Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

Hec's list is indeed funny.

This kid probably thinks "I'm Not Okay" is cheesy, but I can see Gee taking him under his wing anyway. (Boy wears black lipstick, eyeliner, polish to school, gets in trouble and banned from wearing makeup.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Gee would respect the kid's "Right to express himself by wearing makeup and thinking my band sucks."

I can't believe no one was bored enough to take on my challenge. What are you people doing? Working?

No one?

It was more of a challenge my way!

“Not dead yet!”

Well, the Genius Sidebar in iTunes 8 finally struck.

Kind of unexpected-- film scores. I decided I wanted something in which I could really sink into for writing marathons. I've always known this, but boy, howdy, do I have an affinity for French horns and 3/4, 6/8, or irregular time signatures.

Why yes, there's a lot of John Williams in the new playlist.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Here's the lineup for SF's upcoming Hardly Strictly Bluegrass show (which is free).

Richard Thompson, Steve Earle, Elvis Costello, Robert Plant & Allison Krauss, Bonnie Prince Billy, Jon Langford, Iris Dement, Greg Brown, Iron and Wine, Nick Lowe, Guy Clark, Tift Merritt, Del McCoury, Emmylou Harris, Ralph Stanley...

It is an embarrassment of riches.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Barb, I was surprised how many things Genius can't genius for, even things I bought from iTunes. But I've been pleased with the lists it has made for me.

Yeah, that surprised me too-- I also noticed a little glitch it seems to do from time to time, where the Genius sidebar quits showing suggestions with no apparent provocation. The Genius application itself works, in terms of creating playlists, but with the sidebar it's almost as if it loses its ability to connect to the music store. But if I turn off Genius and then restart it, it seems to do the trick.

Just a minor glitch and one that doesn't really bug me, but overall, I've been really pleased with the application.
