Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

Closed Threads

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."

I'lll add Neil Sedaka to the Brill Building discussion. I'm not sure if he meets the technical requirements,

Yep. His songwriting partner was...hmmm, Howie Greenfield, I think. Burt Bacharach and Hal David are often lumped in with the Brill Building scene, and they weren't so much. And when I say "scene" I'm including the building on 1650 Broadway which was across from the actual Brill Building. I'm also a big fan of Leiber & Stoller and Doc Pomus - though they wrote more R&B and less girl group and teen idol pop.

Was Dawn the one from California?

Yes.

Woo and, may I add, a big friggin' HOO! (The "valuable" thing about doing a lot of xwords is that I now know that that construction is an example of tmesis.) I love early Stones and that's fun. Blow, Brian, blow!

Thanks for the link, Jim. Lots of fun stuff: the Hi house band (I'm earwormed w/ "Love and Happiness"); songwriters we were talking about yesterday: Barry/Greenwich ("River Deep, Mountain High") and Leiber/Stoller (the hoyay of "Jailhouse Rock": "Number 47 said to number 3/You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see/I sure would be delighted with your company"); an mp3 blog ripped from Hec's psyche -- do blogs date? can't we fix these kids up?; and the line "5 billion years is plenty of time for a re-issue."

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

Heh. A friend of mine gave me a disc he burned of a bunch of Steely Dan rareities/bootleg items, including their Schlitz commercial from the 70s.

When you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer...

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

There was a time when Schlitz was the second best selling beer in the US (after Bud). Does it even exist as a brand anymore?

I know it did a few years (typed "beers" at least twice - heh) ago, because they served it as one of the swill options at Redbones and a friend of mine got one just for the hell of it.

We decided that even if you weren't out of Schlitz, you were out of beer. We're talking serious canoe beer.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I suggested Tmesis as a band name once, but we decided that it was too diffi-fuckin-cult for people (not to mention a terrible band name, too).

So, does anyone else think of Kool and the Gang when the word "Schlitz" pops up?
