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

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 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...

We haven't done this in a while.
iPod reportage with bonus did-I-skip-or-delete notage (with no noteage indicating they were listened to and kept):
bemsha swing - thelonious monk (from brilliant corners which was downloaded on rec of joe b. about an eon ago it seems)
cortez the killer (live) - built to spill
i'll be you - mats
television man - talking heads (skipped - wasn't feeling it but didn't delete)
I hear...goodnight - low and dirty three (skipped because i listen to this album constantly)
southern anthem - iron & wine (skipped, not one of my favorites but not so much that i'd delete right yet)
an attempt to tip the scales - bright eyes (skipped as soon as the talking part starts - i need to edit the mp3 because i love the first part)
king of carrot flowers pt 1 - nmh (it's so hard not to just listen to the whole album after hearing this song)
fools we are as men - ryan adams
punk love - magnetic fields (deleted - sorry, it just doesn't give me the shuffle-able vibe)
untitled - akron family (deleted - takes too long to start)
phantasies - s. malkmus
holiday - weezer
stevie nix - hold steady ("oh to be 17 forever!")
luther played the boogie - j. cash
sing me to sleep - the smiths (deleted - i just can't take this song seriously anymore - it makes me laugh)
do you want new wave or do you want the truth - minutemen
love you alice - apples in stereo
That's it for iPod cleansing tonight. By the way - I'm not making much progress I've gone from around 6600 to 5910 songs.

Say, whatever happened to that guy from Austin, liked Moby Dick a lot? Didn't he used to post in this thread all the time?

I think he's returning some dead guy's head to Mexico - there's a reward or something...

Predictable but interesting article in today's Washington Post about the triumph of singles over albums due to mp3 players:
In late December 2005, weekly singles sales topped CD sales for the first time, as American consumers... purchased 19.9 million digital tracks but just 16.8 million albums, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

What? Did I skip over you? Bring me the head of Corwood Inviso!
Btw, did you ever read the comic book The Badger by Mike Baron in the 80s? One of the recurring characters was the ghost of Warren Oates.
