I forgot to bring the Joe Boyd disc home from work, but I have to go up there this afternoon or tomorrow, anyway, so I'll rip it and post it then.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hi. I'm never in this thread, but I have a question I hope someone can help me with. I accidentally bought the "clean" version of Black Parade off of iTunes. Do I need to beat myself up about it? Buy the real one also? Not care?
This is basically my introduction to My Chemical Romance - while I've probably heard them before, I haven't knowingly sat down and listened to them.

Do you mean you bought an edited version of the entire album, or just the single of "The Black Parade"? If it's just the single, don't worry about it. If it's the entire album, you really should have the "real" version. While a cleaned-up-for-language version of the album shouldn't be hugely different, I can't really imagine it. (And I've been listening to The Black Parade a lot. Um, really a lot. Hello, I have turned into a raving My Chemical Romance fan. goes back to checking iTunes to see if the video for "Famous Last Words" is available yet. )

Sean's spy mix
How about adding the theme from Peter Gunn?
He was a private detective, which is sort of a spy, I think. And they used his theme for the videogame "Spy Hunter."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
How about adding the theme from Peter Gunn?
He's getting a separate crime jazz mix which is where I'd put Peter Gunn. Except, Peter Gunn isn't on that mix because - even though it's definitive Crime Jazz - it's so well known as to be hard to hear in context. And I've got about three or four other tracks that are similar, but less well known.
It's sort of the same way I wouldn't put "Bang a Gong" on a Greatest Hits of Glam Rock mix. I'd rather put "20th Century Boy" or "Hot Love" or "Jewel" or "Solid Gold Easy Action" as my T. Rex pick.
Of course, I undermine my own argument by including both the "James Bond Theme" and "Mission: Impossible theme" in my spy mix, as they are equally iconic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Not "Ride a White Swan"?
Anyway, I guess I haven't listened to T. Rex in a while - I can't remember how "Hot Love" or "Jewel" go (and am currently too lazy to get my iPod or my MacMini up to listen....

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
"Ride a White Swan"?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
As indicated in the comments of the FMU blog, that's probably a rip of that Japanese bootleg that's been floating around for a couple of years, that's a copy of an identical acetate found in Mo Tucker's basement. The one on eBay was supposedly in better condition, but otherwise the same recordings.
Someone posted these same mp3's last month when all the hoopla started (I BTed them from somewhere). They're quite interesting, but I think they're for hardcore collectors only.
