Hoooo-kayyy... While we're at it, why not the Discovery Institute for the 
whole fascinating, and sordid, story of the theory of evolution?  Or that 
guy with the shopping cart outside the Greyhound terminal for the whole 
truth behind alien abduction and brainwashing?  Or your local newspaper's

Probably not, but given decent care they should last a long time.  Now, 
I'm not saying it's the ideal solution and you should start transferring 
everything to CD-R. My point is that if you *already* have music on CD-R, 
an mp3-capable discman will allow you to play them as-is, no further 
effort or expense required.

Also, keep in mind that if you store mp3s on either CD-R or flash media, 
you still need a device to play them on.  I don't know what you intend to 
play your flash media on, but discmen (discmans?) are cheap, widely 
available, reasonably reliable, and can use cheap and widely available 
rechargeable AA batteries.

"metallic jimmies"
Dragees? Those little silver balls that look like BBs? I didn't know the 
name for them until I had it as one of my words in the game Balderdash. 
Everyone was sure that I had made it up.

I say silver because that is the only type I remember seeing, but apparently 
that is not the case:
http://www.thebakerskitchen.net/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=227
They are also not recommended for consumption by the FDA due to their metal 
content. I guess if you made them with a thin iron coating they might rust, 
otherwise they could be a food supplement.    Marc

It'll all be moot after the alien dogmen from Chiron Beta Prime arrive and
implant their cosmic excandescent transmodal KarmaStix directly into our

Just to bring my powerful Hip-Hop Cred to bear on this issue, "jimmies" to
me have been... well, penises, ever since the first De La Soul record
(although I don't think they coined the usage).  Maybe a little bit better
know through the term "jimmy hat" for "condom".  Or maybe not.

The KH "Hurricane" might take it-- it's just that when the very idea of her
doing that song was posited, it sadly but inevitably made me imagine
something so awesome as to be unattainable by our puny hu-mon recording
devices.

There are more bad Neil covers than good ones.  But I dig Mercury Rev's
"Motion Pictures" a lot, and I give Soul Asylum a lot of credit for having
the good sense not altering a *single fucking thing* about "Barstool Blues"
as it was recorded for "Zuma".

<There are more bad Neil covers than good ones.>

serendipitously, just downloaded *A Revolution In Sound*, tracklist-unseen,
so's to hear the flaming lips' "Borderline".  turns out, it's also got adam
sandler covering "Like A Hurricane".  it's fairly decent, believe it or
not.

"Borderline" is okay, nothing to write home about.  for what it may or may
not be worth, my faves on the record are missy higgins' "More Than This",
the used's "Burnin' Down The House", and avenged sevenfold's "Paranoid".

i was glad to hear it in the mix, but i think my favourite oddball in
the mix was "she doesn't exist".  although mr. buck should have enough
of a sense of humour to do the "la la la"s.

my history with "elizabeth jade": at the time that "jewels for sophia"
came out, i was doing most of my RH listening in the car, so the cd
went straight on a 60-minute tape (it was long past the time i could
put two albums on an  XLIIS-90.)   when i taped the cd, i accidentally
recorded "elizabeth jade" twice - once at the end of side A, and once
at the beginning of side B (i.e. by the time i flipped the tape, i had
forgotten where i'd decided to make the split.)

for awhile it just seemed like the song kind of dragged on a bit.  at
some point next year or so, i realized that i was hearing it twice
every time i played the tape (plus it did that auto-flip thing) but i
was too lazy to make a new tape.  to give you an idea of why i didn't
notice sooner:  rex may be able to listen to the fall for a year
straight.  whatever.  i can listen to the (long) "bachelorrette" CD
single on repeat for several days straight (i think one of of six
songs is *not* a remix of "bachelerette."

(wondering if perhaps i shouldn't be so proud of that.)

xo

p.s. i do still smile every time he says "you shake me up like pre-war
lemonade."  even the second time.

p.p.s.  "jewels for sophia" probably has my vote for best live sound
to album sound ratio.  the V3 just makes those fuckers come alive.

p.p.p.s.  another one they're really kicking ass on lately is
"creeped-out" (or is that "creeped-out american girl")?  i wasn't too
taken by the song until i'd heard it a few times by the band.

p.p.p.p.s.  if anyone is wondering whether to grab some of those italy
dvds off of dime - don't.  i watched two of the solo dvds - they were
amazing, and one of the soft boys - great performance, but the sound
was a bit dim on the dvd.  at any rate, they are worth the
download/drive space IMO.

For me, game set and match on the Neil cover front is Sonic Youth's
"Computer Age," closely followed by the V-Roys' "Motion Pictures" and
Scott Miller's "Hawks & Doves" (those latter two from basically the
same artist).

D'oh.  Yeah, that one.

I have a tendency to forget that one because I became aware of it very
shortly after first hearing the Mercury Rev one, and it had surprised me
plenty enough at the time that even *one* band recorded a cover of that
song.  MR also did "Vampire Blues" at around the same time, for a double
dose of "On the Beach" covers back when OTB was still OOP.   I know I have
heard *someone* do "Revolution Blues" but can't recall who... has anyone
ever had the ballz to cover "For the Turnstiles"?

He's afraid of sounding faggy.

Interestingly (to me) the last time I saw the V3, Buck had a mic set up for
him.  I noticed this before the show and wondered what it portended.  In the
end I don't think Peter even noticed it; it didn't even have that "spare
pick array" thing on it for him.  Sean Nelson had his own mic to left of
Peter's.

Word.  At this rate, I may soon revise my estimation of JFS upward just out
of affection for the songs as performed by the V3.

I have a little bottle of multicolored dragees at home. Somehow, though the

Is it really only when you're in the Open/Save dialog?  How about when  
you open a new Finder window?  Either way, just grab one and drag it  
out to make it go "poof".

When we were in mid-move recently I came across a container of varicolored
dinosaur-shaped cake sprinkles that I'd apparently bought about fifteen
years ago and promptly forgotten entirely.  Kind of a shame since I've had
to more or less give up cake, which used to be one of the staples in my
diet...

I think it's on the same EP as "Sexy S" - which is probably my favorite
Belly song. That line about "beach bonfire hair" is a killer.
