Oh, can't wait to get home for that. Asuming downloading OC eps isn't choking all my bandwidth. Ergo Phizmiz rocks.

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.

Is it really slow for you, too, Jon? The title track has been downloading for about 15 minutes -- and that's on the T-1 or whatever it is we have at work. Can't imagine how long it would be on the home dial-up.

I've been unable to download any of it, too. Apparently metafilter posted it first, so half the world is probably downloading it at this very moment.
Your crossword is quite the hit, Joe.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My download started at 2.0KB/sec. It was at 1.6KB/sec. when it finished with the first song. I started the second song--it's at 0.3KB/sec, so I don't think I'm gonna get it at this time.
We have a SDSL line that's roughly T1 speed here.
Years ago I compared notes with cathy (she posts here occasionally)--we both decided that White Light / White Heat was the album that had the biggest influence on us.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I certainly enjoyed it.

Hayden, your millions of UK readers who don't use Bittorrent might not appreciate the honking great Sopranos spoiler on the High Hat homepage...

Great Sopranos piece, though.

Yes, although the title track is the only one that has finished. I'm listening to it right now! (AIFG)

Cool. I'm thinking of doing one in honor of the book club thread. You know, the one I won't be participating in. Anyway, if DX (or someone else) is willing to post another one then I'll do it. A much better plan, btw, than updating my resume and following up on the job leads that fell into my lap last week. What a maroon, as Bugs would say.
I downloaded about 90% of "White Light White Heat" (song) before it got stuck. Gave up when it hadn't changed in half an hour. Bummah.
Bonus left field observation: apropos of the High Hat Firesign Theatre piece, White Light White Heat and Lester Bangs' contention that the Germans, as the creators of methamphetamine, were the true creators of rock and roll, compare John Cale's bass line near the end of "White Light White Heat" to the pep pills chant (esp. the drums) on Don't Crush That Dwarf...

Crap, Jim, I didn't even think about that. But it's such a great piece that I'd feel cruddy about hiding or replacing it.

You are doing one for the next Hat, right?

Will do, this evening.
