Yes, pretty much. Salon has a pretty thorough article today about some of the recent court decisions affecting the RIAA's lobby efforts: [link]

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.

Podcast Without Intercourse
What's this one?
It's an indie music podcast from the guy who does this blog. It's pretty good, but I don't listen to it as much as I used to.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
There have been some new university policies put into place about how the RIAA can contact university students, which is why that is popping up; combined with the new prices for music that affects internet radio, the RIAA and SoundExchange have been in the news recently.

Old Time Radio Suspense
What's this one?
Radio shows from the 40s (Escape, Suspense, The Shadow, The Whistler, etc.). There are definitely some series that I don't like, but there's a new one posted every couple of days, so I have yet to come close to getting through the ones I do like. Each episode is about 30 minutes, so two episodes fit perfectly for my walking time.

You're really trying to tempt me specifically into subscribing to this podcast, aren't you, Corwood?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
For those of you interested in both Emmett's AC/DC obsession and baseball career, I should note that he was very excited to find out that a major league closer often enters to the song of his choice.
He's decided that he'll be the first pitcher to have a day song and a night song. Day song - "Thunderstruck"; Night song - "Hell's Bells."

Emmett is really trying to test the limits of just how much love Buffistas can have for him, isn't he?
