Today's Rotation (10 songs I heard during the course of my day)

Sorry for not doing this for a while; I've been away from the office where I can play music while working....

The Clash - Janie Jones
Badly Drawn Boy - Disillusion
Elvis Costello - Radio, Radio (Saturday Night Live appearance)
Replacements - If I Only Had a Brain (bootleg; maybe from CBGBs, 1984. Still working though the provenance of a bunch of 'Mats bootlegs I have)
Too Much Joy - My Past Lives
Led Zeppelin - In the Evening
Beck - Paper Tiger
Steve Goodman - Lincoln Park Pirates
Big Star - Thirteen
Motorhead - White line Fever

I ususally just set my WinAmp client to play tracks randomly. For some reason, this was a very 80s day.

Kelly at Swarthmore hipped me to the British Library's project to digitize the treasures of their collection:

Very cool indeed.

Regrets, I've Had a Few

Like getting rid of my Atari 2600 and around 60 carts, custom controllers, and all my manuals and catalogs. So now I spend my time trying to recreate my setup. Take a look at this:
Stelladaptor 2600 to USB Interface
If you have an emulator, like x26, you can now use the actual controllers to play!
