'Out Of Gas'


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.

Michele, did I see you in a bar in Brooklyn on Tuesday night? I feel guilty for not talking to you, if it was you.

Amazingly, yes, you did, if it was a bar on Atlantic Avenue. I was there with a bunch of co-workers and some other people I didn't know, since a co-worker's visiting sister was having a birthday. So, no foul! I'm looking forward to seeing you sometime this summer as I'm being a little less hibernate-y, though.

Was that originally an official release of some sort?

Yeah -- Come, Come To The Sunset Tree was a vinyl-only, hand-illustrated release for sale at shows. May still be available on the west coast part of the tour, for all I know. (I missed the NY dates for work, so don't think I haven't asked myself if it would be too extreme to go to SF for the dates there. The answer is yes, it would, but it was worth asking.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Why, Paul? Why?

I can't even.

Why, Paul? Why?

An entry in the most inappropriate and craziest songlist ever contest? Okay, I got nothing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. I've already got swing/orchestral versions of several of those since swing covers of heavy metal hits was in vogue during the neo swing era. Plus also Pat Boone's heavy metal/swing album.

The best was "White Wedding" as a swing duet by The New Morty Show. That was a big hit at my wedding reception actually.

I think since Sid Vicious did My Way, it is only fair that Paul do Anarchy in the UK, and I think it snuggles perfectly in between Hello : Lio-NELL and Eyes without a Face : Billy on the album.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

The New Morty Show cover of "Enter Sandman" is great.

Yeah, that's my regular bar.

Cool. My big summer plans are MoCCA this weekend, and YLT on July 4.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

Oh, my, I've actually seen the Morty Show do White Wedding. It was a trip. I think it was House of Blues.

Whoa, Bionic Rio! She's already more amazing than allowed by law. Now she's UNSTOPPABLE. And she'll probably wake up a ninja, or something.

The owner of that bar is the sister of a coworker! Small world. Do you do their pub quiz nights?

Just back from seeing the Old 97s -- msbelle, Murry made a point of making sure I told you he said howdy. (He did in fact get the whole audience to say "y'all" and then said "I'm gonna tell everyone back home about that one.") Ken Bethea has taken some sort of inexplicable mid-career huge stride as a guitar player, and is now rocking out exponentially more. Made the whole show more intense, and a lot of fun.

Up with the sun

Why, Paul? Why?

That album was playing the last time I was in Barnes & Noble. It's better than it should be.
