\"CovetedI don’t ever download any music off the Internet, legal or otherwise, because we already have about 500 albums and 300 CD’s that we don’t ever listen to. But I do listen to the radio when I’m in my car, and I really like this stupid song that’s a remake of the Gloria Gaynor classic I Will Survive<\/i>, which I hated, but it’s a little faster and a little more hip-hop, and it’s got a new chorus that goes something like ‘This love has taken its toll on me. You said, “Good-bye,” too many times before,’ and I’ve heard it something like 5 or 6 times, and I’ll be darned if they’ll ever tell me who it’s by.<\/p>\n

So here’s a big ol’ clue for the RIAA: Stop suing kids for downloading Eminem bootlegs and try to get the radio stations to tell me who the songs are by so I can go out and buy their records!<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

While I’m doh!-ing, here’s one for the think tank at the Microsoft campus: It would be really cool if when I get an HTML formatted message in Outlook, the status line would show me the URL for a link in the message body the way IE does. Seems like an easy thing.<\/p>\n

\n

By the way, here’s a recycled post with links to some songs that I’ve recorded over the years. I have around 10 times the number of vistors I had when I originally posted this, so maybe someone will find something to enjoy, and please remember, bloggers live for comments.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tI Don’t Love You No More<\/a>
\n\t\t\t<\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tA lighthearted country ditty.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\tWhy Are We All So Afraid?<\/a>
\n\t\t\t<\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tReally cool guitar – good lyrics & good atmosphere provided by my brother Kevin.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\tAll I Ever Wanna Do<\/a>
\n\t\t\t<\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tGood song – the girl I wrote it for was unimpressed, but that’s OK – I like it. Not a very good recording, though.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\tCouples & Money<\/a>
\n\t\t\t<\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tVery nice, bouncy little Beatlesque thing. Actually appears on a commercial audiobook by the same name, in a slightly different studio recording that’s not as good.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\tGo with the Flow<\/a>
\n\t\t\t<\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMajor Lennon-ish production number.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\tFor Chaaya<\/a>
\n\t\t\t<\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tVery real sounding classical guitar piece, but it ain’t live – it’s Memorex. Even when I actually played this many years ago, I used several tracks.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\tSometimes It’s Hard<\/a>
\n\t\t\t<\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThis may well be the best thing I’ve ever come up with.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\tLevi’s 501 Ad<\/a>
\n\t\t\t<\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThis was back in the days when Sasson jeans was running an ad where Elton John sang ‘Sassons mean so much.’ I actually sent it to Levi’s via Foote, Cone & Belding, and they sent it back registered mail with a copy of their unsolicited ideas policy.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\tLook Around<\/a>
\n\t\t\t<\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAnother Lennon song I tried to write.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\tNo Woman Blues<\/a><\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhat it says.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tOut in the Rain<\/a><\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThis is my first big piano<\/i> number from when we got my mother-in-law’s old piano a few years ago.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tSeparation<\/a><\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t20-something angst about a long-distance romance. Nice pseudo-classical acoustic solo piece played live.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\tI’m So in Love with You<\/a><\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThis may be my most elaborate production number to date.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\tTon of Pain<\/a><\/b>\n\t\t<\/td>\n

\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAnother light-hearted country piece.\n\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
