I was going to say the last song I heard was something by Ravi Shankar.
I cannot believe he is Norah Jones' dad.
Cass, it was at Trader Joes. I also heard Closer to Fine at CVS. Fuck, we are old enough for musak.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

I am also winning the LDB game, but it's purely through luck, because there was holiday music playing all through Vegas. I'll probably hear it when I go holiday shopping with Dad.

I think I've stayed ahead of LDB so far, but it may be because stations in my area are mainlining "Holly Jolly Christmas" instead.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hey, is *anyone* still winning the Little Drummer Boy game at this point? If so, I envy the hell out of you.
Not sure that I'm playing, but if so, I'm still in. (Hec sent me a copy by the Hoodoo Gurus, but I though I'd waIt and see if I hear it anywhere else first.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I heard it right away, but played by one of my favorite bands live, and although I dislike the song in general, it was a great version. With lots of drums. Including a taiko drum.

I'm still winning, but most of my shopping has been online. Online shopping fortunately has no soundtrack.

I find this is true here too. I wonder why.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aw, browser crash ate my post.
I wish you could come shopping with me, Kat. The pair I bought the other day fit wrong--I thought they'd relax into me, but no. I bend, the waistband plummets. There's no give in the rise. And tucking shirts in is a no go. The style I think we bought together is only available online, and not in my size--depending on what that is. Do I get the 6 that I'm wearing in 2 6 year old jeans? Or go with another pair of safety 8s? And they only have longs.
I haven't heard Live Aid yet. I'll have to do that deliberately tomorrow.
Oh, right. I need to drop off a UPS package tomorrow. I was gonna say Kinkos should be good for that, and then I went to correct to their new name and...right. I'll look something up.
That Samsung ad where you get to pick the heads of your photo subjects is CREEPY. Take the head you get! Don't get all newfangled on me.
Shit, I need to start packing, right? Order a shuttle? You'd think I never travelled for how startled I manage to be every fucking time.

I'm winning the LDB game, but it happens to be a favorite Xmas tune, so I don't really want to win this one. Oh well, if I get into the mood there must be a million versions on youtube. Also thanks to Ginger for turning me on to "The Bitter Withy". Never heard it before. The tune is pleasant and psychopath Jesus amuses me. This Jackie Oates and Saul Rose is good a cover, though it takes a bit of time to get to the song.
