Buffy ,'Potential'
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.
Is this where I link to Steve Albini's classic tome The Problem With Music?
Dear god, please don't. The current bf is obsessed with Steve Albini's message board. I hear about that guy's opinion on everything from tipping etiquette to the caveman vs. astronaut debate on a daily basis. I am officially tired of him.
But I've read the thing you linked to. At least it sounds like the members of the band are leading good lives now.
If there's any sort of feature you'd like to see, let me know!
A way to search band names to find the latest show you played them on and thus their complete list of songs played. Is that possible?
Hey tina! I added a simple search form for my radio playlists. It probably still needs some tweaking, but it's live and available right now: [link]
Let me know if you have and problems with it, suggestions, etc.
Jon, this is awesomeness!
I did a quick search for "centro" "centro-matic" and "centromatic" to see how sensitive it was (not case sensitive but won't find bands if you only put in partial names - you gotta do the whole thing).
but I did find this:
all the others are with the hyphen.
This is *kinda* what I do for a living (content management) so I will be sure to tell you if I find anything odd - tell me if you don't care (though bless you, I know you do) and I'll stop.
Seriously. I have a ton of work to do tonight and this is going to cause major distraction. Fun!
Chicagoistas - hurry home and shut your windows! It just started POURING on the far north side.
but I did find this:
Thanks. I DO care. I'm constantly finding crap like that and fixing it.

You saw the drop-down thingie where you can choose to find entries that start with or contain a string, right?
Also, I made it insensitive to whether band names start with a "the" or not. I am quite pleased with myself about that one.
Oh man! And you can search by song title, too. Even more awesomeness!

I did not! But now I do. Good job, Jon.
Miranda July's playlist for the NY times
I know the Peter Bjorn and John song "Young Folks." I have not even vaguely heard of any of those other people.
Well then, you've got some work ahead of you!
Or I could sit here and enjoy my Great Northern CD.
Is that the one with "City of Sleep" on it? I liked that song.
