I think I've linked some of this woman's work here, she's doing a series of portraits based on puns off of famous people's names. she's done a bunch of musicians. today's killed me:
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Seriously? If our house financing had fallen apart? I was TOTALLY going to console myself by running away and spending a few thousand dollars for the chance to see Cohen live.
Well I don't think he's announced US dates, so your chance might be coming.

This I understand a lot.
This is why I never bothered to get an iPod. The thought of having to sit there and rip my collection was too tedious to contemplate. This is the big downside to being on a computer all day - I'm burnt out on it by the time I get home.
ETA, the fact that my computer is in one room, all my music and stereo is in a second room, and my TV and videos/dvds are in a third also doesn't help. Much as I love, Love, LOVE having space, there were some benefits to being in a convenience apartment.

And see, I would totally hire myself out to rip in people's music all day. iPod setter-upper.

I think there are already people out there doing this, so it's not necessarily an impossible dream.

No lie, I kind of want to break into Frank's house and rip all his CDs.

I'm definitely in. It took me a couple of months to rip my CD collection to iTunes, but every now and then I'd hit something I hadn't listened to in a while, which was awesome.
I just moved a bunch of vinyl from one shelf to another, which reminded me that I have a ton of stuff there that's unavailable on any of the mp3 stores. Might have to befriend someone with a USB turntable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Back when I was ripping bunches of stuff for iTunes, I liked to have three computers ripping at the same time.
Also, I originally ripped my stuff at 128 kbps, so around the fall of '03 I re-ripped everything at a higher variable bitrate.
