Notes to self...

Buy the CD from the Short Bus Window Lickers, what the heck, it's only £6.

Read up on the Angevin Empire.

My Mac's iTunes includes a smart playlist called 'Ripe for Rediscovery'. Its rules are:

Playcount > 0; Podcast = false; Rating > 3 stars; Genre != Spoken. And, most importantly, last played is not in the last 12 months.

Vaughan Williams' "Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis" has wound up there! How the hell did that happen?

Though it is right next to 'Smells like Teen Spirit' and a couple of hundred others. < Shrugs > The simple answer is that I really don't listen to music very much.

I appreciate the union of sets of people who

a) Are on my friends list.
b) Live local to me.
c) Like Punk in general and the Dropkick Murphys' brand of Hardcore-Celtic-Punk in particular.
d) Have nothing to do on Wednesday 6th.

is going to be around zero. But I'm going on a last minute snowboard trip next week and the ticket is non-refundable.

Ordering from CD Baby is worth it just for the "your order has been dispatched" email.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CDs and polished them to make
sure they were in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CDs into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved 'Bon Voyage!' to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Friday, February 9th.

I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as "Customer of the Year". We're all
exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

Now this is good, mp3's of the Internationale in 30 languages:

Screw Billy Bragg! I really like the version by Tuvan throat singers. It's got a Conan the Barbarian sort of feel. Or at least, it would if Conan the Barbarian had had a socialist slant. Which is admittedly rather a unlikely thing as the screenplay was by Oliver Stone and John Milius, who went on to direct that all-time cinematic classic, Red Dawn.

Still, I'm tempted to get the Tuvan singers' CD - Sixty Horses in my Herd.

Oh BUGGER!

Oh well, there's alway's consolation in strange punk covers of depression-era
classics...

Been ordering CD's from http://www.secondspin.com By golly, I do like the current US/UK exchange rate. Though it is important to keep the under under about 20 pounds otherwise UK customs might well do you for import duty. BTW.. did I mention the moronic imbecile who sold me some stuff on eBay and put the new value on the customs declaration form< fumes >.
