That's awesome, thanks for sharing.

Seriously, 62 Reasonable Discussions and no Dawes?  Could it be the end of that Laurel Canyon Meme?

Interesting.  I wasn't aware of the Les Brown version.  It looks like he started playing that in '58 and Ellington/Strayhorn wrote theirs in '60.

I think the Setzer version is based on Ellington's which is one of my favorites:

One that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere is Bruce Cockburn's Christmas album, which is a staple at our house.  He does a version of "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" which he based on a version Sam Phillips did for a movie soundtrack.  She provides the backing vocals.  My favorite version of that song:

I love the little "Heh heh heh" he throws in there.  Great song.

I could've been someone,
Well, so could anyone,
You took my dreams from me,
When I first found you.

@avclub-b030afbb3a8af8fb0759241c97466ee4:disqus Sure, if such a thing existed.  Generally, I wanted my cassettes to have one album on each side, or an entire double album.

@avclub-a6fdefb2b99177b152b2392b43097665:disqus If I had a short album by the same artist on the other side, I would put the extra tracks there, but otherwise they were lost to the sands of time, like @avclub-1381551339ad8ecfb87a9719aa659716:disqus  mentioned.

Recording albums onto cassettes.  When I was in high school, I even recorded a few albums onto 8-track tapes (to listen to in my dad's car), when I wasn't walking five miles uphill to school, both ways.

I also love this record.  Mostly I just put the holiday music on shuffle.  The only other one I come back to and listen to in its entirety is Duke Ellington's Nutcracker.

Ahh, I see.  I've had a Tivo for years but recently got a Roku and started watching streaming video on the TV (and started experiencing the pleasure of watching shows pause while the buffer loads).

When you come right down to it, a computer monitor is an awful lot like an actual physical TV.

I have a sample of this book on my Nook, but I haven't gotten to it.  Has anyone read it?  How is it?

Thanks for caring.  Take 1000 XP for your trouble.  If you dig through the ashes of the effigy of Hyden I burned outside my office, you'll find 5 SP and a small garnet.

Jesus, Hyden, how 'bout a SPOILER ALERT?!?!  Some of us use Tivo.  You've ruined my weekend!  Ruined it, I say!

Theese reever can kill you in a thousand ways…

Good thing that guy was blind.  Otherwise, he would never have been able to snatch that pebble from his hand…

Did they ask Milla Jovovich?  I have a sneaking suspicion that she would take that part…

Another old timer!  I'm 48.  Maybe we should pool our resources and help each other keep these God-damned kids off our lawns!
