I'd guess he disapproves.

dude totally owns half of my old record collection (and a lot of other stuff too). he just closed up shop, but i think a lot of the more recent entries/files are still accessible. it's the reason why, i think, mp3 blogs were MEANT to exist. stuff that is OOP or hard to locate, with interesting/personal commentary.

now (finally), to the work that this thread has allowed me to avoid all day!

Yes, this. I know GH and Rock Band do not translate to real guitar playing, but if this song were ever included, the time I spent learning it would count for something. "In a way/There is always a slight delay."

I have lost so many of those 7"s to the sands of time.

And Maura, your list is so awesome I want a Muxtape made of it instantly! That original version "Some Jingle Jangle Morning" is still fantastic. And don't even get me started on "Hand Grenade" - I screamed like a 12 year old when they played that at their reunion show here in SF.

Here would be my College Years Mix Where I Tried To Play Punk Rock Catch-Up But Couldn't Deny My Love for Pop:

"Hate My Way" - Throwing Muses
"Hellbound" - The Breeders
"Strawberry Julius" - Bikini Kill
"Cath Carroll" - Unrest
"Words & Smiles" - Tiger Trap
"Transatlantic Telephone Call" - Lois
"Sunday" - The Spinanes
"Slack Motherfucker" - Superchunk
"Freewheel" - Team Dresch
"T-Shirt" - Huggy Bear
"Hey Bastard" - STP
"The Real Janelle" - Bratmobile

It was fun for a minute, but the people I played the game with got tired of me talking about REAL music and guitars.
Little plastic buttons my ass.
Don't get me started on eBay's insistence on putting the guitar-controllers in their "music" category...
