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.

Reasons tonight's Hold Steady show rocked:

I was there via cellphone! My friend A called me during "Your Little Hoodrat Friend" because I had sent him a mix with that song on it the week before. He first tried to convince me that he was in Chicago and would be at my apt. in 5 minutes and then held the phone up for me to hear the song. I've explained to him a dozen times that that never works, and it just sounds like fuzz, but he persists.

The Hold Steady album has grown on me much more than I thought it would. I saw their performance at Intonation but I had just gotten there and it was like 3 pm and 98 degrees - not the ideal situation, but they were still fun.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

More later, including details of my sidetrip to Athens to see the Olivia Tremor Control and the Tall Dwarfs play in a forest on Saturday. Gotta catch my flight outta here!

I take it that the published rumors that Jeff Mangum might make a surprise appearance proved untrue?

You read that he showed up with OTC at their show in NYC last week, right?

Yep, indeed.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Which was in the same venue as the Hold Steady show, leaving my friends who had been at both shows awed at their excellent streak at the place.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Huh. The Pixies and Elvis Costello played the Newport Folk Festival this past weekend. (bugmenot: projo@dodgeit.com/bugmenot)

And Bob Dylan is the one making like Nelson.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

Any opinions on James Blunt? He just did a mini-concert here at the Coffee Monster HQ, and I was intrigued. He apparently has the #1 single and album in Britain. Never heard of him, but if he knocked that frog ring-tone off the top of the charts, he gets many points from me.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Alicia, I've heard the single ("You're Beautiful"). Pure, straight-up pop along the lines of Lobo or Jim Croce. The song is based on a clever idea, and he sells it well -- it's my favorite song of the summer. I'm not sure I'd buy the album, though, because I think he'd wear thin after half an hour or so.
