I think the classic Sopranos musical moment is that early season ep with "The Beast In Me" playing over the credits
Nick Lowe song. Johnny Cash covered it too, but I remember them using the Nick version on the show.

'Harm's Way'
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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Should I do that? Is that proper I-can't-find-your-mp3 etiquette?
Sure. I think he'd be psyched you want to buy the song from him, and not steal it.
"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.
Funny story, that. I commented after the set that I missed hearing the theremin at the end of the song that's on the CD version, and that I was tempted to add it in myself. He told me to go for it. I looked at him disbelievingly. "No, really", he replied.
So when I was editing the set at home (there were several false starts that needed to be cut out), I overdubbed some theremin onto the song. I tried to make it sound like the theremin heard in the previous song which Devin did play himself.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Kate, the sean nós stuff is up. Sorry for taking so long, I couldn't use my own computer.
I tried to download these just now, but they're in a format that I can't read (.cda). I can't get either iTunes or Windows Media Player to play them. :-( Thanks for trying, though! I appreciate it. I'll keep an eye out for other stuff by that singer.
Which Fucked-Up Genius Composer Are You?
Heh, I got Shane MacGowan.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Captain Beefheart... you are one of the first modern fucked-up geniuses.
Yay!
And I love that one of the song lyrics was from one of my favorite Nick Cave songs, "The Curse of Millhaven."

Ann, that's a ferret.

It's not you, Kate --- cda files are pointer files on audio CDs. They are not the actual audio files. Spring -- you need to use software like iTunes to rip the audio from a CD. You can't just upload the cda files directly from the CD.
The fact that the cda files are only 1K each in size should have been a clue... ;)

Gah? Bah. K, to me, means the Kellogg's logo.
Thanks for trying, though! I appreciate it.
I'll try again, I'll just get someone whose idea of communicating with a computer isn't smashing the keyboard with his fist to do it.
