Early ,'Objects In Space'
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.
y'all may be praising iTunes7, but it has fucked up data on some of my songs. a song by Loy Reed, attributed to Britney Spears!?!? (there is not Britney inmy iTunes), another by R.E.M attributed to Madonna. Those were both on soundtracks, but my guess I will find others as I go through things.
29 songs are just gone. no idea which ones.

This is unfortunate as I just downloaded it this morning and didn't even think to check how many songs I started with! Which was stupid, I admit, but, technophobe that I am, I didn't realize it was a whole thing and just saw update and clicked ok. Given that my library is 14GB and I've already spent way too much time on it, I think I'm just going to hope all's well.
Does anyone get MTV2? If so, could you record a show for me on Sept. 19th? It's a special all-goth show hosted by Peter Murphy and Gerard Way. (Yes, that sound you heard was my head exploding. Peter Murphy and Gerard Way!! Eeeee!)
Um, yeah. Anyone? Pretty please?
Anyone? Pretty please?
I'll nab it for you, Jilli.
Okay, it's TiVoed.
Actually, it's airing on Sunday, 9/17 on a show called Subterranean. The Rhino Goth Box is being released on 9/19 - and the special is related.

Ah-ha! I will have to let the pet DJ know; he's running the release party for the Rhino Goth Box on the evening of the 20th. (He's had his copy of the box set for a couple of weeks, and has been gloating like a gloaty thing.)
Huh.
I was reading up on Donna Loren one of the big cult figures of the Beach Movie craze of the sixties. Very talented singer who never really got a chance to do that one perfect album, but had several impressive performances in the Beach movies.
Turns out she wound up marrying Lenny Waronker - one of the most important west coast producers. Famous for his work and association with Randy Newman and Van Dyke Parks. (Why didn't you record your wife, you big doof? You would've been perfect for her.)
Their children include Anna Waronker - who was in the band That Dog. ("She's Kissing Christian"), and Joey Waronker - the drummer who played with Beck and filled in for Bill Berry with R.E.M.
Anna is married to Steve MacDonald of Red Kross.
Hollywood...
Anna is married to Steve MacDonald of Red Kross.
... who went to high school with my best friend. (Sort of, few years apart.)
Always thought I just wanted to play my songs ... now I think it's time we at least get along ...
Love me some Red Kross.
It's weird. It's like discovering Wendy Melvoin (Wendy & Lisa, Prince etc.) was the daughter of Mike Melvoin's (first call sixties studio piano player. Played on everything from Mission: Impossible theme to Pet Sounds).
Or that Chris and Paul Weitz (the guys who produced American Pie) are the children of Susan Kohner (who played the gorgeous black daughter who could pass in Imitation of Life).
who was in the band That Dog.
That was the media hook for That Dog -- that they were all kids of famous music people. Other members were the Hayden sisters (Petra, et al), who were the spawn of Charlie.
