but zydeco without an accordion just doesn't compute pour moi.
It's like a muffaletta without olives!
Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

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.

Hee!
Thanks for the WWOZ link- I'll look through it. It looks like some guy named Doug acutally knows how to put together a mix of La. music that's not all contemporary country, so I'll be downloading that when I get home, and then going through your link, and cherry picking artists to download. This is going to make me homesick.
In other (Devil) music news: [link] Between this and my friends who forward me stuff asking for my help to find missing kids, I'm beginning to think that buffistas are the only ones who can get to snopes. Are school board members on one of the internets without it?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
AMG's take on the difference between Cajun & zydeco.
I thought the main difference is that cajun musicians stand up and zydeco musicians hang from the ceiling.
Nope. Never going to get tired of that joke, am I?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Not because he is rich or whatever but because he just wasn't as respectful as he could have been to the people he was telling to think harder.
Gotcha. Not to get into defending him too much, but I don't think he's really trying to reach the masses. I think he's trying now (what with the glib answers and all) to be a talking head a la Eric Alterman.
He didn't speak about it at length, but reported the popular impression of what it was about as true. With basic research he could have corrected the false impression he left.
I see things like this all the freakin' time. Always disappointing.

Better magazines in the same general vein as the Baffler, off the top of my head:
N+1
The Oxford American
I also have an only occasionally defensible love for The Believer as well, which has gone downhill since a brilliant first ten or so issues.

We did a piss poor job of hooking up while you were in town and consequently I couldn't give you a burn of the Iris Dement covers that interested you.
So I just posted them at Buffistarawk.
Available to anybody who likes Iris.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
For the unconventional love song mix, I nominate All I Ever Knew by +/-. I friggin' love that song.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Random note: Months and months and months ago, someone mentioned the Snake River Conspiracy cover of "How Soon Is Now?"
I have finally heard it, and it fucking rocks.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Yes, PC, it does. It really does. Have you seen the video for it? And, have you heard their cover of The Cure's Love Song? Brilliant.
Too bad that Tobey Torres has left the band.
