Does it make you want to bounce?
There was definitely bouncing.
but there's a lovely Emmylou Harris cover on Live At The Ryman.
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.

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.
I'm fighting the urge to go and do a run to Ameoba records later today. I really can't afford to, but shiny new music...

I was just staring wistfully at the CD case on my desk wishing I had the CD last night. Thanks, Hec.

Should be there by Thurs or Friday.

Ooh thanks! I love me some Glam!

I figured you might. This is actually a mix I've been working on for Shrift and her Velvet Goldmine fic site, so it has a slashy angle (...like, the T.Rex song "Main Man" seems practically like a coded ode to Bowie, whose own publishing is called Main Man. "Queen Bitch" reportedly being Bowie's song about/to Lou Reed.). Here's the tracklisting:
Queen Bitch – David Bowie; Vicious – Lou Reed; Editions of You – Roxy Music; Third Floor Heaven – Bebop Deluxe; Va Va Va Voom – Brett Smiley; Roxy Roller – Sweeney Todd; Butch Things – Billy Hamon; Do You Like Boys - Starbuck; Buick MacKane - T. Rex; Seven Deadly Finns - Brian Eno; Cherry Bomb - The Runaways; Ac-Dc – Sweet; Bad Girl - New York Dolls; Main Man - T.Rex; I'maman – Jobriath; Do You Wanna Touch Me ?(Oh Yeah!) - Gary Glitter; New York Groove – Hello; Blockbuster – Sweet; Toughen Up - The Arrows; Turtle Dove - The Rats; Gudbuy T'Jane - Slade; Jewel - T.Rex; Sweet Head - David Bowie; Growing Up And I'm Fine - Mick Ronson
