For some reason I had the Blown Away soundtrack when I was a teenager. I think it was one of those accidental Columbia House purchases. It was super good. I lost it years ago, but it's been popping in my head lately. http://rd.io/x/QVTLmDNUqoo

Boo, the Desperado soundtrack is preview only on rdio. What's up with that? http://rd.io/x/QVTLmCJc_es
I made a little bookmarklet to copy a playlist in Rdio. That's one feature Spotify has over Rdio. Unless I'm missing something? http://rdio.funsi.es/

Whoa, sudden flashback to Second Life days upon hearing Uffie's Pop the Glock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1v2PtoxwNo
Started reading about vibrato after listening to Eartha Kitt. I had no idea it was so controversial. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrato#Vibrato_wars
I have been playing oldies at the makery since 10am and no one has tried to kill me yet. Love everyone in the room for that. http://rd.io/x/QVTLmDNoYA

Someone walked by singing Eine Kleine Nachtmusik using the word "derp" for every note. Imagine it with more derp: http://youtu.be/1QHzI5HmXl4
Best of Michael Jackson playlist. 115 tracks, 14 hours, 18 minutes. http://sharemyplaylists.com/bestofmichaeljackson
The Muppet Show Theme Song by OK Go. It's extra special festive if you watch on Ronen's tumblr. The background adds a nice touch. http://reblog.ronenv.com/post/9302406447/the-mu...
The video for The Decemberists "Calamity Song" shows a game of Eschaton from "Infinite Jest." Awwwwessssssoommmeee. http://sjot.it/oVdMzX

I didn't spot any new music is Sleep No More tonight, but I did follow the sound of Peggy Lee's "Why Don't You Do Right?" to a new scene in the game room. http://youtu.be/jdqvX-n25gs
Wilco covering Don't Fear the Reaper http://hypem.com/item/993m (via @micah on twitter)

When I hear Tutti Frutti, I think of "The Brave Little Toaster." http://youtu.be/0KMV-LLUjxo?t=6m52s
I was about to leave, but then "Bette Davis Eyes" came on from @mscotter83's spotify playlist. Let's all sit here and enjoy. http://ex.fm/s/vUnku

nine nine nine, fantastic number nine! http://youtu.be/Q53GmMCqmAM it's a quality song.
The best source I've found so far for identifying the music in Sleep No More: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=229202409... I'm filling out my Jazzy playlist. Next time, I'm going to wander through Sleep No More with Shazam handy.
How to break in a new music service: make a playlist filled with showtunes. Here's mine on Spotify: http://bit.ly/pq94ZA Anyone want to collaborate? :-D

Best pick-me-up song. "Wig in a Box" from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. http://youtu.be/6kySwhkpY4I
Spotify supports collaborative playlists. Sweet. The Carella home office is trying it now. http://www.spotify.com/us/blog/archives/2008/01...
Join me! http://turntable.fm/4dfb5a8599968e7b06002cda I've still got songs queued up from yesterday when it kept skipping over me.
The Top Shelf Jazz album is now available for download. Well worth $5. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/topshelfjazz2
Sleep No More had a fantastic soundtrack. Tried to recall lyrics so I could download them after. Only remembered "Close Your Eyes" (Al Bowlly version seems right) and "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" (not sure which version)

"Gentlemen in Squalor" Top Shelf Jazz: http://vimeo.com/21458058. They don't have any music available for download yet that I can find, but I bet their album will be fantastic. Another swing revival? http://bit.ly/jRZQLj
Dr. Horrible soundtrack popped up on random. Stop everything. Start at the beginning. "Laundry day see you there, underthings tumbling..."
Back in the days before the iTunes store, I had a bunch of mp3s w/o complete data and it drove me crazy. If I couldn't figure out the correct album, rather than leave the field empty, I filled it in with "=)". I still have 48 =) items in my library.
