'Dirty Girls'
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.
Baby check this out, I've got something to say
Man, it's so loud in here
When they stop the drum machine and I can think again
I'll remember what it was...
We're having a hot summer trapped indoors dance party to TMBG, partyin' like it's summer 2008!
flea! Welcome home! Did you get my email? Oh, and I forgot something... another incoming shortly.
Welcome home, flea!
Clarence Clemons has suffered a stroke.
The site, Backstreets.com, said that Mr. Clemons, 69, had undergone two brain surgeries at a hospital near his home in Florida after the stroke, which was described as “massive,” but is “responsive and in stable condition.”
Quoting an unnamed friend of Mr. Clemons, the site said the saxophonist’s situation “did not look good at all” on Sunday, but that Mr. Clemons, known as “the Big Man,” had rallied and his vital signs were improving. “He was paralyzed on his left side, but now he’s squeezing with his left hand,” the account said. “The next five days will still be critical. But he’s a fighter.”

Here's a series of posts about Oscar music nominations from the 80s. 1984 was ridiculous! [link] Every nominated song hit #1, and none of them are from Purple Rain...
If you're a member of a symphony orchestra, can you hear your own performance in a recording, or does everyone blend together?

My friend Ivor is a drummer and he's primarily listening to the drumming in any particular song. I guess it would depend on how well that particular section blended together (some are more famously uniform than others).
A a person who is not in a symphony orchestra, I can definitely pick out the sections-- that is, I can hear the French Horn part, which is what I played. With something like the French Horn, I could probably pick myself out, because there is often only one person per part. Not sure if I could if I played violin or something else with a large section.
