Just fyi Gary, I only longterm clicky stars songs that I don't own or have access to - so my clicky star list is not entirely representative of my faves. For example, tonight clicky starred Os Mutantes to remind myself to go back & listen to whole album, then will delete clicky star at some point in next couple of weeks. Etc.

Uncle Michael:

That's my take too, Ike.

I visited the site for the first time there in reference to something I'm playing on Friday. It was annotated by the person that made the piece. It's interesting as far as it goes. It basically gave me the provenance of various elements. I just don't see the market potential for this.

Dear God, someone please pay me to annotate lyrics. 6th grade I spent almost an entire year annotating/transcribing the Complete Beatles songbook - which only included LMHS compositions, so I laboriously added in every single song they covered, and every friggin' single "oooohh" & "aahhh" & "woooo" & aside in every dang song. In ink, after pencil drafts. So yes Gary maybe OCD. ;-)

I'm not entirely against close-reading in pop music ... the Public Enemy 33-1/3 book goes through at least one track and lets you know where each of the samples comes from an how they resonate in the context of the present song
Avatar 9:33pm

@Gary yeah, that's like the Beastie's site. it gives you the samples and explains the references to Sadaharu Oh and Otis the Drunk, which will probably be useful when all these references are totally dated. Like they are today, i guess.

The TV criticism by Emily Nussbaum is excellent. If you ever want to discover some cool new shows, read her columns. She's much better than the film critics, esp. the bland Denby. Anthony Lane is very funny though... for a crusty old crank. (Get off my lawn, you kids and your comic book movies!)
