I didn't get that one! How is that possible. They never show that video either. Damn it.

Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's a beautiful song, and while it's always risky to equate artistry with moral goodness (said the Miles fan), there's such compassion and tenderness in it that I would find it difficult to believe that the writer is anything less than a fine human being.
Yeah, I feel the same way about Iris, and can get duly choked up listening to "My Life." I don't know if you know much about Greg Brown, but he has much the same background and they've both put out old time gospel type albums in the last couple years. JZ's a huge Greg Brown fan and I'm an Iris fan so it was a bit of kizmet when they got together. But yeah, I think she's happy nowadays. Though still overdue for a record of new stuff.

Happiness: I saw Built to Spill on Sat. and Doug is looking like Grizzly Adams and they were great, crowd was great. The opener was "Built to Spill" the encore was "Stop the Show" (they did not however play "Happiness"). Good times.
Sadness: I have never been one of those huge Weezer fans, never saw them live, didn't really like them in their Pinkerton heyday. But I love their first two albums and a song here or there from the third. No love for Maladroit, but I was going to be open minded about this new one. But, I think, even on the Pitchfork scale, a 0.4 means it stinks.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
So, um, is anyone going to put any songs up?

I can't do it from work, so y'all have to wait until this evening. But don't let that stop you. I can adapt to whatever #2 does.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Wow, I didn't realize "Fly Like An Eagle" had been sampled so much.
After "Funky Drummer" I wonder what the most sampled song is?
