'Get It Done'
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.
Remember when Brian Eno recorded the Windows 95 startup sound? The new version of Windows will have a four-second startup sound by Robert Fripp.
The short startup clip that was eventually chosen is meant to evoke the rhythm of the words "Win-dows Vis-ta!" and Ball hopes the sound will serve as a calling card for the operating system. It also consists of four chords -- one for every color in the new Windows graphic that appears as the sound plays. It's no coincidence that it's also four seconds long.

Apple is going to start giving you credit for individual tracks previously purchased when you buy an album on iTMS: [link]
Latest purchase: E-Z Listening Disc by Devo. I first heard this from my older brother while I was still in highschool. Every single person I've ever played this for over the years has hated it with a passion, but I love it - especially "Satisfaction." The whole album is just way-stripped down, synth-only instrumental versions of Devo songs.
Has anyone else heard this?
Nope, never have. You want to gift us with a track? ::makes big eyes::
I'll try to upload a couple tonight. I'm kinda' out of the loop - are people still using the gmail buffistarawk? or is there a new location all the kids are into?
Colin Newman interview.
I'm surprised to see that the upload place of choice seems to be buffistarawk2 these days. Is there a reason?
Is there a reason?
I accidentally posted the first Halloween song there and didn't want to redo it?
Also, when I put up xmas songs I think I might split between both accounts since last year we got busted for high volume.
