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.
But we would like to take a moment to explain why we have intrduced registration for Premium Content.
I'm really confused as to what denotes Premium Content. I was able to look up the Lothars and Jon just fine, but if I want to read about Ash? Suddenly that's Premium?
Also, All Media Guide is based in Ann Arbor. I know where the building is. I can bomb it for you if you guys want.
So, we had to pick the most widely used browser by our users (over 87%) to optimize the site for and then work on compatibility issues with the other major browsers as we go forward.
Oh my God, they have no idea what they are doing.
I mean, the goal of optimizing for the 87% is right, but, dude! Build to web standards, which will SAVE you time and money going forward, and THEN if you run into compatibility problems with IE, create an IE-specific stylesheet.
Also, AMG makes most of its money from licensing its content, from what I know of the field, so the why-register? argument holds less weight to me.
And the "Latin gibberish" is called, inexplicably, "greeking." It's the standard placeholder text.

I knew it was standard but I'd forgotten what it was called. Greeking! Thanks.
74 posts mostly about the 'Mats. I saw 'em in Boston at the Channel (where I also saw - at different times - The Hoodoo Gurus and Los Lobos). Bob played naked. I was kind of hoping for the nurse's outfit.
A great greeking resource. Explains where the text comes from and everything.
I am half-convinced that the legend over the entrance to Dr Octavius's lab in Spidey 2 reads "Lorem Te Ipsum" -- I may just have been working too hard, though.
I'm peeved at the new allmusic.com site.
Pages late on a New Pornographers comment: I like the songs, they're right up my alley, but it sounds really loud and noisy to me. Like they're all crowded around one mic and playing with their amps up to 11, and Neko Case is being all yelly. Seriously, I want her to stop singing so loud.
The songs are good, but ... and I age 20 years as I type this ... but it's just too loud!

Ha Ha. Guy Lombardo for you, Gramma. Here, I've got a Zamfir 8-track around here.
Memo to allmusic - petulant whining is not the way to preserve a reputation, especially a reputation among music geeks.
Guy Lombardo for you, Gramma.
Ooooh, you play rough. Give them Harry James. Or at least Sammy Kaye.
The allmusic apology is kind of ridiculous in that they don't answer the question "then why did you change it?" On the other hand, Bob & I were trying to figure out Love & Rockets's biggest hits last night, and the charts feature (which is new, AFAIK) was pretty keen. And I like the tabbing, too.
