A thought that bears repeating: iTunes 11 is a steaming pile that would be an embarrassment to MSFT during the height of their Microsoft "Bob" days.

Today, Imgur said to me "Whoa, that's a lot of images! Are you human? [CAPTCHA]"

to the user with the most mystifying custom title!

LMD was better known for her punk rock and no wave efforts, but on her debut album in 1979 she did a disco cover of Arthur Brown's "Fire." Uncharacteristic though it may be, her rework is absolutely killer. She substitutes Arthur's famous burning horns for a tousled mop of hair (that drove at least one YouTube commenter nuts, click through to see) and what looks like a marching band uniform. Nice bokeh!

In today's installment of Unnecessarily Large GIF Theatre: Nice straw man argument you've made.

WAT. Terence and Bill would agree.

This is definitely the right thread.

I posted this on FB, with an accompanying rant.

^ It's true. The sad part is that many of these labels (Pork Recordings and Superstition Records are two easy examples) went bankrupt and the licensing for their extensive and wonderful back catalogs is in limbo. There are some exceptions, of course. Fila Brazillia got the rights back to their material and it's all on their own TwentyThree records. Oliver Lieb has the rights to some of his work released on Superstition and has been remastering and re-releasing it on his BandCamp page, a fact that has made me happier than a pig in a bad metaphor. Of course, all of the above doesn't add up to a single mp3 on AMZN's new service. [hipster frowny face]

AMNZ's new AutoRip service gives MP3s to customers who bought CDs from Amazon within the last 15 years. Of course, since just about every CD purchase I've made from them has been on an obscure electronic music label, exactly none of my purchases are eligible.
