You want diversity? How about Mary Wells to the Sex Pistols to CSN&Y to Wilco? That's what I love about iTunes.

Peregrinations, (yes, diversity) with a nice anniversary disk(a 10th for your house's 10th, George and Amy), spoken word, New Jersey, Channukah (Check out Ira's report on their at eight days), and Neko in your stocking.
We are nothing if not diverse.
That said, I have a thing about CSN and sometimes ask Y why.
Is it just my evil desires, or does Neko in your stocking sound dirty?
And yes, I checked out the 8 nights of Yo La at Maxwells. Have to make it to one of those of these years. At least I have several YLT at Maxwells New Year's Eves to remember.
That said, I have a thing about CSN and sometimes ask Y why.
I'm guessing it's not a particularly good thing. That's all right -- everybody has their own likes and dislikes. Tom tried to shame me a while back for having Simon & Garfunkel on my iTunes list, but in that regard, I'm shameless. I'm old, I still listen to most of the music I grew up with, and I apologize to no one about it.
Here's the list I posted at New! Tbogg:
Husker Du - No Promise Have I Made
Cracker - Low
84 Rooms - Tell Me All About Her
Shonen Knife - My Favorite Town Osaka
Johnny & the Hurricanes - Buckeye
New Order - Mesh
Kristin Hersh - Trouble
Thin White Rope - Sack Full of Silver
Ultravox - Blue Light
Velvet Underground - Waiting for the Man
(Speaking of Tbogg, were you the one who corrected him on the Bryan Ferry?)
No apologies necessary, Generik. Just don't play CSN when I'm around.
Tom, great list, especially that Knife cut, one of my favorites of theirs. And yes, that was me over at TBogg. Somehow when I first registered at FDL I didn't see I should put my URL in and now it won't let me even when I "update" my profile.
Alex Chilton did B.A.B.Y.?
Steve, Chilton does a great version on Feudalist Tarts.
