Simon ,'Jaynestown'
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.
Well, after dinking around on the site and listening to some MP3s, I bought the cd. If you buy the cd online, they send you a Sooper Sekrit password to access the part of the website where you can download the whole album (thus not having to wait for the postal service to give you your cd. As someone who isn't very patient, I approve).
The music sounds like a mixture of Delirium, The Changelings, and Rasputina. Which means I have probably found a new favorite artist.
Ah, I feel so proud to be a Scorpio.
Hey Alicia K, do you have the liner notes to your frankenmix CD online anywhere? I seem to have lost the track listing, and you and Plei are the only people whose liner notes are not collected for my convenience here!
Kate! I'm listening to "Save Me" right now in your honor. It's such a great song.
And tommyrot (I checked out your mix), if you like Exile-style Liz Phair, I suggest you check out Amy Miles. Actually, I suggest any NYCistas check out Amy Miles, cause she plays a lot of free shows all the time and I can never go to them because I am not in New York. Go on my behalf.

Ah, the Clexy goodness. Now I feel all nostalgic for first-season Smallville...
Oh, crap, I don't think I have them anymore. Darn my shortsightedness. Does anyone else have a copy of my notes they could send to Kate?
edited because my sight was short, not my sides
I don't actually need the full liner notes, just the tracklisting, if that helps...?
Edit: OK, actually, I reconstructed most of it from memory (and Google), so the only tracks I need titles & artists for are: 2, 3, 8, and 14 (and I know 3 is something from Star Wars, I just don't know which part). This is, by the way, an awesome CD. I got it in the mail just as I was in the midst of moving at the beginning of February, and I remember painting my living room-to-be a bright, sunny yellow while listening to "Black Coffee in Bed" and "Steal My Sunshine". Good stuff.
Crud. I didn't keep a copy for myself, so I'm stumped. Sorry!
The Star Wars track, I think, is "The Force Theme."
Glad you like it, though!

Excellent, thank you! And no worries about the rest of it. I'm hoping whoever has it at the moment will be able to look up those few missing tracks for me.
You know, somewhere out there is software that can take any song (mp3 or whatever) and analyise it and then look up the song name, artist, etc. Basicaly it determines a uniqe ID for every song based on the song's sound characteristics.
One of these days I've been meaning to play with it. If anyone's interested I'll try to find the URL.
Or, if you can quote a blurb or a lyric from the songs in question, I can tell you what they are.
