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 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.
That really annoys me with the Rhino compilations, which are often songs of the 50s and 60s with 90s dates on them. Harumph.
I have a shitload of albums (most bought from iTunes) that have the year of the CD being reissued as the year in my iTunes database. Most annoying.
I think I need to spend a weekend afternoon just fixing my iTunes data.
The Clash did a version of Pressure Drop in the 80s. It's on "Black Market Clash"
Bone Machine
If I listen to this album will I understand the Pixies song?
Jon, any recommendations on theremins? I'm starting to like soldering, so a kit would be cool too. Of course, I'd only be interested in a real (not optical) theremin.
Are the more expensive ones easier to play? (If that's the case, then I have to decide if I just want to fart around, in which case a cheap one would do, or do I really want to learn to play one, in which case I should invest more in a better one.)
If I listen to this album will I understand the Pixies song?
The Pixies song predates the Tom Waits album. (And Black Francis did the intro to the collection of Waits interviews, so he presumably took it as a compliment.)
What's to understand? "My heart's got a bone machine!" We're bone machines.
