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.
'War Stories'
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.
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.

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
