Jayne ,'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.
“An Occasional Man” Jeri Southern. For Rebecca. “I’ve got an island in the Pacific. Ev’rything about is terrific. I’ve got papayas, peaches, sandy beaches and… an occasional man.”
I love this song, though my favorite version is Anita O'Day backed by Cal Tjader.
"Working in the Coal Mine" was the theme for the show Working.
My CD disappeared over the weekend. No idea where it is. I just reburned and finished the case and it will be in the mail this afternoon.
My CD is in the mail! Is it supposed to be a surprise who initially gets whose CD? Mine went to Hayden .
Well as long as 500 is just sitting there...
And now for some content: My mix was mailed today.
I just wanted to add a little bit of personal knowledge in case there was any doubt.
Ah, gotcha. I felt bad about it 'cos I really like MLL.
Question for iTunes users: When listening to my CD, I noticed that the volume on some songs was noticeably louder or softer than on the preceding or following track. Is there any way to adjust things in iTunes so that whoever winds up with the CD won't have to constantly adjust the volume while listening?
Secret message for Jon: WOO FUCKIN' HOO! When I read your liner notes, I was hoping I'd be early in line.
Joe, I can't wait to hear your mix. The whole EDO thing is mega-cool, for both the Lethem and Exley connections.
Edit -- oh yeah, my mix went out today.
The whole EDO thing is mega-cool
This may be pointing out the obvious, hayden, but EDO is Eliot's band. The other choice for book/movie connection was "This Is Your Life, Boris Karloff," which he wrote around the same time he wrote "Exley". It would have been appropriate for a Frankenmix CD. Exley, OTOH, has the advantage of being well under two minutes. He sent me your email exchange; very amusing.
EDO is Eliot's band.
Should I know who Eliot is? I've never heard of EDO.
I was much busier this weekend than I intended to be, so I'm gonna reburn mine tonight and send it out tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. I received Alicia's CD on Saturday and haven't even had time to listen to it yet! Really looking forward to it, though.
