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.

It was more of a challenge my way!

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.

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.

Yep. Some rich dude puts it on every year. Emmylou comes out to be the hostess of the entire event. This is the 8th year.

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
Do we have any istas actually in England these days?
Friends of mine are going on tour. They'll be playing in London, Stockwell, Brighton, Liverpool and Manchester over the next two weeks.
The Mood are wonderful. I'm biased because I pretty much love them, but they're wonderful. They give a great show. I've seen them play clubs and bars and most recently a acoustically proper theater (which was weird because we were sitting but the sound was beautiful)and they always knock it out of the park. They're charming but not cloying, attractive but not cutesy. Their songs are catchy and complex at the same time.
