had a whole album become unplayable on my iTunes, the length of every track displayed weird in the last couple of days and then went to 0:00. Anyone have something like this happen?
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.
But then, I can't stand Kate Bush. She's like freakishly twee nails on a chalkboard.
This is why I did not every try to get you to listen to Emilie Autumn, and just told you about the whackaloon fan wankery. Because EA is what happens if you cross Kate Bush with old-school Courtney Love.
msbelle, I have not had that problem.
Ple, you can probably skip Joanna Newsom.
I used to hate Tori Amos' voice (oh, those high breathy "aaahhhahhs"), but grew to love her. I tend to prefer covers of Bob Dylan or Joni Mitchell as opposed to them singing.
Pretty fascinating dissection of "Tik Tok" and why it sucks. [link]
Wow, that was incredible. At least as much for the parts that aren't about Ke$ha as for the parts that are.
Wow. That just kept going...and going...and going. I haven't heard the damn song, so I eventually stopped reading because I didn't care. It seemed pretty interesting, though.
Joanna Newsom took some getting used to, but I can dig her now.
From the little Joy Division I've heard, I much prefer Interpol.
smonster, thanks for the link! That was fascinating. And long, but definitely worth reading (though I still haven't heard the song, and will probably endeavor to avoid it now).
At least as much for the parts that aren't about Ke$ha as for the parts that are.
Yes! I loved the part about "Single Ladies" in particular.
I love Interpol, but nothing they've put out has been as viscerally wrenching as Joy Division at their best.
David, did you see that Tom Waits is guest-editing the 200th issue of Mojo? [link]
There's been a Waits orgy on WHRB all day today!
