I don’t care if it rains and freezes
‘Long as I got my plastic Jesus
Sittin’ on the dashboard of my car.
Comes in colors pink and pleasant
Glows in the dark ’cause it’s iridescent
Carry it with you if you travel far.
So get yourself a sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sittin’ on a
pedestal, of abalone shell.
Going eighty I ain’t scary
’cause I got the Virgin Mary
Assuring me that I won’t go to hell.
Definitely one of my new favorite movies, this had some how escaped my notice for the past 29 years. Mind the audio, it’s a little loud.
We just finished a pretty massive import of MP3 albums into our store, giving us close to 200 full-length albums in the digital format! In case you haven’t noticed yet, we thinkthis is pretty great. We’ll be working to add singles and EPs and fill the holes in the catalog in the coming weeks and months, and we have every intention of making rare and out-of-print titles available exclusively through our shop.
So take a look around and let us know how it works for you. For more details on the downloads and how the sales work, take a look at this longer and more detailed post.
UPDATE: You can now see all the mp3 downloads we have for sale in one place. Click me
Sub Pop has produced such greats as Nirvana, Hot Hot Heat, The Shins and more.
So I’m pretty sure I haven’t mentioned this on my blog, but I transferred to the Geek Squad Data Recovery Division a few weeks ago. It is such a different environment from working on the repair lines, and a very different mentality. I’m learning a lot, and I enjoy it quite a bit… I really feel like customer’s value what we do. It’s a little more emotional sometimes, as sometimes people don’t understand that data recovery is not a free service, but over all people are grateful for the service.
I’m attempting to drink some hot cocoa due to the cold weather outside. I forgot how much of a pain it is. It’s either too hot, scalding yor tongue, or it’s too cold and grainy. Ahh if only this was the extent of my life’s difficulties.
Here’s a song off of the new Foo Fighter’s album, written for a couple of miners that when trapped in a cave-in were asked what they wanted to tide them over until they could be rescued. Their answer? An iPod loaded with Foo Fighters songs. So Dave Grohl wrote them this song, and sent them tickets to his show, and dedicated it to them. That’s such a cool gesture, very heartfelt. So enjoy the songs, and think of those guys rocking out to Foo Fighter’s while being trapped miles underground.
