Okay, those are better. Although I think the cat in your second picture is actually a dog! Anyway: thanks, you all have made me blush, and it's much appreciated; we can return now to your regularly scheduled music discussion.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

With cat and glasses?
I like the picture, but exactly what breed of cat is that?
And speaking of... thingies, holy moly! Is that Vortex in the background of "how about this?"? That's a box set worth of nice set.

Hmmm. I guess that career at the SPCA is right out. Was that Kristin's puppy?

Oh yeah. You should've seen ND try to drown himself in there.

There was a whole line of us trying to drown ourselves in there. I believe I was right behind him.

Yup, looks like it.

Oh yeah, it was a sight to see!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Okay, Joe's XML'd Excel sheet is here: [link]
The Excel created XML looks better in IE than Firefox. Go figure. We can work on it.

Thanks, DX. I'm looking at it in Firefox and it looks a lot like it did when I made it. Oh, well, it's meant to be functional, not pretty. Excel formatting is not one of my strengths. And speaking of formatting, I standardized (roughly) the set up so that it's title/artist [line] description, which I thought was easiest way to set off the song from the description. (I could only figure out how to bold the whole cell, not parts of it.)
I found this paper about structure and harmony on Revolver. For a non-musician such as me it's a challenging read, but for an interested, Revolver-loving/very-familiar-with-the-material non-musician like me I think it's comprehensible. I'm probably wrong about a lot of the stuff I think I understood, but I'm sure I learned a lot anyway.

Jon! THANK YOU!
Kate's mix looks wondertastic.

Thanks for taking care of that, DX (and thank you Joe!).
You're welcome, erinaceous!
