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.
Has this ever happened to anyone else?
every once in a while - and not just with itunes either. i think itunes uses cddb to get album and track names - anyway, cddb is not perfect.
what happens more (for me) is i have to choose from two possibilities which are identical, or nearly so.
I don't have my ibook with me, but i have a link on it how cddb works - kinda interesting.
I put in a CD and it asked me if the CD was Nico's "Chelsea Girls" or The Godz "2" (it was Nico).
I've never had this problem with cddb, and yes, I own both of these albums.
I've had that with CDDB, though not with that specific CD, which I don't own.
And -- Happy Birthday, Theremin-Actuary-Gigolo Man!
Hey, what have you guys heard about the Decline of British Sea Power?
It's a pretty good album, Sumi, what with the mid-80s indie rock referents.

Yeah, that's happened to me a few times, but the Godz/Nico thing cracked me up.
Nico had a better band, but, y'know, I think the Godz might have had the edge in the vocals department.
Hec! The missing Cowboy Bebop CD has been found! I shall burn a copy and send that to you as soon as possible.
Excellent!
We're reviewing The Godz in the book, and were going to do Nico's Desertshore but Kim bailed on it this week. The book is getting stuffed fat and we're both scrambling to finish our own reviews. I've already finished my pieces on James Booker (New Orleans pianist - with an eyepatch!), The Individuals, Terence Trent D'arby, and Buck Naked and the Bare Bottom Boys. My Neutral Milk Hotel is almost done. Gun Club mostly done. Graham Gouldman almost done. Klymaxx mostly done. Still working on Swamp Dogg, k. mccarty, Bo Diddley, Oscar Brown Jr., Bongos Bass and Bob (Penn Jillette project), Temptations (their album 1990, which came out in 1972 if you're wondering), Sugarpie DeSanto, Cowboy BeBop...fuck. I still have a lot to do. Might have to drop The Chills Submarine Bells even though I love it tons, because we've got so much indie rock/pop already.

That'll be one less heavenly pop song waiting for you in the afterlife, y'know.

I might do 'em anyway. I love that record with deep geekly love. How could I not with lyrics about sitting around reading Swamp Thing while listening to The Byrds? We're already covering one of their albums (Brave Words) and only a select few musicians are gettings doubles (Mekons, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Graham Gouldman/10cc, Sparks, Feelies/Yung Wu).
