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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And if you're wondering, erika, "Westbound #9" gets pride of place because it opens with this lyric:

"Catching the Westbound #9 / Gonna leave this town, leave it far behind/ while I've got my peace of mind."

Wow. That's as big as the Beg, Scream, and Shout set.

Does erika have blackmail goods on you?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's as big as the Beg, Scream, and Shout set.

Most of the 60s soul stuff comes from it. At least 65%. I mean, I was collecting soul well before that but it's all on vinyl.

Does erika have blackmail goods on you?

Nah, but I think she's needing a big funky soul boost.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

To get non-soulish for a second, let me once again publically declare my LOVE for early Suede. I cannot imagine why this isn't Jilli's favorite rock band of all time. It's so swoony and grand. (Way way better than Placebo, Jilli! And just as pretty.)

At AMG Stephen Erlewine asserts:

The double-disc Sci-Fi Lullabies collects the majority of those B-sides, leaving behind the odd live track and remix, as well as the worthy "Painted People" and "Asda Town" and the non-LP single "Stay Together." What's included is stellar, offering an alternate history of Suede. In fact, the first disc — comprised of Suede and Dog Man Star B-sides, plus the haunting "Europe Is Our Playground" — is as strong as any of their albums, featuring such essentials as the sleazy "He's Dead," "The Living Dead," "My Dark Star," the storming "Killing of a Flash Boy," the sighing "Where the Pigs Don't Fly," and "Whipsnade," all strong enough to be A-sides.

And I think he's right. I'd put the first disc of Sci Fi Lullabies up with the eponymous Suede debut.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, not any more than I do on most people I know, Tep I've not been in "Chaka" for a year. Cause I'm ignorant and don't wanna go around "showing myself", but I'm really excited about that, almost indecently so.Thank you does not seem adequate.I owe you porn, or something. My Saturday night's a bit too spot-on...sitting around watching "Rear Window"...if I wrote that in a story my editor would say "Nuh uh!" But, I shit you not. And, what Tep said.

Because I haven't heard as much of them (most of Pete's Suede collection is still at his folks' house in the UK, and he, I quote, "refuses to buy any version of their work that says 'London' Suede"), and because what I have heard of them doesn't instantly grab me the way Placebo did. The first few songs I ever heard by Placebo went straight to my hindbrain and made it their own.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well there's a fair amount of Suede on your imminently incoming package. Glam, Neo-Glam and dark lovely Cabaretish things. The Hunger itself is set to TiVo which will allow me to include "Bela..." on the Gothish video tape, which means it's about done. (Despite the non-inclusion of "The Perfect Drug" or "Where The Wild Roses Grow" which The Alternative refused to air).
