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.

Especially loved his rendition of "Summertime".
Moog played "Summertime"? Or someone else played it on one of his theremins?

It was a theremin, & I think he played it. He demonstrated some sounds first & played some stuff later on. Work's been a madhouse so even though I relistened later in the day I again missed a lot. But someone played "Summertime" on the theremin, & I think it was the good Dr. in the studio with Terry. Or maybe Professor Plum, in the library, with...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
20th Century Boy by T Rex is a freaking GREAT song, and I want to publicly thank Launchcast, the technology which allows me to listen to it while at my desk.
That is all.

It was one of the Blue Jam series, Jim. I can't tell you more than that, but I thought it was painfully hilarious.

20th Century Boy by T Rex is a freaking GREAT song,
It sure is. That's a massive riff to get you grooving. I think the first time I heard it was in Boston, '84ish when the True Believers covered it live with Steve Berlin from Los Lobos sitting in on sax.

Gracias, Jim.
David's post reminds me that The Austin Music Network (our hometown video network, y'know) is about to go off the air and has been playing clips of live Roky Erickson performances, including a scaldingly great one from 20 years ago with the True Believers.

The Channel. It was a Los Lobos show with True Believers opening. I saw Hoodoo Gurus and The Replacements (separate shows) at the Channel that year too. Also The Bangles at The Paradise.
