I love that sample page - I wish it played the samples. bookmarked.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

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."
Okay, my unusual love songs are loading up now. They should be in the Sent folder.
I threw in three alternates 'cuz I'm generous that way.

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

More like a wishy washy inability to just settle on one.

It'll be tomorrow for me. The mp3 I have of my song isn't great, and I need to figure out where the CD is to re-rip it.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine
Hec's liner notes for one of his alternates:
"My Lady Story" - Antony & the Johnsons. Reminds me here of both Van Morrison & Nina Simone and...I don't know. A castrati Jeff Buckley? But beautiful. Yes, that.
I'd say the love child of Aaron Neville and Bryan Ferry. With a touch of Prince. And the more I listen I think of Donovan and Nick Drake. Where's he from? I get Van more from the music, esp. the flute or recorder or whatever that is. Had to look up the lyrics to follow what he was singing, and yep, it's pretty weird.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
No water breakage yet, I'm afraid. and My Lady Story is great, but slightly to catchy; more than one friend has found himself singing "My lady's story is one of breast amputation..." on the bus...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'd say the love child of Aaron Neville and Bryan Ferry.
Yeah, I can see that. It's the vibrato. The tremble in the voice.
With a touch of Prince.
When Prince sings falsetto?
And the more I listen I think of Donovan and Nick Drake.
That's a little more folky than I'd peg him, but Donovan does have that warble.
Where's he from?
NYC. Though I don't think he grew up there.
I get Van more from the music, esp. the flute or recorder or whatever that is.
That's actually what I was referring to, which is specific to this cut.
and My Lady Story is great, but slightly to catchy; more than one friend has found himself singing "My lady's story is one of breast amputation..." on the bus...
Yeah, me too. The more I listen to this record the more I'm drawn into it. I actually find the famous guest musicians an unnecessary distraction.
