The moon... beautiful

The only Yello album I own is a greatest hits-esq collection called 'Essential'. Tonight I threw it into the DVD drive for ripping (Four albums left! And I think I've already ripped at least one of them!) and I noticed that they had dated each track for when it was actually released as a single rather than the date of the album's release.

I find this unimaginably cool. I went back and individually dated tracks on albums like the Judy Garland CD or the Gypsy Swing CD because WWII era music should not be dated 1991. So this is exactly what I would have done if I'd been put in charge of a collection.

My only friend, the end.

Boo Yah! After ... I think four years, I have finally finished ripping all my CDs to the hard drive! Monumentous, baby! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! It's done! Ten thousand files, forty gigs, Daddy-O! In days to come, children will look upon Warren Zevon's "Looking for the Next Best Thing" with a sense of reverent awe, and recognize it as the Omega, the Zenith, the Landmark that it truly is.





Um. Well, done except for all my 'classical' discs. And the DVDs that Moses sent me. And the music Cindy left on the hard drive. And the albums I need to replace that I used to own and have gone missing. But. Other than that. whee!

Okay, I'm watching the news (sort of) with the sound off, Channel 11 NBC local news. There's a shot of a United plane with smoke all around it, then a shot of the Seattle dockyards and then the Mineta San Jose airport with a bunch of emergency vehicles in front of it.
Anybody have any idea what this is about?
