Fantasy Theater

Steve Bissette posted this on Facebook, and I just felt like sharing:

This is pretty brilliant. NSFW due to naughty lyrics:

A cool cover of the old Wonder Woman tv theme:

Not much in common there, except both were pioneers and giants in their respective fields. RIP, Ms. Horne and Mr. Frazetta.

This song has been stuck in my head all day. Share my pain:

Haven't done one of these in a while. Via alexbot3000:
Put your music library on shuffle, write out the first lines from the first twenty songs, and see how many people can figure out. You can skip a song if the first line has the title in it.

1. Goin' to the city, got you on my mind.

2. Hey, ho, let's go.

3. Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains.

4. I caught you knockin' at my cellar door.

5. Hey now, you better listen to me, every one of you.

6. We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout.

7. Loving you isn't the right thing to do.

8. Well, you're dirty and sweet, clad in black, don't look back, and I love you.

9. Well I went to bed in Memphis and I woke up in Hollywood.

10. You don't know me, but I'm your brother.

11. There's a dark and a troubled side of life.

12. How're you going to make your way in the world when you weren't cut out for working?

13. If you smile at me, I will understand, 'cause that is something everybody everywhere does.

14. Sometimes I'm right, and I can be wrong.

15. We can never know about the days to come, but we think about them anyway.

16. Out of the street, get on home, tail shaking filly running on her own.

17. Hello darkness, my old friend.

18. We'll be fighting in the streets with our children at our feet.

19. Well we all have a face that we hide away forever.

20. Well I told you once and I told you twice, but you never listen to my advice.

(I never noticed before how many songs start with "Well...")

So, the latest version of iTunes has this feature where it'll find the album cover art for any songs in your library that don't already have it. Cool. Of course, they don't have everything, so I was left with a lot of blank spots still. Even though that never particularly bothered me before, now all of a sudden I was determined to fill in all the holes. So I started poking around the internet finding pictures, or just scanning them off the CDs where I hade them. What a silly way to kill an afternoon. But wait, it gets better! I noticed I had a lot of songs ripped from "Greatest Hits" CDs, and I thought, "Gee, wouldn't it be cool to figure out which albums those songs originally came from, and use THAT cover art for them?" So now I'm using iTunes and Amazon and Google to look up track lists so I can sort everything by their proper albums. Just so I can look at the pretty album covers flipping by as I browse. I am a sad, sad, man.

(FYI, I'm hearing a lot of reports of bugginess in the new iTunes -- crashes, sound quality issues, problems syncing up certain models of iPods, etc. I haven't had any trouble, but you might want to hold off downloading it until they update it again.)
