I don't get the Ringo Starr cover as an inclusion, unless it's just being snarky.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I feel like once Asseteria committed to an album named Live From Uranus that cover is the only artistically legitimate direction they could go in, really.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Thanks, Frankenbuddha! Yeah, I'm very honored and excited by it. While I am acquaintanced with a couple of the Suits, I'm not known enough to them all to lay broad hints or anything. :) The new Freight is huge and this will be the largest audience I've ever performed live for. My record before would have been something like 100 people.
'Tis the season for comps! I've written down a couple of my comp ideas and have done some prelim work on one of them.
If you're on iTunes Ping, they added the ability to post playlists, which allows you do to "comps" that you can show to others. I just got an email today about features they've added.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Weird mix.
Tom Waits, Neil Diamond, the Alice Cooper Band, Dr. John and Darlene Love will be welcomed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next spring, the organization will announce Wednesday.
Let's see though...Alice wrote "The Ballad of Dwight Frye" who played Renfield in the Lugosi Dracula and Tom Waits played Renfield in the Coppola Dracula. Darlene and Neil both worked with and for Phil Spector. Tom and Dr. John have long connections over the years, touring together and sharing musicians...

I'm still cracking up to "Horse Outside" by Rubberbandits. It's my first encounter with them but apparently they're a comedy hip-hop duo from Limerick. 1.5M views on YouTube so far and they're trying to get the song to #1 on the Irish and British charts by xmas. Warning: NSFW language

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The ultimate 1980s scifi and fantasy movie mixtape
Science fiction and fantasy films of the 1980s were filled with a ton of memorable, iconic, and patently ridiculous music. Here are 30+ of the decade's finest (and most painful) movie tunes for your listening pleasure.
The page has a video for each of the songs.
eta:
The Rock and Rule soundtrack (1983)
Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, and Earth, Wind, and Fire in a bizarre Nelvana film about mouse people or something.
Um... what?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
From the NYT Year in Ideas: The Guitar That Stays in Tune
In October, an engineer and a musician named Cosmos Lyles began selling EverTune, a guitar bridge that keeps the instrument from going out of tune no matter how hard its strings are strummed or bent.
EverTune is a purely mechanical spring-and-lever system: when a string stretches or slips, the springs apply the opposing force necessary to compensate for the shift, thus maintaining the correct tension and tuning.

If that works, that's amazing. But he needs to make one for ukes. Ukes go out of tune if you breathe wrong.
