  • I'm with kragatron. Pre-recorded cassettes have such horrible quality that back in the day, I routinely bought the LPs and dubbed them onto Maxell UD-XLII cassettes to get something listenable to play in my car. This had the added benefit that if a …
  • Neil Young has only recorded a few songs that aren't his own. It's telling that Young and other singer-songwriters have chosen to record some of Don Gibson's songs. That's serious respect.

  • Don Gibson is nicknamed "The Sad Poet" because his songs often deal with heartbreak and loneliness. These are universal themes that cross genres and make it impossible to get the "Country" label to stick to him. There's no better example than this m…
  • Lonesome, number one
    Just call me lonesome, number one
    Although no titles have I won
    I surely must be lonesome number one


    Every love I've had has faded like the dew
    And everyone I've wanted has wanted …

  • Before I invest too much time in the task, I'd like to see a picture of this daughter.
  • In honour of it being 5 days until Christmas:

    Snow is falling all around us
    My baby's coming home for Christmas
    I've been up all night inside my bedroom
    He said that he'll be with me real soon

    So I wait
  • Won't go to church with your momma
    Ain't gonna go to the ma-a-all
    You say you got somethin' for me
    But I don't need anything at a-a-all

    I gave myself the gift of--
    Not givin' a sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh
    Don't …
  • TMBG have another album
    The Spine streaming on YouTube. There's several up for listening.
  • I updated the plugin and the warning's gone. There's some other updates but I'll hold off on them until I have time to make sure the updates don't break anything.
  • Where are you little star?
    (Where are you?)
    Whoah oh, oh, oh-uh-oh
    Ratta ta ta too-ooh-ooh
    Whoah oh, oh, oh-uh-oh
    Ratta ta ta too-ooh-ooh
    Twinkle twinkle little star
    How I wonder where you are
    Wish I m…
  • Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Hushabye hushabye
    Oh my darling don't you cry
    Guardian angels up above
    Take care of the one I love

    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Hush hush hushabye

  • @choiceweb0pen0: One theory is that Papa Doc isn't dead after all and is now secretly running large parts of the government. If the police act like a dictator's armed thug…

  • Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
    Something to make us all happy
    Do anything, take us out of this gloom
    Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy

    You are the one who can make us all laugh
    But doing that you break out…
  • The free eMusers basic service doesn't come with a guaranteed response time. There are higher levels of subscription available. The highest level is Platinum, where jonahpwll writes your posts for you.
  • Weekly assessments! Now that's the way to instill a lifelong love of reading! But wait! for an added bonus, the schools will teach to the tests, which should assure that no child accidentally reads anything remotely interesting.

    When I f…
  • cafreema - That quote nearly pinned the needle on my Ironometer.

  • I can't lose with the stuff I use
    (Don't you just know it)
    Baby, don't believe I wear two left shoes
    (Don't you just know it)

    Ah ha ha ha
    (Ah ha ha ha)
    Ey eh, oh
    (Ey eh, oh)

    Gooba, gooba, g…
  • OK I gave rostasi Member privileges as he successfully passed the VK test.
  • bremble - Even more telling is the fact that I only have the first 16, all on Vinyl. The very idea of 20 albums being "essential" is absurd. That doesn't even scratch the surface. "Where's Ludwig Van?", as my droogs used to say, and while on the sub…

  • I can set up email @emusers.org and forward it wherever it's wanted. Unfortunately it's an invitation to spammers to publish an email address. I think I installed a contact form …
  • Duck tape is a dandy choice. It has good damping qualities and it blends well with the silver color scheme of the old turntables. You should have two twisted pairs of wire coming from the arm. There's usually one wire the same color in both pairs, t…
  • I can't get the music to play faster than 60sec/min
    Add more pickup arms to your turntable. With two pickups you could copy the first and last half of a side at the same time.
  • New Mazzy Star, 'Seasons of Your Day'. (NPR)
    I could listen to Hope Sandoval all day. She could sing the phone book and still make…
  • @denver: That's pretty near the end of the list of places I'd look for new music. It's a few slots above aljazeera.com, which if you didn't know was a Romanized Arabic name, you m…
  • I tried to make the worst album in the world once, The Chilling Sounds of Air Conditioners, which consists entirely of air conditioner noise. Turned out the damn thing was excellent for blocking out distracting noises while working, or for fo…
  • @Germanprof. It's inexcusable that Faucher's tome isn't exactly 410 pages. I'm not surprised you've found that the orthographic symbols have been carelessly handled as well.
  • Talk about being late to the party. I want to comment on DJ Chef. It returned my mind to an unfortunate incident where I briefly became confused and tried to scratch with the omlette pan. Since that time I listen to my iPod while cooking.

  • I think what kargatron's getting at is, if all you plan to do is drag a bunch of MP3s to an audio CD and burn it, don't bother with the physical media. I've received some CDs like that in mixtape swaps. They weren't even sequenced. I didn't enjoy th…
  • I've had a question about whether whispering is secure for sending addresses. The admins can see the whispers but we already have full dossiers on all of you anyway. I would suggest removing the address from your whisper once arrangements have been …
