Cold, man, cold.

Awww, really I just hadn't pegged her as the rich kid she obviously is until she went off on Kate Spade bags. There's going to be a lot of drugs available to her and with her parents history with addiction, it bodes ill. I don't want any harm to come to her, but she's going to be swimming in an absolute ocean of cocaine in about two years.

I've got a server with a 160 GB array in it on a GigE connection to most of my machines and 802.11b for the rest. It makes streaming the audio so nice and slick. I've got everything encoded at 160k MP3 or AAC if I got it from the iTunes music store. 160k seems to be a decent balance for listening to/auditioning things for me, and then when I need the real deal I've got my 2000 or so CD's alphabetized in the next room.

My plan is to buy a Technics SL1200...

You could also go for the Optimus Lab 1100 turntable. The link is to an aussie site but I imagine it's available in the US. [link]

I've looked at other turntables, but I've been using versions of the SL1200 since I was a broadcast DJ 15 years ago, and at that point it was the veteran turntable. It's pretty much the only one I'd dream of owning at this point. I will be doing a lot of stylus research soon though, so if you've got some reviews that would be great.

If she was being raised in Seattle, it'd be heroin, or meth. Probably heroin. We've never really shaken the heroin culture of the U District/Capitol Hill street kids.

She makes me feel uncomfortable, on account of she is very, very attractive. And very, very young. She managed to get what good parts Courtney had to give, taken with a much larger dose of Dad's features. I feel unclean.

I can't stop listening to Rilo Kiley's "The Frug."

This is off a soundtrack right Steph? I have never been able to find it and iTunes doesn't sell it...

This weekend was spent kayaking and camping in nwestern Idaho (loooong flight) and listening to CCR. Question: Has anyone ever heard or thought they heard a version of "Lodi" sung by Bonnie Raitt and (possibly) David Crosby or another male singer? A friend is sure it exists and I would love to find it.

It is off a soundtrack. And check your e-mail.

And check your e-mail.

Ooh! Muchas gracias.

Minute-by-minute first-listen review:

Clapping. Fun.
You have to love any song that mentions Smurfs.
Interesting background vocals- not what they usually do - I can't really tell if Blake Sennett's voice is in there.
I've never heard lyrics by them that so overtly reference TV - a subject they usually avoid like the plague given their showbiz start as Nickolodean child actors.
Hmm. I do feel compelled to listen to it again immediately.

So Amazon tells me that this was released in 1999. Wow. Their first album didn't come out until 2001. Interesting - I didn't even know they were a band then. I'll have to do some more research and see if I can find out how they ended up on the soundtrack.

Hey, folks. Back from visiting Alabama over the weekend.

Inspired by my wife's iPod, I've been thinking about digitizing my music collection, but that's going to be a long project.

Also, I don't know about a Bonnie Raitt cover of "Lodi," but there's a lovely Emmylou Harris cover on Live At The Ryman.
