Lies all mixed up with omissions, aw welcome home again
It's too late for apologies, they're fallin at my feet. Just the way of the world Joe said.

My name is Joe and I am an i-Tunes-aholic.

(Hi, Joe!)

I am addicted to I-tunes. Serial. Being too inept and impatient to wade through the illegal downloading process, I turned to i-Tunes.

A few quick hits- The Scissor Sisters are an absolute howl. I don't really know how to describe them, other than that they are deliciously catchy. They twist up Comfortably Numb until it sounds like Pink Floyd, fronted by Barry Gibb on coke, performing at Studio 54. Genius. There is a party in my pants, and I am pretty sure the Scissor Sisters are throwing it.

Pound for pound, Iggy Pop kicks more ass than anyone out there. But you already knew that.

Free Ride, by Edgar Winter never gets old. I feel like I am riding in the back of a '79 Camaro to a keg party out in a field somewhere. And that party is going to rock.

Interpol sounds kind of like the art school boyfriend of Radiohead's self-consciously cool cousin who shows up to Thanksgiving dinner high on painkillers, with mascara and black hair, doesn't say much, and then when he leaves, just hands you a disc of music that is pretty damn good, and might help you get closer to that hip, cool girl in your art class. You know that guy, right?

(To clarify, I like the Interpol. I'm sure they're good kids.)

The Kings of Leon are the dudes driving the '79 Camaro to the party and blasting "Free Ride." They also have really good weed.

My Bloody Valentine- Loveless. It's a classic. I think Garbage copped a lot of their sound from this band. I also am pretty sure they gave the painkillers to Interpol.

Can Donald Driver catch a fucking pass? Please? It is going to be a long goddamn season.

Go Trojans.

You have found in i-tunes what i have found in SIRIUS. F-ing great new music you can listen to in the shithole radio market you live in. Sorry, passionate about how much radio sucks!

I'm addicted to iTunes, too, but I like buying music I listened to as a youngster that's hard to find now: Boomtown Rats, Japan, Nilssen's The Point. Maybe not great music, but brings back a lot of memories.

I've got a brother-in-law hip to the new stuff, so he keeps me up with Kings of Leon, Spoon, Stephen Malkmus, the Strokes, all that. Good to have a knowledgable resource.

Oh yeah, Happy Birthday! And in Tucson the temps are still hovering around 100 degrees. I'm glad you're enjoying your snow.

I spoke with my mother-in-law last night. (She lives in Tucson.) She told me she gets cold when the temperature drops into the 70's.

The snow melted that afternoon, and it has been raining since...

I still have most of the music I liked as a youngster on CD. (U2, Led Zeppelin, etc.) Not all of it made the cut when I transitioned from tape to disc. Still no Pink Floyd, but I am not sure if I would listen to Floyd again like I did then.

I like checking out new stuff, but I hated buying discs with only one or two good songs. Making of entire albums is a lost art. i-Tunes lets you sample the songs and buy what you like.. I like that.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Right. So you can track down the Batman Theme for your 4-year-old, without having to buy the entirety of Television's Greatest Hits. Or the Oompa Loompa songs from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, without all the instrumentals.

I totally relate to your mother-in-law. I'm wearing a jacket at night now, though it's probably about 85.
