Music Update

It pays to be occasionally reasonably pleasant to people. Pete sent me an mp3 of "I Love Rock N' Roll". Unless that is illegal, in which case it was someone named Pierre.

I took Paul and Keith's recommendations. Keith's Scissor Sisters recommendation was particularly good. I already liked them from "Take Your Mama"...but he was right about the BeeGees falsetto. I am now fighting the urge to see if the BeeGees Greatest Hits album is on iTunes. Must. Fight. BeeGees.

Paul's Dave Edmunds recommendation was also good. Shank...I'm not sure if you actually recommended anything. I'm not spending 99¢ until I'm sure.

Still have room for more...

I have the protection of the local capo.

Hmmm. You might look for "Poke Salad Annie" by Tony Joe White, or "I Feel Love" by Donna Summer.

It's really a fun little song, isn't it?
