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.

Hec, would you like me to see if I can snag passes for y'all? I know one of the investors at 12 Galaxies....

Yes, ma'am, I surely would.

My friend Tippy Canoe is playing there soon! Everybody should go see her for she rocks the ukelele like nobody's bizness!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hec, I've pinged. We shall see what transpires.

Also, a question for you music buffs: I have a goodly amount of CDs, most of which are burned to iTunes (more each day). I'm thinking of either selling them (via lala or Amoeba) or removing them from the jewel cases and putting them in binders. I'm on a huge "everything that is not necessary must GO" kick, and the stacks o' plastic are starting to bug. So - what would you do? Keep 'em, or sell 'em (and make sure to back up iTunes)?

(Let's not get into the annoyance of the hundreds of VHS tapes. WAY too many of those.)

Sell them at a Amoeba. If you take the trade you'll get good value and can buy new DVD sets. Or, take the money and spend it on more leather goods for motorcycle days.

But I cannot emphasize enough the need to backup your iTunes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, for the last year or so, I've had an external drive attached to my iTunes 'puter for the sole purpose of doing daily backups.

When my brand new external drive crashed this winter, I'd have been more up shit's creek if it not were for the CDs I'd saved aside. But then I have a house, and a good deal more storage space, so the biggest problem is finding the actual CDs after I've ripped them, put them in boxes and put the boxes away....

Yeah, my wee studio's a little overloaded. Plus, I've been getting rid of superfluous things all over - except for books. There are no superfluous books.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Trade it in at amoeba, and use the dosh to buy an external backup drive. Somethin' for somethin' right there. (I can direct you to some automated backup programs if you want, juliana. Also, you can get tons of space on the cheap now, so depending on your cd collection you might still be able to score those motorcycle leathers. *g*)

I noticed on the way to work that the nearby record store is having a big sale. Since I'll be toddling over there after work, are there any new releases that have rocked Buffista socks?

Oooh, yes please. And the jacket (and Frye boots, because I know won't be satisfied with just Docs) will be mine! Muhahahaha!
