But I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been.

75 words done on 32. Don't know if I'll get any more done tonight, I have to write a feathered nursery rhyme because it's being quoted in the text and I've been distracted by a shiny object. (It's a video, video.)

Y'see, I found a stack of CDs lying around and peered at them. Abba, Collective Soul, The Charlie Daniels Band, Fleetwood Mac, Genesis, Information Society, Meat Loaf. (Not bad for random from just a stack lying around.) And I said, "Hey, I'll rip 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' while I know where it is." And I did.

And then I played Boston's "I Had a Good Time."

And then I played Red Rider's "Lunatic Fringe."

And then iTunes started up with War Again, and now I'm wandering around cleaning the living room and getting even more wired by the moment because wheeeeeeeeee. . . .

Oh for all that's holy. U2. "Pride (In The Name of Love)." Live version.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Addendum: Also, I finally found Spirit Voices. Which I meant to mention before I had the U2 Moment. Current music: "The Times They Are A'Changin'." It'll soon shake your widnows and rattle your walls!

Suzi bought an mp3 of a live version of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" recently, and was quite disappointed to find that it wasn't nearly as good as the usual recorded version. I think we need a copy of that CD.

But, yeah, I can see how this particular set of music would end up with a rather hyper lilairen -- I'm imagining you being about as wired as my friend Matt was after playing an hour of Sonic the Hedgehog one night.

Tell me how the sunrise looks, eh? *grin*

But you can take your bottom line . . . and shove it.

It followed "The Times They Are A-Changin'" with "Corporate America".

Who's gonna save us?!

When do we evacuate to outer space?



(Wommmmmmm.)

Heh. There's a transition for you, I suppose; thirty years of history jumped over....

I didn't find myself nearly as fond of that album as I was of their earlier albums, somehow, though. I'm not really sure why. And, ironicly, I think we ended up with two copies of it.

How can you ask if I'm happy going my way?

And back again, to Album 1700.

It's got some different feel to itself. And isn't as sound-consistent as the others, in its way.

Love almost all that music, especially "The Devil..." I had a friend want to smack me last week, though-- for playing "The Devil went down to Georgia" followed by Blackstreet's "No Diggity" followed by N'Sync's "Bye Bye Bye" (the only song of theirs I can stand). He said his ears hurt. Heh. ;)

I have transitions like that all the time.

Random sample from current playlist, Dubliners "Black Velvet Band" to Iron Butterfly "In A Gadda Da Vida" to The Roots "You Got Me (Live)".

I *like* being random. (I like all three songs you mentioned, too, btw)

Any chance I could borrow a copy of the "Devil Went" to play for Ian?
Amazingly enough, he's never heard the original in its entirety.
The last time I went searching, I did find this audio promo, comparing fifteen different variants of the song.
Weird.

[kiya]

He hasn't?

Truly, this must be amended, yes.

*chuckle* That stack of CDs was there because it was the latest stack that I ripped to my iPod.

I'm glad you had a good bit of music, love.

So... what CD do you have to buy in order to get the -correct- version of that line? Every studio version of that song I've encountered censors it as "son of a gun".

We have the Charlie Daniels Band A Decade of Hits album.
