I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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."

and -- my favorite part -- "a diamond tennis bracelet."

He's six, right? You know what he really wants but doesn't know it? He wants to get his eyebrows waxed.

Are you ready to be strong?

One of my fondest NYC memories is when, many years ago, I was visiting my best friend there and we ordered waffles and cigarettes to be delivered at midnight.

My sister would kill me for putting this idea into his wee little head.

Oh, brave new world that has such amenities in it.

You might want to invest in a little Krav first. Though Emmett reports that his teammate in Double-A, Eli, dyed his hair platinum blonde for the summer.

hip deep in pie

Want to go to the Rio wedding for the music, the cute gay nephew, the dirty joke telling groom and the pretty Rio.

Punishingly Intricate

A) Does anyone know of a good way to find, like, band practice studios for rent? Is there a national network of these things? I've tried looking locally, and can't seem to find anything.

A good way is to ask other bands where they practice and if they know if there are any spots available.

Also, a dress song

Richard Thompson interview & performance on Soundcheck today at 2. Should be archived by late afternoon if you can't listen live. He's also doing a free show at the World Financial Center tonight at 7. New Yorkers who haven't seen him definitely should not miss the opportunity. If I had to choose I'd prefer to see him with a band, but he's one of the few solo performers I enjoy hearing. Besides having thirty-five years of great material of his own the man is a human jukebox (long before he started doing his 1000 years of popular songs shows) and he has almost no constraints when performing solo so you could end up hearing just about anything.

I love Flyboy In the Buttermilk, and bought half a dozen when it got remaindered and gave them away to friends.

I love it, too, but it's a very idiosyncratic mix of high and pop cultures, and those not fluent in George Clinton-speak may have trouble finding their bearings. (Hint: Mothership Connection and or Funkentelechy vs. the Placebo Syndrome is the Rosetta Stone for cracking the Tate code.)

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

One of my fondest NYC memories is when, many years ago, I was visiting my best friend there and we ordered waffles and cigarettes to be delivered at midnight.

If it helps, we miss that too. All the good delivery services have gone out of business -- though freshdirect.com is da BOMB. You gotta get their cookie dough on your next visit.
