the reason I started the low rating to eliminate was I was adding lots and lots of music I had never listened to.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

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.

I must admit, when I rip CDs, I actually choose the songs I want to have, so I really don't have a lot that I don't like.

Because books.
Anyone have any recs for instrumental guitar (or guitar plus) stuff, along the lines of the Foo Fighters "Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners" or some of the pieces from Deadwood or Carnivale ?
Um, that they might be willing to share on brawk?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Caught the Herbie Hancock episode of Spectacle. Good episode, but DAMN, Herbie must have a portrait in the attic. For a man who's pushing 70 (if not over) he looks about 50, tops, and sounds like a kid.
ETA - yeah, he's 68. Spry doesn't even begin to describe him.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
For a long time I didn't notice that Israel Kamakawiwo'ole didn't really know the words to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Now I can't stop noticing it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Lux and Ivy's Favorites (mp3s)
Ok, I got kind of sick of repeating this story 1000 times. So figured I'd include this in the latest volume. I'm the guy who compiles the Lux and Ivy's Favorites Compilations.
It started as a way to keep track of some of the songs Lux, and or Ivy, mentioned in THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE MUSIC BOOK. It was never really intended as anything but a way for a friend of mine and me to have 2 really kick ass compilations.
So we went about the arduous process of finding all the songs mentioned in that interview. It took a loooong time. We used the file sharing program, Napster, as well as our own personal collections. So, one thing lead to another and when word got around that these compilations were out there, they started being traded from fan to fan to fan. So, at some point I decided to put them up on Napster and let anyone who wanted them have them. As the years went buy, more interviews with Lux and Ivy kept popping up, and the list of songs they mentioned got longer and longer. This resulted in new volumes.
Long story short - this blog post has 11 volumes of awesome music, with about 11 songs per volume. Get 'em while they're hot!

Our wings are not tired.
Awwww, the guy I almost married back in 1995 turned me on to Blossom. She was "our" singer.

Awww, nice obit on Blossom though it manages to miss her contributions to Schoolhouse Rock, (like, "Unpack Your Adjectives").
I've always loved her versions of "The Party's Over," "Peel Me A Grape" and "Little Jazz Bird."

Don't forget "Figure 8"! That's one of my favorites.
