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.

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!

but some of the descriptions are kind of funny
Agreed, they are. I am unaffected by the funny due to the Built to Spill and Beastie Boys hate throughout, I think.

Up with the sun
This gets my vote for Stupidest Music List Ever
Let's see... from that list,
I currently own: 13.5 (I have Sarah Maclachlan's live CD.)
Have owned or own on cassette: 8
Have borrowed or otherwise willingly listened to: 6
Damn, that's not even half the list. I need more overrated crap in my record collection!
(And yes, it is a lame list.)

I don't think the listmakers were trying to take the wind out of their own sails, but the pics of someone crushing CDs with his Chuck Taylors is worthy of Spinal Tap. "We stomp on clichés and received wisdom!" Anything you say, dude, anything you say.
msbelle, how do you like "Raspberry Girl" & "An Occasional Man"? I picked them all special-like, just for you. (Which doesn't mean you have to like them, I just thought you would.)

Just wait until you get *my* mix CD.
