Another Milli Vanilli fan?
I thought the music was great fun, cotton-candy pop. And, well, I didn't see their videos all that much.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I listened to the new New Order disc last night, Waiting for the Siren's Call. I was intending it to be crash music, because even Substance works as crash music for me.
No such luck - it was too astonishingly good. Just one track after another of really compelling stuff. Unmistakebly New Order (except for the penultimate track on the US disc, "Working Overtime", which is a straight up rock song - and also really good) and except for one or two less-than-fully-compelling tracks (most noticeably, the title track), there's not a bad song on it, and at least three or four (including the rocker) that I'd throw on a mix in a nano-second.
I'm almost afraid to listen to it again, since I've had some albums that I thought were amazing not hold up under repeat listening, but I don't think that's going to happen with this.
I need to pull out their last album, Get Ready, which I also thought was stellar (it stayed in my CD player for a couple of months without being switched out for anything else) and see how it compares.
In short, yeah, I really, really liked it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The thing that pissed people off about Milli Vanilli at the time was that they took themselves way too seriously.
"Musically, we are more talented than any Bob Dylan," announces Robert Pilatus, 24, with very little prodding. "Musically, we are more talented than Paul McCartney. Mick Jagger, his lines are not clear. He don't know how he should produce a sound. I'm the new modern rock 'n' roll. I'm the new Elvis." His (often silent) partner, Fabrice Morvan, 23, has his own key to success: "Rhythm, you know."
They more or less brought on the backlash themselves.

From Milli Vanilli to New Order.
The breadth of the Buffistas is astounding.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, definitely. It's just that since it's 15 years later, I don't care anymore. And anyway, you've got to blame it on something!

I say either "the bossa nova" or "Cain", myself. That way I don't have to listen to any Milli Vanilli.

Frank, you could also blame it on the boogie.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I blame it on my youth. (Surely someone here will get that musical reference.)
Another Milli Vanilli fan?
I have been a Milli Vanilli fan since their glory days (or, perhaps, glory day).

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I didn't think they had a sense of humour but this is hysterical.
