Did anyone who was listening to A Prairie Home Companion a couple months ago and heard a female artist perform a song, I'm pretty sure is called "Fishers of Men" happen to remember who that artist was?
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?
'Smile Time'
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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
After a long avoidance, I finally started re-listening to some music that I think is going on my annual mix, and DAMN the most recent Ladytron is really, REALLY good. I personally think the first three songs are worth the price of the disc (and there's other stuff that's really good too).

Woe to the fucking wicked.

thanks DebetEsse!
edit: and now it's on my ipod. Truly we are living in a golden age.
I think 10 minutes is the cut off for $0.99 songs. You can get In A Gadda Da Vida as a single but you have the buy the album to get Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.

Yeah, that's the case with my CDs. If it's over 10 minutes, you have to buy the whole album.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Didn't know if I should post my question in here or in Natter, but I'm looking for a list of countries which can't get iTunes (read: Apple won't accept credit cards from them), such as mine (Israel), to prove a point (that I'm pissed of).
Does anyone know where I find it?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The expensive solution would be to go to every country and try to buy an iTune song from there. If anyone wants to underwrite my attempt at this, let me know!

“Not dead yet!”
Shir, this is perhaps backwards, but here's a link to an iTunes overview that lists the countries that receive iTunes and when they received the capabilities.
On a slightly different note, here's a list of countries that were slated to receive the iPhone, but that didn't have the iTunes store: [link]
And here's an article about the iTunes App store, that talks about partial stores that are in the process of being built and Israel is on the list.
Don't know if any of this will help.

Thanks, Barb! Your links hits much closer than my first - quite desperate, I admit - searches. As I thought, more countries without iTunes access than the ones with it.
I know about the so-called-Apple-store in Israel. That's crazy. Most of its clients will be people who illegally got themselves Apple products or got it via 5th hand. Or just hipsters.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Okay, nobody warned me that Forever the Sickest Kids were the most ridiculous band. They're even more ridiculous than Metro Station, y'all.
Oh my god, they are so not more ridiculous than Metro Station. but they are indeed ridiculous. I had a quick chat with Jonathan, the lead singer, and they've only been doing it for a year. I'm pretty impressed with their ability to rile up the crowd.
