all while having our photo taken). Enormously pleasant -- I'd not met Damon before, and hadn't seen Jamie since we went to Berlin for the (first? second?) anniversary of the coming down of the Berlin Wall, about fifteen years ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

why an imaginary cartoon band can have more integrity than some flesh and blood ones,

This reminded me -- last night I was talking with some people about "embarassing" music we like, and I said something about Milli Vanilli being awesome, and my friend said, "They weren't even REAL!" But guess what? The music is still real.
