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.

You know Betsy, there may be a price to pay for this.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hola, Chicagoistas, Lynda Barry immortalizes the band and bar that Knut and I saw when I visited: The Wooden Leg playing at The Hideout.
That's Kelly Hogan singing up front.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I forgot to mention one of the bizarre highlights of the book reading at Moe's on Monday.
Alec Palao brought along some rarities from his collection (including Wayne Newton doing a perfect mid-sixties Beach Boys style song, and a hard rocking psych fuzz guitar Randy Newman single). He played a Pat Boone album for us where Pat covered "Song To the Siren."
It opens with seafaring sound effects and then Pat yelps, "Yo ho ho!" to get the song started.
Most misguided, misunderstood cover version ever.

No. No words. Other than deeply, deeply wrong.

It was jaw-dropping really. Like...like...Britney Spears covering "Strange Fruit" and opening it with a giggle.

t not really about music sorry
So. I finished reading my first Jonathon Lethem novel, Fortress of Solitude, on my train ride home from work tonight and started googling madly when I got home cause I was all obsessed with him and stuff. Then I thought - I'll use that handy new search function at the bottom of the screen and search Literary to see what the buffistas have to say...and a post by mr. joe boucher leads me to this Essay on Lethem by Hayden in Vol.I of Hight Hat that sums up exactly how I feel at the moment. Nice!
t /not about music sorry
Music? That book def. made me want to invest in a decent selection of 70s R&B and funk. And possibly start a graffiti habit.
