Hey, is there a really exhaustive music history website? Like if I wanted to find out all the songs that Johnny Cash wrote, is there a place that is easily searchable that would have that information?
Gimme some milk.

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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Other than Allmusic? Probably not.

Allmusic is the one I was thinking of but I couldn't remember the name and had removed it from my bookmarks because it doesn't really work with the old OS and browser I have to use here at work. I'll have to remember to look it up at home on shinier computer.
thanks!

wikipedia's johnny cash discography seems to be more or as complete as allmusic's and I bet whatever browser you're on now can handle it: [link]

thanks, tina!
We're doing a Johnny Cash tribute next month and are in the process of figuring out which 3 or so songs to do. I think my vote is going to be for "Hardin Wouldn't Run." such a great song. (also sometimes I like to sing it as "Harbin Wouldn't Run" because of how that's my last name)

I assume we're are all ready to go buy a copy of "Do They Know it's Halloween?" to help raise money for Unicef this year?
My favorite bit in the NYTimes story:
The participants in "Do They Know It's Halloween?" were alternately amused and confused by the project. Mr. Gollner said the singer-rapper Peaches at first thought the Bush administration was trying to ban Halloween.

She wouldn't run because she'd drive the car she got "One Piece at a Time"! (And it didn't cost her a dime!)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. Joe has the same fondness for "One Piece At A Time" that I do. Though I first heard it on an early Cash tribute album. The one with Marc Almond on it.
also, joe, I got the box!
Pee Wee, Star Wars on the Beach, early R.E.M.! Fun!

Damn straight!
Why can't I find the cd of Mojo Cash Covered with Steve Earle doing "Hardin..."?!?! I can find the case. grrr. stupid inability to put things where they belong/laziness about ripping cds.
