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.
Interesting article. Actually, I've read a number of articles on the subject in the last year or so....
A friend of mine (who is some sort of mathematical/chess genius) could play any pop song on the piano, even if he'd only heard it once. And even if that was years ago. Sadly, he was schizophrenic, and at one point went from college calculus professor to grocery store bag boy....
I seem to have been nominated for Best DJ in "The Noise Poll", conducted by a long-running Boston music zine. You can vote for me here. Go ahead... stuff the ballot box... I won't mind.
I voted!
Very cool, Jon. One of my x-mas presents to myself was to get the poster you bought for me framed. It looks soooo great!
Hope all the musicistas had a great holiday. I had a very restful stay in KS. Got to sit in a combine and watch the sunset over empty peaceful farm fields. Much needed.

Ever wonder what a grown man playing four homemade Pikachu theremins would sound like? Yeah, me too.

I don't know if this should go in Music or Tech, but are the songs from iTunes playable in anything other than Apple format stuff?
Nope. Not to my knowledge.
Well, that means I save some money.

You mean songs downloaded from iTunes? Because if you burn them to CD and rip them again as mp3s, then... yes.

Hmm . . .
Was it Frank or Tommy or someone else who was looking for the song "Brazil" from the movie a few months back? It's on the White Bicycles CD I got yesterday, which is an overview of Joe Boyd-produced tracks through the 60s and early 70s. Boyd is mostly known for Brit-folk and creating the early Pink Floyd sound (he later produced Richard & Linda Thompson's Shoot Out The Lights), but the collection is pretty interesting: [link]
