Be careful what music you play on your way to the airport:
“He didn’t like Led Zeppelin or The Clash but I don’t think there was any need to tell the police,” Mann told the Daily Mirror.
I'd say not liking Zeppelin is cause for calling the police.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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.

Art Crawl!!!
A friend sent me an article in email (I believe that the article is originally from Reuters) with this information:
Sonic Youth principals Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon, plus their daughter, Coco, on shakers, will appear on the season finale of the WB drama "Gilmore Girls" to perform an acoustic version of the new song "What a Waste."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
"on shakers" ??? What does an ascetic, celibate, nearly-extinct religious sect have to do with the Gilmore Girls?

Would it disturb anyone if I was to put together a mix of my favorites from this challenge to share with my non-Buffista friends? (Properly thanking each person who supplied me with them, of course.)

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Five different Bessie Smith comps on the iTunes Music Store and none of them has "I Got What It Takes"?? What freak parallel universe am I in?
eta: for some reason I was able to find it when I made another search. Don't know why.

The Empress of the Blues did record a lot of songs.
sidenote: Molly Ringwald is a huge Bessie Smith fan.
second sidenote: Bessie Smith once had a confrontation with the husband of one of her woman lovers, and he stabbed her in the ribs and she chased him down the street until she keeled over from blood loss.
Here's the Bessie I've got digitized:

For some reason, a second search worked. Her version and Blanche Calloway's version are very different. I've been working on Blanche's but I've had trouble transcribing one or two of the lyrics.
There's no doubt I admire Bessie's sapphire qualities.

Okay, I downloaded both Bessie's and Clarence Williams'. Clarence wrote the tune. But his version leaves out the verse. Although Blanche's has the verse, it's different than the one Bessie uses. Very interesting.
One failing of iTunes that I'd like to see addressed in future is a field for the date the album was published and a field for the date the song was actually recorded. Those dates won't necessarily be the same for reissues. It would help me make playlists by decade if the songs didn't have the date of compilation. (I'd even like another field for the date the song was written/published.)
