I'm looking at it in Firefox and it looks a lot like it did when I made it.

The main difference I see is that there's a vertical line running down the right edge of window, often right though the middle of the column on that edge. If you resize the window, it then stays put in the column, right in the middle of whatever column it's in. Also, it only happens when the browser window isn't full screen.

Damn, why am I never at shows where this sort of thing happens?

Chrissie Hynde is the coolest.

Chrissie Hynde is the coolest.

She sure is. I still treasure my Pretenders tour program after their second album. Also my picture of Chrissie with short punk blonde hair (about the time she was hooking up with Steve Jones). I think she had a thing with Mick Jones of the Clash too.

Chrissie Hynde is the coolest.

I ordered the new Pretenders box set from Amazon yesterday. I have no self control.

1. A song about touch. 2. A song about taste. 3. A song about sound. 4. A song about sight. 5. A song about smell. 6. A song about a sixth sense.

I like it. Hmmm. I'll have to think about these for a while...

Are Alan Pollack's Beatles analyses one of those things every Beatles fan with the internet knows about? I know nothing.

Edited three times because basic punctuation and grammar escape me.

It's news to me. Thanks for posting the link.

Okay, the mix, she is posted, both to GMail, and in convenient zip form here: [link]

Ye Olde Curiosity Museum and Dance Emporium Mix
Some new stuff, lots of old stuff from my college years, lots of danceable stuff and stuff about dancing, some serious drum beats, more redundancy than a NASA spacecraft, and a track list that reads like a bunch of sideshow attractions.

1. The first song you'd put on a mix tape for somebody you were attracted to:
"The Weakest Shade of Blue" -- Pernice Brothers
Just to make sure, I went ahead and put together a mix of songs I’d send to someone I was attracted to, and this is the one that wound up at the top of the playlist, just ahead of Marshall Crenshaw’s “Someday, Someway” and Belle and Sebastian’s “Piazza, New York Catcher.” Upbeat and catchy, it’s a good start for practically any mix.

2. A song that makes you think of BTVS that was never used on the show:
"Like a Monkey in a Zoo" -- Kathy McCarty
Monkeys and chains on the wall, what else do you need? This song is from McCarty’s Dead Dog's Eyeball: Songs of Daniel Johnston, a great tribute album to Johnston that Corwood was kind enough to send me.

3. Cross-genre cover song (such as a soul musician covering a country song):
"Cruella de Vil" -- Replacements
The ‘Mats do Disney, from the Stay Awake compilation.

4. Quotes another song, either in the music or words – bonus points if by the same artist:
"Young Conservatives" -- The Kinks
This category is easy for Kinks fans, because Ray Davies has long been known as one of the most prolific plagiarists and (especially) self-plagiarists in rock. So many possibilities. Here, Ray invokes some of the other young conservatives he’s written about over the years, name checking “Well Respected Man” and lifting the “Fa Fa Fa Fa” theme from “David Watts.” Could have used this as a nemesis song, too.

5. Makes you want to get high, drunk, or, if it's your druthers, dizzy & giddy from spinning around in circles:
"Moondance" -- Van Morrison
Moondancing means spinning around in circles under the moonlight.

6. Features a great bridge:
"A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off" -- Magnetic Fields

We don't have to be stars exploding in the night
Or electric eels under the covers
We don't have to be
Anything quite so unreal
Lets just be lovers...

7. A song released the year you turned 21 (you didn't have to know about it then):
"Speed On" -- Nicky Hopkins
1973 was a hell of a year. So many good tracks to choose from. I’m going with Nicky Hopkins, the ultimate session man, a pianist who’d played with pretty much everybody at some point (that’s his piano on "Waterloo Sunset"). I first took notice of his work on Nilsson’s Son of Schmilsson, an album I played a lot. In ’73 Hopkins released a solo album, The Tin Man Was a Dreamer, featuring a lot of the guys he’d played with on Schmilsson and elsewhere: Prairie Prince on drums, Klaus Voorman on bass, and two guys named Harrison and Taylor on guitars. I snapped it up. “Speed On” is my favorite cut. This was also on my list of potential Lost in the Grooves albums.

8. A song dedicated to your nemesis (or who you imagine your nemesis to be); and
19. A song that references some kind of technology:
"Little Red Light" -- Fountains of Wayne
Traffic and I are old enemies. No, not Steve Winwood’s band, but the hoards of nefarious drivers who insist upon getting in my way when I’m trying to go somewhere. The worst and most numerous of these malefactors are the ones that show up on the approaches to the Tappan Zee bridge on holidays when I need to get to Jersey. The song also mentions cordless phones, a technological innovation that is (continued...)
