Closed Threads

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't have an iPod, so I can't play. But I did do a few new mixes (to cheer up Rio while she's tied to the Legasus).

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Is Soulseek downy down, like, for good? I was looking for a specific out-of-print remix, and, well, I can't get anything. No website, no client, no forums, nothing.

I'm searching for Okkervil River right this second and came up with all manner of hits, Gandalfe. I think you're just getting crap luck.

Hmm. Maybe it was just temporary server trouble, then.

Something I'm noticing: the cool song for everyone and his brother to cover these days is "Psycho Killer." I've found at least four instances of this recently, including a really good one by Bishop Allen just today. Anyone else noticing this, or am I just synchronicitizing?

Well, Talking Heads are kind of the referent band of the moment, just recently supplanting Gang of 4 in that regard. So that makes sense, I guess.

Of course, nothing's going to top "Psycho Chicken" - buk buk buk buk buk buk...

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.

Mr. Broom, would you mind sharing that Bishop Allen cover? I love them. "Little Black Ache" is one of my favorite songs ever.

I got the track from You Ain't No Picasso, one of the better music blogs out there, I think. He's obsesssed with them (point of fact, the blog's named after an unreleased song of theirs.) Article's here: [link]

Thank you!

I highly recommend the rest of you visit that link and grab at least "Little Black Ache." Seriously. It's such a "happy to be miserable" song.

I want to play.

All weekend I have been shuffling through a smartlist that only contains songs that have a playcount of 10 or higher and no other criteria. (I wanted a long mix that I knew I could sing along to while I was unpacking.) I started playing it Friday night and at 7 p.m. on Sunday night I have gotten through... 374 of 848 songs!

The last ten:

"Tainted Obligation" - REM
"3 Inch Horses, Two Faced Monsters" - Modest Mouse
"O Death" - Camper Van Beethoven
"Dancing with the Women at the Bar" - Whiskeytown
"Let the Cool Goddess Rust Away" - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
"The Bones of an Idol" - New Pornographers
"Oceanographer's Choice" - The Mountain Goats
"Whitewater" - Bela Fleck
"Silver Plate Complaints" - Centro-Matic
"Twist the Knife" - Neko Case
