WWTBAM Bored

We are rebuilding the music library after the hard drive with the music died. Much of today's haul at the CD store was for roomie: Flatt & Scruggs, Roy Acuff, like that.

But since I won that cash last night on the Super Bowl, I splurged:

$5 is a lot for a used Garth Brooks CD, but just right for "Belleau Wood," which is the only song on it I am ripping. Then the CD goes to the troops.

Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat soundtrack

Those were on my list. The splurges were a new CD by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and The Commitments soundtrack.

I knew I loved you! You cordially are invited to join tmitsss and I in our own singing group, The Not Yet Committed, which is a cover band of the Commitments, which, of course, is a cover band of yet other groups singing other people's songs.

Although we have not yet had a rehearsal or performance while in the same state, let alone the same room at the same time, we know we're great. We are particularly awesome on Chain of Fools and Mustang Sally.

Well dang, I should be a betting person. And I must say every one of us at my Super Bowl party were pulling for the Giants.

I'm particularly fond of the Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat soundtrack. I have it downloaded on my Ipod.

SC, do you all allow honorary members? You and I can practice while I'm there. I think I'm pretty good at Mustang Sally.

One of the guitar players in The Commitments is Glen Hansard, of 2007 movie "Once." I recommend it, especially for the music. The story is medium compelling but the music is exceptional. The nominee should win this year's Best Original Song Oscar.

The hard drive died, but do you have the music on an iPod? There's some utility you can buy (relatively cheap) that will move it onto a new hard drive...

I was lucky to find a way to move all my music onto my new computer with very little fuss on the Apple website, but that was from one hard drive to another.

Ritterskoop:

I will agree with you on this one; loved the movie (a co-worker didn't, possibly partly because they didn't go into it knowing it was a musical!), didn't particularly love the the angstiest "whyja dump me" song that you hear 1st (after the Van Morrison cover) but otherwise, the music in this movie has to be light-years ahead in quality of any nominees from anything else this year; what do they have, a slew of Disney cartoon themes or whatever???

I picked up "Once" on DVD cheap at a Hollywood Video store the other day. Haven't watched it yet, but I remembered you liked it a lot, so I splurged for $7.

Also got "Live Free or Die Hard" (not as good as the original, but fun) and "Eastern Promises" (Viggo Mortensen deserved his Best Actor nod).

Already got a new iPod and wiped the old one. I was able to recover some songs I had purchased from Apple.

I am backtracking on "Falling Slowly" as Best Original Song, as I just read there is some debate about whether it qualifies. It was written for this movie, which fulfills the spirit of the requirements, but both singers released it on albums prior to the movie's opening.

Choose one of the three Enchanted songs, then.
