Yeah, iTunes is slowly getting more comprehensive, but indie stuff and some big names aren't giving up the goods.
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

In music-y news, the clips of the Triplets of Belleville soundtrack that I've heard are exceedingly cool. I wants it.
I heard it over the weekend, and it's fab. I still haven't made it to the movie yet. Stupid end of the school year papers.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Then I am totally coming. Is it 21-over?
I'll check on that.
Do you need to prebuy tickets, or will there be some at the door?
And I'll check on that, too.
Have you bought your ticket to DC yet?
Not yet.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
The Magnetic Fields are coming to Northampton! Whee!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yeah, iTunes is slowly getting more comprehensive, but indie stuff and some big names aren't giving up the goods.
And their oldies selection is quite weak.

Bloodshot rekkids are available on iTunes. Go forth! Spread the gospel of the honky-skronk!
Also, CDBaby.com, an indie distributor, is having a big ol' clearance sale.

Up with the sun
I got more new CDs on half.com and Amazon last night. (I'm on a Must Diversify! Now! trip.) The CDs I bought were:
- "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back," Public Enemy
- "Blacklisted," Neko Case
- "In Search Of...", N.E.R.D.
- "Three Feet High And Rising," De La Soul
- "Fragments From a Rainy Season," John Cale
- "Things Fall Apart," The Roots
- "Pleased to Meet Me," the Replacements (I had it on cassette, which I can't find anymore. I am slowly duplicating the good parts of my high school record collection on CD. The next purchase in this vein should be Sonic Youth's "Sister".)
Between that and an LJ mix trade I'm participating in, I expect to be in New! music! heaven! for quite a while.

"Fragments From a Rainy Season," John Cale
For some musicians (Neil Young is one), my rules are:
1. Live beats studio
2. Acoustic beats electric
3. Solo beats band
And those rules certainly work for me in this case. A bunch of Cale's best songs (and one of Cohen's) performed simply and minimally. I love this album.
YMMV - some people get bored with Cale's piano playing.

One more thing: moonlit's Bonus Australian disk - LOVE it.
