Eh... They lost me on the front page "with the record industry clearly hurting..."
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).
Good puzzle, Joe. Especially liked the Minear clue.
Hey Steph, do you have any interest in African music? I can put together a comp for you if you want. (It might take me a week or two, as I'm currently backlogged on burning a bunch of CDs, including the Buffista mixes I still need to send to Jon... but it can be done!)
By the way, big thanks to tina(?) for reccing The Slack Album. I've been enjoying it quite a bit.
Bwah ha ha! I'm going mad with my recent Glam rock acquisitions.
I think I need to make meara a special mix because "Butch Things" is one of the best newly discovered songs. There's also "Getting a Drag" which is indeed about wearing drag.
I might have to break it out into separate mixes for Glam Rock, Glitter Pop, Art Glam and maybe a Neo Glam section. Or possibly by subject since there are easily enough glam songs with outer space themes to justify an entire mix of Glam In Space. It's giddy making.
Hey, Hec, where's yr tagline from?
It's Joss describing River in the "Objects in Space" commentary. (I only know this because the question recently came up in another thread.)
I bought the new Morrissey CD/DVD "You Are the Quarry" this weekend. On first listening I love or like all the songs - very typical Morrissey fare - with uplifting music and depressing lyrics.
