No problem! Thanks so much. I'm excited to get home and download them.

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.
This book looks interesting: [link]
And supposedly, it gets the "Good Vibrations" story correct. i.e. It ain't a theremin.
This week's music obsession: Songs used in Sopranos episodes.
I have been Netflixing the Sopranos for the past few weeks and last night I started downloading my favorite songs from the show (so.many.) and thinking about a mix.
I MUST have the track that closes episode 7 from Season 3, Second Opinion, and the interbunny tells me it's a song called "Soleil" from a jazzy/prog-rock instrumentalist named Greg Wells.
Here is his site as far as I can tell: [link]
And I've looked EVERYWHERE for this song. They have all his albums on iTunes but not this song. Grrr.
I know it's a longshot - but - anybody? Any tips on how to find it?
Is it not on one of those Music From The Sopranos compilations?
On the CD Baby site, there's a link in the left column to email Greg Wells: [link]

I listened to the Devin Davis CD that Jon pimped last week about four kajillion times in the car while driving to and fro Omaha last weekend. I love it so (minus the one song about boy bands which I skip because it seems pointlessly humorless about the subject). But I forgot about his live performance on Breakfast of Champions last Friday and am just listening to it now. "Turtle and the Flightless Bird" is my favorite song from the album and I just saw that it's one of the songs he performs on the show. Yay.

Nope.

Hmm. Should I do that? Is that proper I-can't-find-your-mp3 etiquette? I guess I just ask where I can get it and he either replies or not. OK.
There are compilations? Although I think the classic Sopranos musical moment is that early season ep with "The Beast In Me" playing over the credits...that was bitchin'(used to be my favorite televised musical usage, but now that is Ray Cole's wake...cause The Wire Likes Carrots.) But seriously, though, that scene was beautiful.A fine tribute to Colesberry as well as his schlemiel-ish avatar. Everyone should have a send-off like that.

Yup. A bunch: [link]

Oh yes. It's been noted many times by many people - but the music selections enhance the show more than any other episodic television series in recent memory. It's a huge part of my enjoyment in watching and why I took the trouble to hook the DVD player up to my stereo receiver when I started the big re-watch.
My wishlist is now (more) soaked in The Thing, Tina. Seasons 2-4 are still on it. It is always hard to break loose with that kind of cash even with holiday play money. Damn. But my mother wants to see Paulie and Christopher lost in Pine Barrens again so I probably should do it. It is still her Best. Episode. Ever.
