Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.
So what's a "pingback"? Is it some Twitter thing?
My Eno piece a Hilobrow has two in the comments and I don't really know what that means. Is somebody just tweeting about it? (And the fact that one of the Pingers is named "Andrew Eldritch" doesn't mean it's him, right? Just a random pseud?)

Thanks, Shir. I can see the Eldritch bit is related to another Hilo piece on that site. (You'll like it, Jilli.)
David, every time I read your music posts, I end up wandering down breathtaking google streams.
Today, your mention of Paul Williams let me to the Muppets doing Jim Croce's greatest hits. No kidding. You haven't lived until you see Gonzo singing about getting out of the local prison, 'doing 90 days for non-support.'
Heh.
Since I linked my Margaret Rey piece in Literary, I'll go ahead and belatedly link my valentine to Tammy Wynette here.
Hey Buffistas! You know what you haven't done yet today which will improve the quality of your day? Watch PJ Harvey's video for "Down by the Water."
See? You feel better already.
Ronnie James Dio is dead.
70s mix needs some ELO (Sweet Talking Woman maybe) and Elton John's Someone Saved My Life Tonight.
Ooh. I love BOTH of those.
I remember riding in a car with a friend's mother, in seventymumble, and punching the car radio buttons. Someone Saved My Life Tonight (Sugarbeaaaaar) was on every single station at the same time. Different points in the song, of course, but still.
The only other time I've ever had that happen was while Chuck Mangionie's Feel So Good was in its prime. Driving from SF to Santa Cruzon the day of my senior prom...every. single. radio. button.
"Feels So Good" is my personal example of a summer song--you could not escape that tune coming from every radio the summer of 1978.
