Songs I’m not ashamed to admit I have MP3’s of: (with a nod to Nate)

• Dead Man’s Party – Oingo Boingo (And you were thinking to yourself, “today will be the day I don’t have a random thought about ‘Weird Science’“.)
• Leather & Lace – Stevie Nicks & Don Henley (reminds me of being 7.)
• Overkill – Men at Work (reminds me of being 11.)
• Turbo Lover – Judas Priest (reminds me of being at the 7-11.)
• Adult Education – Hall & Oates (it’s a bad situation.)
• Saved By Zero – The Fixx (I was a huge Fixx fan in the Day. Member of the Fixx Army.)
• Love U More – Sunscreem (reminds me of being fucked up in college.)
• Rico Suave – Gerardo (someday Gerardo will be dead, and you’ll be able to tell everyone, ‘I was listening to his work for years’.)
• Welcome To The Pleasuredome – Frankie Goes To Hollywood (ahead of its time.)
• Barely Breathing – Duncan Sheik (Lite© FM)
• It’s Only Love – Bryan Adams & Tina Turner (no explanation here.)
• Dr. Feelgood – Motley Crüe (yes, that’s Crue with a ü)
• Kiss Me – Sixpence None The Richer (It’s pretty. Shut up.)

Almost as if in response to my question a few days ago, Salon published an article about Manhunter, the first movie made based on the Thomas Harris novels. I have to say I agree, although i haven’t seen Red Dragon yet. He does bring up a good point though—why remake it again?

Todd made a good point in reply to my Cash money post yesterday:

First are we certain John R. Cash still holds the rights to the song in question? Maybe we have a Michael-Jackson-owns-the-rights-to-The-Beatles scenario here.

Hmmm. My Amazon shopping cart (which has been up on blocks in my front yard, waiting for that Ford CobraJet with the 4-barrel carb) currently holds $38.46 in merchandise. I hover over the ‘Continue’ button, wanting to set the wheels of commerce in motion, but I hesitate. Better first to get paid.
