Xander ,'Get It Done'
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 do have to confess, since I brought it up, that I was so out of the music scene in the 1990's that I did not realize "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was the same sone as the "Here we are now, entertain us." song until I had the Moulin Rouge soundtrack!
ETA: The electric cellos were pretty awesome
An appreciation of Tori Amos' album From the Choirgirl Hotel.
I love that album. "Rasberry Swirl" is still one of my favorite songs to dance to.
Going to see the Decemberists tonight for the first time. I have to admit, I came late to them--I like their earlier CDs, but I LOVE their latest, more folk-tinged one. It's always a little odd going to a concert when you are not a diehard fan, but I can't imagine it will be anything but wonderful.
How were they, Scrappy? My first real date with FAQWife was a Decemberists show, so they've had a special place in my heart.
From an NYT article about song rights:
The provision also permits songwriters to reclaim ownership of qualifying songs. Bob Dylan has already filed to regain some of his compositions, as have other rock, pop and country performers like Tom Petty, Bryan Adams, Loretta Lynn, Kris Kristofferson, Tom Waits and Charlie Daniels, according to records on file at the United States Copyright Office.
Tom Petty, Bryan Adams and Tom Waits are country artists? Really??
as have other rock, pop and country performers
Rock and pop, right?
Maybe the "and" should have been an "or"? I'm sure there's a style guide note for that sort of sentence.
Yes, I think it should have been an "or".
