Without missing a beat I said I love the Boxtops, too, & started singing "The Letter".
Very cool! You're a very clever guy, Joe, if no one's told you that today.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Because I am SMRT.
Heh. In Czech, "smrt" means "dead."
"The Letter" is a great song. Not reading the other liner notes until I finish my mix. Which is getting close. Yesterday I was able to look at the three or four apparently unrelated groups of songs I have and discern a potential theme that would mesh them all into a coherent mix. Order out of chaos! I think.
One theme to rule them all...

I wanted to use Lyra Jane's birth year song for my cover song. I have a cassette somewhere of a Billy Bragg show where he covered that. I went absolutely nuts the first time I heard the original. It's still my favourite Buzzcocks songs. If the cassette didn't sound like ass already, I might have tried to digitize it somehow.

Yeah, that's some great Buzzcocks, but I can't say it's my favorite, because there are so many great contenders for that role (and they're all on Singles Going Steady, too).

HAH! Which I learned when I made my (fabulous seekrit santa gift) velcro shirt say "SMRT", and one of my friends who speaks Czech was a little perturbed...
I'm feeling musically out of synch, goodness. Well, I suspect not too many of my songs will be on other people's albums, unless they're in the guilty pleasures slots. Because my tastes, while broad, mostly run to pop, hip hop, and dykes with guitars...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm fond of "Promises" by The Buzzcocks.

Whee!
Indestructible Object[1], a 5-song EP from They Might Be Giants, will be arriving in March[2]. A new album will follow shortly thereafter[3].
[1] Name subject to change, as John Flansburgh often makes up project names.
[2] Date subject to change, as John Flansburgh often has no sense of scheduling.
[3] This phrase is sufficiently vague to not require a footnote.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
My revised mix is now 79 minutes. I couldn't find something to get it to 80 minutes exactly, damn it.

I am using RealOne Player to burn my CD. Under preferences it has some options for Write Speed. It seems teh default is "fastest possible". Do I want to use that?
