What an excellent idea. More bands should do that.

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 know! I can only hope that Bauhaus does the same thing.

hip deep in pie
The Pixies are [link] and Pearl Jam did all those "official Bootlegs" a few years ago.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
for those keeping score. Now at 11.2 days. 20 disks to rip tomorrow, then I am giving it a rest for a while.

You are the Queen of the Task list, that's for sure.
I think I've got about 20 days on my iMac but that's only a tiny portion of my collection.

Silence means security silence means approval
I'm closing in on 12,000 and 30 days thanks to another round of ripping.
Y'know that 33 1/3 series of books? Aspiring writers take note:
Hmm. I was actually thinking of writing a blog piece about my strange love for Picaresque, and it could easily be broadened to a 33 1/3 sized book. But I'm not big or famous or have a book to my name.
I really should start writing for profit. Er, money. Er, publication.

Why has no one told me this was in the offing?
This Bird Has Flown: A 40th Anniversary Tribute to the Beatles' Rubber Soul
The artist listing is very, very sexy, though it should be noted that the artists listed don't match their songs in every case; read the editorial review to see who really does what. I came across this after I downloaded Ted Leo's "I'm Looking Through You" and Sufjan's "What Goes On" and suspected something was up. Something very, very good. October 25th needs to happen fast.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Rhett informed the audience last night that Blender magazine had deemed the Old 97's "Murder or a Heart Attack" the 167th-best song since 1980. And that, for some reason, they didn't believe that it was *really* about missing a lost cat.
ETA: You can only see 1-250 in the magazine, apparently, but 251-500 are up at the site: [link]
Apparently, 251 is "Don't Believe the Hype," which should be higher-rate than that, and 500 is Coldplay's "Yellow," which seems about right.
