Sorry Jon for your loss.
Also congratulations all around on the book deals.

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.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

So, I went out and got it and now it's posted.
Wow, you went out and got it specially? Thank you! (Far be it from me to unearth a gap in your collection, but that seems to be what I did. Oh dear).
Like it a lot, but like what Ian Broudie did with it a lot too. The Byrds version is chugalug, whereas his slides.

I worked for a while on a country mix last night. After the inital round of pulling appropriate songs, I'm down to 85 songs at 4.2 hours. Must cull a bit more.

A while back I mentioned that Jenny Lewis and M. Ward were playing a show together in NYC. Here is a bit of the NYT review:
Sunday's opening act, the emotive guitarist and songwriter M. Ward (and one of Ms. Lewis's producers), made full use of its acoustics, filling it to the corners with his ornate, finger-picked figures. To the audience's delight, he was joined onstage first by Jim James of My Morning Jacket, then Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes.
sigh.
For her dramatic entrance, Ms. Lewis, in a sleeveless black gown, solemnly proceeded to the altar with the background singers Chandra and Leigh Watson, chanting the hymn "Run Devil Run."
doublesigh.

Ha! We have such similar way-too-long-mix-making ways.

I join tina in the sigh.

We're like the Wonder Twins of music! Our powers are even similarly useless and annoying to the rest of the world. Activate!

If I only had a brain...
Coming out of left field:
What keeps "Sweet Little Sixteen" and "Surfin' USA" from being exactly the same song?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What keeps "The Metro" and "Where Do Words Go?" from being the same song?

And what keeps "My Sweet Lord" and "He's So Fine" from being... whoops.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I read about YouTube.com in NYTimes and just found The New York Dolls doing "Pesonality Crisis" on Musikladen. Streaming video.
If you've got a decent connection, there's tons of amazing stuff there. Live George Clinton and Parliament from 1969, Sarah Vaughan...
