Buffistas

Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan

Closed Threads

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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

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.

Up with the sun

Speaking of Ian - he was interviewed on Morning Edition today for a story about Jenny Toomey. Read and listen here.

Cool, I'll have to download that.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

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.

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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

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.

This gets my vote for Stupidest Music List Ever

One Hundred Albums You Should Remove from Your Collection Immediately

I disagree with the entire concept of there being albums you SHOULD or SHOULD NOT own - I mean - who cares? And yet, it exists therefore I link to it.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Yep, it's stupid. I mean, I feel the same hatred towards some of those albums, but others are pretty damn great albums.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

Heh. Yeah, it's lame and I really love a lot of the albums on there, but some of the descriptions are kind of funny, like the Sarah McLachlan:

"Flip a coin. You get to keep one. You know it doesn't matter which." Or something to that effect.

But at least I get to keep my Clay Aiken and Kelly Clarkson CDs! Thank heavens!
