As one ILM wag remarked: Does that make them ineligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?

Bwahahaha!  But seriously, I just saw a bit on Outsports about this, and it makes sense now. 50 Cent, Timbaland, et al are WAY buff.

interesting, "animated" interview with the woman behind Persepolis on this Oregon culture blog:

http://www.webcomicsnation.com/culturepulp/culturepulp/series.php?view=archive&chapter=26821

"The real war is not between the West and the East; the real war is between intelligent and stupid people." -- my new favorite quote.

Say you're at work and you JUST GOTTA HEAR Build Me Up Buttercup RIGHT NOW?

This will probably be able to hook you up:

http://songerize.com/

Plug in the name of the song and band, and it will most likely play it for you. It struck out on a couple of NRBQ songs I put in, and also on Shaddap You Face, but it found Timothy, as well as a couple of other semi-obscure songs I put in.

Strike 1: Raiders, "Love Music"
Strilke 2: Marty Balin, "Hearts"
Home Run: Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, "Fawwin' in Love"

(Which is to say: THANK YOU for this.)

No luck with Gun Hill Road, either.

For those of you who are list fanatics. This site may be funny as well as cool, but mostly it's cool.

I think there's a minimum level of popularity a song needs to have had. I struck out on Yellow River as well as Lakeshore Drive but I hit on I Am Woman. Mashmakhan came up zeroes as well. But Shape of Things to Come was found.

The CD Cover Meme group
« Reply #415 on: February 08, 2008, 05:45:18 PM »
Making the rounds at my office:

Time for some Friday PhotoShop fun?

The CD Cover Meme group (http://flickr.com/groups/cdcovermeme/pool/) has only three rules:

(1) The first article title on this random wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
is the name of your band.

(2) the last four words of the very last quote on this random quote page
http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
is the title of your album.

(3) the third picture here
http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
