I was born a prisoner in your dungeon of flesh, oh yeah
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
Solitary confinement underneath your dress, oh yeah
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
But i broke those shackles, I bent those bars I got out the van and drove away in my car.

I got a new girl now, she dont understand me but she’s getting hot now

And she’s white (white)
She is so white, shes white like the light never like the night
Shes white (white) she is so white
I was born to excite her, she could never be whiter toniiii-iight.

My nominee for the first fucker ta fire when the dem prez takes office come November:

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Navy Adm. Michael G. Mullen, said the U.S. political transition will be “extraordinarily challenging,” particularly as the military is engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan and faces interference in both countries from Iran.

“Iran is not going away,” Mullen said. “We need to be strong and really in the deterrent mode, to not be very predictable” regarding Iran, he said in a meeting with editors and reporters at The Washington Post.

Mullen spoke on a day when Pentagon officials announced that a second U.S. aircraft carrier group, the USS Lincoln, had arrived in the Persian Gulf for a brief overlap with another carrier. Having two carriers in the Gulf will provide additional air power for strikes and reconnaissance in the combat zone, giving commanders added flexibility, said Lt. Gen. Carter F. Ham, the Joint Staff operations chief. “It allows us, also, to demonstrate to our friends and allies in the region a commitment to security in the region,” he said.

Something in the Wind - Nirvana
The Weight of Lies - The Avett Brother
Submission - Sex Pistols
Breaking’ the Law - The New Pornographers
Twin Guitar Special - Bob Wills
Sleep On - Allison Krauss
Ice Skating - The Galactic Heros

I really do wish that there was such a thing as a “Don’t Playlist” that would keep certain songs from coming up at random.

i think there’s a flag you can set in the song’s Info screen that will exclude it from a shuffle.

My iPod has been taken over by the 1980’s:

1. Planet Claire - B-52’s
2. Super Disco Breakin’ - Beastie Boys
3. King Without a Crown - ABC (I had no idea this was on there)

6. Le Disko - Shiny Toy Guns
7. Grandbags Funeral - Happy Mondays
8. Hard Days Night - Beatles
9. La Vida Tombola - Manu Chao
10. Count Basic/Speechless - Kruder and Dorfmeister

lucky 11: Down Slow - Moby

I really do wish that there was such a thing as a “Don’t Playlist” that would keep certain songs from coming up at random.

Two words: smart playlists. For a while, I was using a smart playlist in which frequency of play depended on the song’s rating (# of stars). I set up a playlist for each rating, e.g., “Rating > 1 star or last played > 6 months ago”, “Rating >2 stars or last played > 3 months ago”, etc; then created a master playlist that was the intersection set of those playlists.

Or you could just check the box in the playlist edit screen that says ‘play only checked songs’ and uncheck the songs you don’t want to play. But that’s not as much fun.

T- Poi Dog’s version of Roky Erickson’s “I Just Had To Tell You,” is pretty sweet.

It’s okay, but there’s much better stuff on that CD. Sister Double Happiness’ cover of Two Headed Dog? The Judybats doing She Lives (in a Time of Her Own)? Even Thin White Rope’s camped-out (but really no campier than the original) Burn the Flames is pretty great.

Heartbreaker- Pat Benetar
Destination Unknown- Missing Persons
To Be a Captain- David Costabile from the musical Titanic
Ruiner- Nine Inch Nails
If you Could See Her Through My Eyes- Alan Cumming from the revival of Cabaret
Every Day a Little Death- Patricia Elliott & Victoria Mallory from A Little Night Music
