I suggest trying Last.FM. You can use your Audioscrobbler account if you still have it. Once you have listened for a little while it will customize itself to your tastes and play a whole lot of music you like. It hardly ever plays anything bad for me but still gives me new stuff to hear. You can search for artists you like and then listen to the profiles of people who listen to similar music as well. It’s a brilliant idea and I’ve been using it a lot.
That is a shame to get albums like that. I find it’s even worse when the same happens with books (I used to really like one author until he started preaching Rand and materialism through his stories – he really went too far when he condemned a peaceful society for being pacifists and made it seem “fair” for them to be enslaved and have terrible things done to women because they didn’t wish to fight with an invading army).
It was quite terrible. I really enjoyed his first 4 or 5 books and then this came along, so I looked up some about him and he’d been putting sick allusions into his stories all along. In one story he had two politicians that were unsavoury that he based on Bill and Hillary, twisting their personalities and making them look absolutely immoral. Needless to say, I didn’t get his newest book.
It’s been a while since we last had an LJ conversation of this length. It’s not lacking in profundity at all. God, isn’t profundity a great word? It just sounds so awkward and made up, yet it isn’t.
I still think we need a warning system, a “Put down your drink” notice when something is potentially funny. 😉
I think I just might take a photo after my next round if I was smart enough to repack my camera.
I’ve enjoyed the conversation too. I’m all for coffee-house conversation, and I don’t think it’s crappy at all. We’ve talked about some interesting things.
Yeah, I doubt I could live up to Bush’s misunderspeaking if I had all the time in Texas.
Ok, so should we use colors like the terrorist warning system? Dark brown for the worst (coffee stains) and maybe a lighter color for slight sprays?
I’m looking for the camera right now… I forgot it in the bag I took to the interview. I’ll try to remember it for tomorrow.
I’m sure they’ve gotten a lot of requests for searching. Maybe they’ll start work on it now that they have more resources (LJ was bought by another company).
Well, an unexpected event could still have a warning, as long as we remember to put one before it. That’s the challenge, not letting those terrorist-like bits of humour sneak past the warning system. 😉 Otherwise we’ll have drink-spray of mass destruction! DMD’s?

your music taste is one reason why i love you so 🙂
You obviously have good taste yourself then. 😉
oh no.
I’ll have to remedy that next week.
Are you still using Sirius? I’ve found a site that has radio you might like even more.

Plus, you still get nifty charts like I have. 😉
It’s also making me wonder why I have no albums by Aimee Mann. Do you know much of her work?
I was listening to a track from an album called “Lost in Space” and really liked it. I remember liking some of her other songs as well.
I’m looking for some songs by her right now.

lol Damn you and your dropped roses!
I’ve listened to all the clips on her website. The new album sounds quite good. I’ll see if I can find it around here.

I like “Catalyst” a lot too. I look forward to hearing the whole album.
Oh, street lights! I’m in love.
I sold them all on Ebay. I seem to remember them going to someone at an American military base. Figures, huh?
I’ll have to look for those photos then. I save nearly everything you send my way so I likely do have them.
*drops a postit note that says “Very, very broken!”*
I found that on the banquet floor here at the hotel and found it very, very amusing. I want to wear it over my heart in a show of tragic irony. 😉
I did find them (Thanks to Gmail searching. How did I live without that?).

I really wish they would implement that. I know they have it for public entries, but us secretive folk need searching for our hidden tangents too.
I’m pretty sure they do. I wish I could remember how to get to it. It’s a paid user feature.

Here’s the FAQ info. It’s not an LJ service but an outside one. The comment feature’s kinda neat though

lmao Excellent!
And the CIA! Caffeine Intelligence Agency!
Yes, the very thing we fear spewing will protect us. How ironic.
lol Of course, I’d never forget such important people and the captial building.
Oops, my last comment isn’t quite coherent. It should have read “I’d never forget the base of such important people and the captial building.”
