Exquisite Codec An mp3 theme for the day: Try to continue on with some element from the song before.
So, when I post, say, "Cherry Bomb," by Magnapop, reply with "Cherry Bomb" by Joan Jett or "Summer Cherry Ghosts" by Tim Monger, or... Well, you get the idea. Should be connected by artist name or song name (or general theme. As time goes on, the connections can get looser...)→[More:]And yes, this really is just an excuse for me to try and score Joan Jett's Cherry Bomb, which I've wanted for a while and haven't been able to find...

Oh. Damn. Sorry. I'm at work and my music selection here is limited. And I'm sure bandwidth is monitored. :(

posted by Zack_Replica 04 August | 14:28

Heh. Well, you can either wait or use a gmail account to do the yousendits and pretend that it's work related...

Or maybe it's not... anyways, here's Night Boat to Cairo - Madness

posted by Zack_Replica 04 August | 14:37

Sorry, no mp3s here either. I don't have a single one on my work computer. Are you saying you don't want us to play until we have some MP3s to link to?

Why, I oughta...
