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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
For Coltraine fans -- Not sure how well reported this is:

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Five reels hold the complete session of Coltrane’s quartet with singer Johnny Hartman
I think I'd give up a kidney to hear those.
There is an astounding and completely unflawed rendition of "Body and Soul"
Also that.
Re: A Love Supreme --
After all these decades of admiring the quartet version of "Acknowledgement," indeed cherishing it as one of the landmarks of music, anywhere, anytime, it feels somewhat heretical to then suddenly turn around and say, "This sextet version is even better." But there it is. This version is even better, with Coltrane and Shepp playing with an intensity that makes it sound at some points as if there were three saxophonists present, and then goading each other onwards as they joyously trade the four-note "love supreme" motive.
Is anyone else drooling yet?

I e-mailed the link to my jazzbo brother. I figure I need to share the unadulterated Coltrane lust.

I'm still a bit shocked.

I haven't heard back from my bro yet -- he may have passed out, himself.
t edit And I'm now listening to the Coltrane/Hartman CD, and lamenting that a superior recording of it exists BUT I CAN'T GET MY HANDS ON IT. Curses!

Woo. Gave me chills reading that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What are people's feelings on Songs: Ohia? Because "Farewell Transmission" is an awesome song.

I downloaded Axxess & Ace off of emusic a while back and wasn't impressed. I thought he sounded like Neil Young at his most boring.
But, I then I downloaded Magnolia Electric Co.'s What Comes After the Blues (not realizing it was the same guy) which I like much better. It's a full band and his voice sounds much more confident. It's much more country-rock than other stuff I've heard of his. Still very Neil Young-esque but not so boring.
One thing you can say about Jason Molina, he records a lot. A lot. A lot.
Now playing: Lots of Richard Buckner. At the moment, Since. It's a super rainy day here and Buckner and rain go together just about perfectly.
