Except that it happened nothing like how you describe it.
I'm willing to sacrifice the truth to make you look cool.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.
'Beneath You'
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.

Teppy, you have broadband at home, right? Check out some of the mp3 blogs, like soul sides and music.for-robots.com and 3hive ...
I haven't been here in ages and just realized that I was in New Orleans when Hec and JZ were there! Damn! Not that they really would want a mini f2f on their HONEYMOON, but still ...
I am so in love with a country-western cover of Snoop's "Gin and Juice" by a band called The Gourds. Has anyone else heard it?

Are you shitting me? Of course we'd want to see you. It's not like we didn't have plenty of alone time down there. How fun would it have been to go poking through the bookstores with you? We found a shop in the Quarter with antique prints and JZ bought a Cruikshank print (not from Dickens though) that looked very proto-Gorey.
JZ just popped in over my shoulder groaning that we missed you.

I was there May 20-24. :-( Of course, I had nearly zero free time, as I was there for my BIL's (as LB called it) "Gradulations Day" from Tulane Law. So I spent a lot of time wrangling LB so my DH and BIL(s) and assorted fambly could hang out.
This is why I should NOT be virtuous and stay off here even when I'm swamped with work ...

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
little bam bam in one of the other threads mentioned Loretta Lynn's Van Lear Rose album, which reminded me I've been meaning to bring it up for a couple of weeks, but have been a bit distracted on the musical front.
Damn fine album. Whatever else he does (and I love Elephant) Jack White deserves credit for producing a mighty fine LL record.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Does anyone know who does a sort of boyband cover of Boys in the Hood?

Eh... They lost me on the front page "with the record industry clearly hurting..."
The RIAA is constantly using misleading stats to "prove" that sales are down when in fact they are as strong as ever.

Thank you soooo much P-C. Jon would thank you too, and buy you a drink if you were here, or he were here, or whatever.

I took this as them taking a beating not only in reduced sales (which I think are over-exaggerated) but also in quality and in reputation. The documentary itself examines it from all sides--artists, executives, music journalists, radio programming people, etc. I like the show (I think PBS is playing it again, but you can get it streaming on the web as well). It's definitely worth a watch (if only to see the interviews with David Crosby and how he said Britney Spears is as deep at a birdbath).
