Nice one, and only a couple of cross-overs too. I forgot about the Shins and Beth Orton. I've read a lot about the Radio Dept. but haven't gotten to listen, thanks.

On the totally un-cool side, do you know how to save a quicktime song to the desk-top? How can I get these tracks on my player. . .? um. . .without paying for them. . .
on my iMac I click File, Save page As, and leave it on my desktop to save in my music files deep in the heart of my hard drive. I also use Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Hope that helps you out there Steve!

Hah. I was making it too hard. I figured it out and now I'm freakin out. There is so much music out there! King Khan & BBQ Show sounds like the Didjits meets the Bassholes. I dig it. I'm going looking for more. Might even buy the vinyl. The How have got to be a play on The Who. Almost a Spinal Tap Who, and I mean that in a good way. Like how the Rutles were a perfect parody of the Beatles, perfect essence grabbers. My blog might start shifting towards music a bit in thee future. So cool.
