They play Waits a lot on the Wire...I believe he did one of the theme versions...before that I knew his music as "that stuff your Dad likes" that my mother didn't. Not to be all "The Wire like carrots!" again.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

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.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
It's up (Gangsta's Paradise). Enjoy.

That's his song, chica. The others are covers.

OK...then I stand corrected. So to speak.

I am listening to What's He Building in There
This is our catchphrase whenever a wierd noise comes through on the baby monitor. I love that track - "they say he had a consulting business in Indonesia..."

Still, I'm on the list for pitches.
Book-ma to you as well, H!
If I had to pick, I would pitch The Soft Bulletin. A co-worker I was discussing this with mentioned that they haven't done a hip-hop album yet. I would pitch the first Roots album if I was to pick a hip hop album - that is based on personal preference, of course, and not what I think is the most important and book-deserving of all hip hop albums.
My real point in posting was to remind folks to watch/tape/Tivo American Masters on PBS tonight to catch the two-hour Scorcese-directed Bob Dylan documentary (which finishes up with another two hours tomorrow night).

Oh, I didn't know this was going to be on PBS so I bought the DVD as a present for my husband.
It's quite good, though I would have liked to see more live footage.

I think there's actually less in the version that's airing on PBS, so you may have made the right call.

This plus - due to corporate sponsorship from Apple (pt. 1) and Starbucks (pt. 2) they are bleeping the dreaded curse words. So def. good call on the DVDs.
I loved it though. I can't wait for tonight's conclusion.
