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.

I know! Does it make you want to bounce?

There was definitely bouncing.

Just bought it with an iTunes gift cert. I got this weekend - it is lovely.

I am now using the rest of my credit to download a few tracks from the new Kanye West.

On my flight back I listened to the new Death Cab. Not bad, some of it struck me right away as very good. I had a very bluegrassy/CCR-ish weekend though so I wasn't in a Death Cab mood - I'll need to try it again later.

Hmm. I just did a search on iTunes and downloaded a Wrens single off a sampler - the track is titled "Miss Me" but it is actually a really early cheesed out, awful version of "Boys, You Won't" with a different chorus. Bummer.

The film "The Frug" is on is called Desert Blue. They also provided the song "85" for it, which is also pretty decent. I managed to find a video they did for "The Frug," which is standard band-plays-in-room interspersed with clips from the film. Jenny looks cute in it, of course.

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

The CD part isn't that bad if you have a 4 year old or younger computer, iTunes, a CD-ROM, and a really big hard drive. You can set up iTunes to automatically rip any CD you put in the drive. Then every time you use the computer you feed the machine CDs.

Vinyl, though, is more complicated, since there's editing and manual tagging involved. Luckily for me I don't have a lot of vinyl that isn't on CD already. I've been considering digitizing my father's 50s-60s blues album collection if I ever have money again and can afford a turntable. I've also been considering selling them, but it seems like blues records of that era don't have that much value.

Luckily for me I don't have a lot of vinyl that isn't on CD already.

I think most of my vinyl is already on CD, too.

Lisah - you're Mojo Chess burn is in the mail. I tossed in an extra mix of Glam (rare and not-so-rare).

Tina - I also sent your missing Skinny Arms mix.
