The guy who runs Thereminworld, Jason, is a mensch. Just an incredibly nice guy. He's the one who shot me at the Theremin Camp in Asheville a few years back, doing Video Killed The Radio Star.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a release question. I have a compulsive need to correctly ID the release years of the songs in my iTunes library. Compilations throw this off, since they have the album release dates, and I want single release dates.
I'm currently confused by "Pressure Drop" by The Specials. I know this song from the 80s, but maybe that was the Maytals version, and The Specials only recorded it in the 90s.
Can anyone tell me for sure?

The Maytals would have been recording reggae, not ska, in the 1980s, and The Specials were most active in the very early 80s.

Looks like "Pressure Drop" first appeared on the 1996 reunion(?) album "Today's Specials": [link]

I just want to state for the record that there is nothing wrong with this.

How else would my Good 80s/90s/00s smart playlists work properly?

obsessively correcting/updating/adding to anything on iTunes is not wrong at all.

Exactly.
