So I've agreed to read at the LITG reading in NYC (Joe! You WUSS!).
While I find it hard to dispute your basic point, Misha, no one asked me to read. I did not pull a Johnson (huh? that didn't sound right...): I neither sought nor declined to accept the invitation to read.
I forgot to mention "Machine Gun" as a favorite protest song. Jimi Hendrix re-creates, using just his guitar, artistry and lots of volume, a firefight on stage at the Fillmore East, bewildering the New Year's Eve revelers. One of his great moments. Devastating stuff.
Listening to Lou Reed's New York, and I just have to ask: Did he listen to a shitload of Warren Zevon when he made this album?
A friendly reminder to those who have CDs from teh exchange to try and get them mailed by this weekend.
If anyone is having difficulty mailing things out, please feel free to email me and I will see if I can get someone else to mail copies out at this time.
THANKS.
Oh, hey, speaking of the mix trade -- does anyone who's willing to pass it on have the .MP3 of "Song for Whoever," from Kate's mix? I mislabeled the songs when I was copying them over to save and somehow skipped that one.
Thanks.
Sorry, Lyra Jane, my computer doesn't do MP3s. I hope someone else can help you out!
I'm pretty sure it's not "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da." That's not even the worst Beatles song.
It's either "We Built This City" or something by Mariah Carey.

I would happily vote for her song "You'll Always Be My Baby", from the Camdens' Bumper Book of Stalker Songs.
Oh, "Every Breath You Take" is the One True Stalker Song.
My choice for worst is Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World."
