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.

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."

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?

On a sad note, the great Percy Heath died last week.
ETA: I don't know why the board was opposed to the rest of that post, but five re-tries is enough. I'm giving up.

The board is in mourning.

Emusic.com now has a couple Old 97's albums. Okay, Dr. T, it's time to earn your money: Early Tracks or Wreck Your Life? Or both?
Corwood, glad you like my tagline. HH's column usually bugs the crap outta me ("Then why do you always read it?" Shut up, Mom!), but this one was good. Reminds me of my favorite line from Full Metal Jacket: "You had best un-fuck yourself!" For those of you who don't read the excellent blog by our blue friend from the red state, here's Corwood on Deadwood.
ETA: Make sure to poke around the blog. You don't want to miss the pics of Lil' Jandek or the 50 books feature. And Mrs. Corwood's entry was worth reading even if I'm still freaked out by it a couple days later.
