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.
Your clients would not be impressed if you had your headphones on, singing and dancing along to "Hey Ya"?
You would think. We are in advertising after all. But, I have been specifically told on a number of occasions that I should change my headphones to ones that are not so "obvious." I use big ol K220M studio headphones. I've tried to use smaller ones for work - but they suck and they hurt your ears after 9 hours.
I loved "Hey Ya," but I'm getting really tired of it, now. It's on everything!
Also, last week on VH1's "Best Week Ever" they discussed a neologism: earworm.
Yay, Kate! Glad it made it there in one piece. I'm glad you're grooving to it and not cringing.
I didn't completely resolve the EDO volume problems but I got them a bit louder & will send the mix today. Switched the order wha? & guilty pleasure by mistake but I'm keeping it because it gives two New Orleans tracks in a row. Also dropped Mojo for Johnny Winter's "I Hate Everybody" even though I like Mojo better. But I do love the title & it seemed like a good idea at the time. It also allowed me to add another A.T.S. tune I really like, "Another Guy on Parole". This is my last day at this job & I'm taking a few days off before the next one. On the list of things to do on my days off: get a functioning computer so I can avoid these problems.
Speaking of resolving volume problems, any hints for this iTunes user?
New Southern Culture On The Skids is out.
(name dropping) I knew them a bit when I lived in Chapel Hill. They recorded Pig Pickin' in the house right across the woods in my backyard. 'Course, that was long before I lived there. Still, I've seen them some 8-9 times (the first time when I was just 16!), and walked away covered with banana pudding and fried chicken grease just about every time.
Betsy, there's no one in history prettier than Jane Birkin, but I think Serge Gainsbourg had the edge in coolness. Did you know that there's a documentary on Serge going around the arthouse circuit? It only played here one night, and my (conservative Christian Frog-hating)parents were in town for Xmas, so I missed it.
Jon is right, too. Hey Ya = Walking on Sunshine. I predict its ubiquity is only beginning. And I like it, too, but I also predict that I'm going to start hating around the 1066th time I've heard it.
You see, *I* hated "Walking on Sunshine" from Listen One, so all y'all's comparisons are making of the no sense to me.
erinaceous is me. "Walking on Sunshine" got on my last nerve.

Well, I can't begrudge the royalties to Kimberly Rew who was, after all, a Softboy.

It's been discussed in technology, I think, but there's a way, in the newer versions of iTunes, to makes all the songs on a mix about the same volume.
