Stayin’ Alive in the Wall
Nice. But I'm finding the necessary pitch shift really distracting (more so on PF shifting higher than the BGs shifting lower).
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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 heard about this a week ago because the theremin player is an acquaintance of mine, but it just went up yesterday.
Beck does an arrangement of Bowie's Sound & Vision with a 167 piece ensemble that includes, among other things, a classical choir, strings, gospel choir, brass, samba drums, dap kings, metal guitarists, gamelan, drumline snares, charango, mandolin, mirambas, mod synth, vibes, orchestra percussion, harp, piano, erhu, yodeler, alpine horn, saw, and yes -- theremin.

OMG. Itunes is a bitch and a half. I haven't had major problems with it - using it for years until tonight.
I have to completely rebuild my itunes library because it went ass up. Now I see why everyone complains about itunes. what a PITA.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I am in a restaurant and I just listened to the worst cover of "Against All Odds" I ever heard. I didn't think you could actually do that to a song and have a record deal.
Then...
I am currently listening to an equally bad cover of "Our Lips Are Sealed." Is there an album of bad covers or something because this is really regrettable and forcing me out of this restaurant.

Y'all, I think I'm getting punked. They are now playing Brian McKnight.

le nubian, this seems to happen to you frequently! Does every restaurant/bar/cafe in your town have terrible music?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yes, Kate. I keep going back because I like the food and service, but I wish I had control over the music.

Hmm, there's got to be some way to fix this. If they're listening to the radio, you should get one of those universal remote controls that will just turn it off or change the station. If they're using an iPod or similar, you might have to figure out how to create an EMP to knock it out.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So I am watching ST:TSG and there is an episode with a Dr. Mannheim. So every time they say the character's name, I shouted out "Steamroller." Because that's how I roll.
Anyway, Beau says to me: "why do you keep shouting out steamroller?"
He had NEVER heard of Mannheim Steamroller. So I had to stop the episode and play some youtube clips. He recognized "Deck the Halls." Didn't know who that was.

Because books.
Manheim Steamroller is sort of 70s. Maybe that's why?
Old clip (late 60s maybe? early 70s?) of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Johnny Carson singing.
