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.

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

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.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
You've probably heard his other song in closer (Can't take my eyes off you...can't take my eeeeeyyyyyyeeees off you). He's dull. His special move is that he was a soldier.
Corwood, how old is yr son that you're reading him Moby Dick? Should I be worried that, at 3 months, Seth hasn't started on Infinite Jest?

I would just try to catch up by starting in on Ulysses, Jim.

That's Damien Rice, though. Or are they secretly the same person?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hey, I like Damien Rice.

Hey, Jim! Li'l Sphere is 6 months old today and at the point of constant babbling. I figure that for all my malaprops, fumbles, and dumb colloquial Southernisms, he needs to hear the English language used well somewhere, and being who I am, I reach for Melville for that. Reading Moby-Dick aloud is pretty awesome, actually. It's like doing a long sabbatical in a beloved city you've visited numerous times.
So, how's Seth in general? Are y'all finally getting some sleep?

move out and draw fire
I always forget how much I learn lurking in this thread, until I have a question and come here, and then scan. Good stuff.
This time I've wandered in looking for dark ambient recs. Things like Lustmord, Robert Rich, dark Steve Roach. Help? Also, any idea where I could order such music?
TIA.

Raq -
You can order those artists from Insound: [link]
They can be a little slow though in delivering and have no handy "track your order" capabilities like Amazon.
eta: Oh, sorry I have no recs - I thought you were just looking for where to order the artists you mentioned.
ION, I am finishing up a Best of Bright Eyes mix if anyone is interested. It draws from over 100 songs in their catalog, and I think it's darn good. Anyone who wants a copy can e me at my profile address.
