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.

This will be Emmett's very first rock concert.
Has he seen any Iggy performances? I can't imagine what I would have thought of Iggy at Emmett's age.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Have people heard about the Big Giant Head fee increases for internet radio?
A recent change to the structure of royalty payments for streaming audio broadcasts will surely kill online streaming as we know it, unless something changes, and soon.
Pandora founder Tim Westergren writes, "Internet radio is hostage to a blatantly discriminatory double standard that was written into the federal statute governing webcasting several years ago, following an intensive lobbying effort by the RIAA. We need to redress this, and create a more level playing field - one that of course rewards musicians for their work, and one that also understands the business realities, and benefits of online radio."
Some people think that most internet radio stations will just stop doing streaming audio if this stands.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Since I suddenly have a surfeit of space, I've been going a little crazy with the downloading. I was wondering--what podcasts/vodcasts do you guys subscribe to? Doing some savvy browsing around iTunes has brought up a lot of stuff I really dig, like the World Cafe Live and some americana/alt-country podcasts. What about ya'll?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Aside from the ones already mentioned, I like:
The Sound of Young America-- particularly good if you are interested in comedy or hip hip
Jordan Jesse GO! -- a talk show from the people behind TSOYA above
The Hollywood Saloon-- for the most ridiculous kind of nerdliness about film, like two-hour paeans to Shane Black and equally lengthy disquisitions on the 30 different versions of Star Wars.
