Cool, thanks.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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.

Tina, in the current issue of Mojo they show Sufjan wearing the Illini cheerleader outfit he'll be wearing on this tour.
I am SO bummed that I will miss him when he comes to Chicago. I will be at Winfield...and two days after I leave KS? He is playing my absolute favorite (and tiny) bar (to see live music anway) in Lawrence...sadness.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I put a couple Denim songs up at Buffistarawk.
They're very meta, but they're also exemplars of the musics they're commenting on. "American Rock" is like every 70s Lou Reed song ever all jammed together. "Middle of the Road" pisses on the sacred cows of music fandom to a walloping glam rock beat.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
I didn't realize that Back In Denim song was rare, or I could have sent it to you! Herself gave it to me. I love it, of course.

If I only had a brain...
I bought Dr. John's Gumbo and am enjoying it immensely; my favorite so far is "Staggerlee". I'll probably buy the Rhino records anthology next; thank you all.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
My lastest fixation is with the song "Casimir Pulaski Day."
Yes, this. I picked "Casimir Pulaski Day" up at Glorious Noise and I might buy the album on the strength of it. The directness of the lyrics, especially the opening lines, with the lulling way they're sung is really affecting.
Also, I did some good today and bought tickets for the Posies.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Hec, do you want the Voltaire "Brains!" song?

Thing is, Mojo just highlighted in a recent issue while at the same time Go Kart Mozart (his new group) has a new record out. Hence the scramble by record collector scum to go back and find it. It's OOP, so it's more of a sudden increase in demand.

Excellent! I'll have to show you the Nick Cave video for "Staggerlee" sometime as it's scandalous but very entertaining. I am deeply in love with him for wearing a pink Take That t-shirt in that vid. (Take That being the Brit equivalent of N'Sync.)
Hec, do you want the Voltaire "Brains!" song?
Thank you, ma'am but Jilli posted it up at buffistarawk with some other Voltaire songs (which you should get). I think I'll probably go ahead and buy one of his CDs as I'm liking his stuff.

LOVE IT
I laughed out loud when he got to that very particularly rude line which is from one of the song's many very rude iterations.
