Whatcha listening to?

I can really feel the man on these. Don't think I'll be filing the Christmas stuff with the rest of my holiday music anymore.

I'm having a hard time getting to sleep tonight; maybe I'll just listen to Stevie records (after this JB Xmas stuff) until I finally drift off.

yeah...rasheeda...
so this one right here is for all my ladies, we gonna do it like this
we gonna dedicate this one to the fellas, you know
and if you don't, put your mouth to work
ladies, check this out

chorus:
what's up baby, you scared?
put my hands on the back of your head
and keep it there, don't stop
lick it up to the very last drop
and go down
don't you want a taste of this georgia peach?
go down
don't you want a taste of this georgia peach?

first things first, i sheeda
fuck around with no man who won't eat her
i don't need 'em
ain't trying to see 'em
your mommy, daddy, ain't trying to meet 'em
hallmark cards, ain't trying to read 'em
yeah i can cook but i ain't trying to feed 'em
nothing but this vagina, steven
your dick little, need your tongue to make it even
slow down, stop speeding
you're 20-something, supposed to been stop teething
it's been 20 minutes, has this nigga stopped breathing?
i know he down there but i ain't even seen him
damn! where he at? there he go
i'm a superwoman so i need a little mo'
and i ain't nothing like your hoes
i ain't gonna cuss you out, i'ma show you to the do'

chorus

you on the run, got a federal case?
i know a place you can bury your face
yum yum, go get you a taste
gotta shake, let it go like mase
but your tongue gotta know how to act
from the front all the way to the back
it's there for you, now you can relax
i got them goodies, boy get you a snack
i dare a nigga try to act like he don't want to
hate when a nigga say that he won't do
you talking to a girl standing on her own two
if i want to i can do it with my own two
so you gotta work it, do some tongue tricks
it takes dedication, i don't cum quick
so put your shoulders in it, get a neck cramp
cos i gotta have that tongue like a wet stamp

chorus

where he at? where he at? there he go, there he go
real girls make them boys get low
ok!

chorus

OK, I'm listening to the "For Once in My Life" album now. Side One is clearly the better half -- it doesn't hurt that it leads with three killer singles -- but even something just-OK on Side Two like "Do I Love Her" gets a great vocal performance that puts it over. I still think SS&D is a better album. Quick solution to this may be "Greatest Hits Vol. 2," but even then you don't get "Uptight" or "I Was Made to Love Her." I'd warn against the first GH, which has those, unless you have the stomach for one (two? three?) too many novelty numbers that don't live up to "Fingertips."

Gabor Szabo - Bachannal & 1969

So far, it sounds like it's going to be really kind of awful. If this is the adventurous future of Arabic music, well, good thing I bought some 1940s Oum Kalthoum along with it.

I didn't know this existed (not that I know much about either but this sounds interesting).

This is an exceptionally sad sounding song even by Oum Kalthoum standards. I wonder if it's in Kurd.

(The other one was just ending.) "Allah!" is right. The violin and oud solos at the beginning, though brief, are really potent. Now here's the kanun.

Lewd - climate of fear
Vom - I'm in love with your mom
Legionaire's Disease - Rather see you dead
Cringe - Spit on your grave
Freeze - I hate tourists
Crime - Baby you're so repulsive
Fear - I love livin' in the city
Nubs - Job
Molls - White stains
Mad - I hate music
Victims - Television addict
Feederz - Have you never been mellow
Angry Samoans - You stupid asshole
GG Allin & the Scumfucs - Bite it you scum
Johnny Moped - Incendiary device

Bleach "‰E‚à¶‚àŽx”z‚·‚铪‚͍¡“ú‚à“÷‚ðH‚¢ƒˆƒ_ƒŒ‚𐂂炷B" (Hope I spelled that right)

Live! Someone finally connected me to a copy. It's a pretty lo-fi mp3, but still it's great to hear this again. (I only have it on a cassette and have no trustworthy cassette player.) It's as good as I remember it being, maybe even better. Why nobody reissues this live version on CD is beyond me. (Yes, you will see a live version of this song listed in distributors' catalogues all over. I have bought it two or three times, and every time it turns out to be the studio version, even though it's advertised otherwise.)

I didn't know this existed (not that I know much about either but this sounds interesting).*

RS, this is hard to find, seems not to be in print, not one that's well known in Buarque's canon, done when he was in exile, apparently.
