Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!

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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

my mix would not be that heavy leaning country. I'll try to remember and do it once I get home.

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

Quite the mix, eh?

You are all over the place.

I was surprised I had such recognizable tunes, but I was shuffling off the Macbook which isn't as dense with a berjillion obscurities (and soundtrack cues) as the desktop computer.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Barb, I love Jane Monheit!

Mine:

Goodnight Irene -- Dr. John
Hold Back The Rain -- Duran Duran
I'm an Errand Girl for Rhythm -- Diana Krall
Kin Folk -- Dr. John
Kotton Krown -- Elf Power

(Dr. John twice in 5 songs? I think iTunes doesn't shuffle very well.)

Apparently you only have like twelves songs and one of those is from a Dr. John compilation.

I suspected as much.

When I hit shuffle on iTunes, it clumps a lot of artists together. I have no idea why. Are there shuffle settings I can, you know, set?

My iPod does much better:

Boliva -- The Blue Wisp Big Band
Part of the Process -- Morcheeba
You Do Something to Me -- Benny Goodman
Once is Enough -- Lyle Lovett
Lucky Ball & Chain -- TMBG

hip deep in pie

Tell me about the Heavy Blinkers, Sue.

They are a now-defunct (I think) local band that lean toward pretty pop, a la Beach Boys, Burt Bacharach. Their main songwriter is Jason MacIssac, who also does lots of work with a local theatre troupe I know.

ETA: Wikipedia seems to indicate that they are, in fact, still funct.

“Not dead yet!”

I think iTunes has great taste.

Mine has just shuffled to Stevie Wonder. Who always makes me happy. ("If Your Love Cannot Be Moved" FYI)

Naw, mine does that too sometimes. C'mon randomizer! Just pick a chunk of Pi and spin it from there you lazy algorithm.
