That was for you, mi Texas amigo. But you knew that.
Mucho gracias. Que raro!

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."
You got it wrong. It's "I Got A Right".
Well, I know that but my fingers decided to go a different way. Also, women get wooly.
Nice dissertation on the history of fuzz, Joe. ...and then there was the Supermuff. Or maybe the Voxx wah-wah peddle. ("Make your guitar sound like a sitar.")
I opted for Yours Mine & Ours, btw.

Also, re:

I expect you all to use this as evidence when I'm old and doofy that similar mistakes are not signs of dementia, but entirely normal for my baseline.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
are you suggesting:
1) you aren't old and doofy now?
2) we don't assume you suffer from dementia already?
3) we keep files?
4) we will stay in touch for years to come?

I don't know about you, missy, but I'm counting on Hec's deeply detailed files to keep me out of the loony bin in 2035.
(Also, Hec, go read Last Plane's new piece on heavy metal.)

Older and doofier. Sort of like Prof. Irwin Corey.
2) we don't assume you suffer from dementia already?
I'm not demented! I'm...antic.
3) we keep files?
This is a public record.
4) we will stay in touch for years to come?
I know where you live.
but I'm counting on Hec's deeply detailed files to keep me out of the loony bin in 2035.

Golden Smog's Weird Tales is fine listening for a Sunday afternoon.
::goes back and double-checks spelling of group name and album title::
"I Can't Keep From Talking" is such a Big Stars song. (Well, and looking at the lyrics seems to be a straight up tribute to Big Star.)
Also, the Pernice Brothers is gorgeous.

Sufjan, Fiery Furnaces Head Rubber Soul Tribute
Rob Kleckner reports:
In a shocking turn of events, we are pleased to report yet another Beatles tribute album. But this one's different, folks. It ain't just a big steaming pile of "Yesterday" and "Across the Universe" covers (for the love of God, please, stop covering these songs!).
This album is a track-by-track run through of the Beatles' 1965 masterpiece (aren't they all?) Rubber Soul . It's titled, appropriately, This Bird Has Flown - A 40th Anniversary Tribute to the Beatles' Rubber Soul , and will be released by Razor & Tie on October 25. Featured on the album are Sufjan Stevens, the Fiery Furnaces, Ted Leo, Low, Nellie McKay, and a few others.
The album was produced by Jim Sampas, who producer a Bruce Springsteen tribute album in 2002. Sampas says, "As we looked toward artists we would approach, we felt they should be kindred spirits, whose gifts for singing and arranging lend themselves to these melodies and themes. Each artist on this album brought their own fascinating interpretations and have extracted new meanings from Rubber Soul ."
This thing is chock full of Bens, too. Harper on "Michelle", Lee with "In My Life", and Kweller doing "Wait". What, are the Beatles too good for you, Folds? Oh wait, no, you did "Golden Slumbers" for the I Am Sam soundtrack. How about you finish that medley, you Abbey Road elitist! "Oh, look at me, I'm too cool for pre- Revolver Beatles!"
Tracklist:
01 Drive My Car - The Donnas
02 Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) - The Fiery Furnaces
03 You Won't See Me - Dar Williams
04 Nowhere Man - Low
05 Think for Yourself - Yonder Mountain String Band
06 The Word - Mindy Smith
07 Michelle - Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals
08 What Goes On - Sufjan Stevens
09 Girl - Rhett Miller
10 I'm Looking Through You - Ted Leo
11 In My Life - Ben Lee
12 Wait - Ben Kweller
13 If I Needed Someone - Nellie McKay
14 Run for Your Life - Cowboy Junkies

Art Crawl!!!
Hec, The Boswell Sisters. Can you recommend anything of theirs in particular? (I assume that you know of whom I speak.)
I just heard a cd that a friend of mine picked up when she was traveling in Indiana. She stopped off to gas up her car and this guy was listening to to this fun muisc so she asked him what is was - and it was the Boswell Sisters. And for good measure he gave her a cd of their music that he had burned.
So completely random.
Of course, I could ask her to burn me a copy but given her track record - I probably wouldn't see it before the next millenium.

But of course. Let me look around for which compilation would be best. You'd want something from the 30s-40s when their harmonies were revolutionary. Connee Boswell is one of the great unsung American vocalists. Hold on a sec...
