Alicia, it's here.
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.
I am a swoony fangirl right now because the Famous Musician that I recruited to write word notes for a project has just turned them in, and they are BRILLIANT. And funny. And poignant. And acerbic. And wide-ranging.
Yay!
Jon - can you add mine?
They're here.
Thanks.
Lyra Jane - Man do I love your local artist song. Mmm. Angry.
Speaking of Ian - he was interviewed on Morning Edition today for a story about Jenny Toomey. Read and listen here.
Pretty simple equations, though. Vigilante justice = never a good thing outside of fiction. Lynching in the South = usually associated with race murder, although perhaps Willie & Toby were lamenting their inability to string horse thieves up. Either way, given the timing of the song, I took it as unadulterated support of our Bozo-in-Chief's decision to invade Iraq. Personally, I just hate to hear Austin's own longhaired, pot-smoking elder statesman of cosmic cowboyhood espouse a pro-war/anti-social justice philosophy.
My liner notes and a downloadable jpg of my inserts are available on my new, upgraded website: [link]

Cool, I'll have to download that.
Listening to the new Al Green disc, his first album of secular music in years. Holy shit, The Reverend is still fantastic. Makes your butter melt.
Mojo Alert:
Big article on Chic.

Thanks for the heads up, David. Email's on its way. I expect a wave of Chic-love to spread through the Buffistas once my mix shows up... Okay, maybe not. But it should. They're great and "26" is a great tune.
I am in posession of Mr. Boucher's mix and will be listening to it throughout the day. I feel that my day of data entry and address look-ups will be greatly improved with this music.
