038 Ipod Drag Days
Ugh, my iPod is playing this evil dastardly game with me. I plug it into the laptop and it charges, but it never mounts in the ol iTunes window, nor does it mount on my dektop. This is exactly the problem I eventually had with my old iPod before I decided to strap it to a cinder block and throw it off the Bay Bridge... If i try and try and try again, it eventually works. I guess if the stars are aligned just right... Whatever. It's been a weird weekend that i'll talk about on Monday, since the week is made for words and the weekend is all about the tunes, baby. The tunes!
Since i can't get anything from the Pod today, we'll have to settle for what i already have loaded on the laptop... luckily, i have my entire "top 100" list there in preparation of the eventual covers, so here we go: 2 really fucking great songs that i will cover sometime this decade... I made sure to grab two great tastes that go great together.

MP3: Them There Eyes - Billie Holiday
MP3: Stranger Than Fiction - Bad Religion

hah. that was the first BR record i bought when i was discovering punk around 16. neat.
I was wondering how Eleanora Fagan got into "Frowning".
Did you try plugging your iPod into the wall charging cord? I guess that is supposed to 'reset' it or something like that. Might not do a darn thing, but I've read on the apple site that can solve some iPod issues.
eleanora fagan is also in "how a helicopter sounds" which i thought was neat when i heard it. i like when lyrics, that are plays on words, become plays on words again in different songs. - david
Bad Religion, great stuff. Haven't listened to any of their albums in years, 'The gray race' was my favourite, but 'Stranger than fiction' always had it's place.
If you get bored, check out [URL=www.fleeingnewyork]Fleeing New York[/URL]. They're a new Brit band and pretty damn good. Go to their mp3 page and check out the 4th track ('Blind fever (acoustic)'), the rest seem to be edits - still good, but edits are annoying.
sorry about the edits but a band need to earn a living. Glad you like what you heard. The full tracks are on iTunes + the brand new single. UpUpUpUp. You can also have a listen to some stuff at fleingnewyork's myspace site. Keep spreading the word.
