I’m no links monkey, but . . .

Websites and blogs that are primarily collections of links were real exciting back in, say, 1995. Even though I look at a lot of stuff on the web, I shy away from linking stuff here; it’s just not that interesting. However, with the caveat that the server is quite slow, I think I would be doing a disservice if I kept The Dondero High School Symphony Band and A Cappella Choir’s versions of Sweet’s “Fox on the Run” and Cream’s “Sunshine of Your Love” to myself. So, click here and be prepared to wait. It will be worth it. The site it’s from provides a different obscure and very slow-loading MP3 each day.
Also, over at AimeeMann.com, under movies, there’s a delightful video for “Ghost World” I hadn’t seen before.

Everyone I know is acting weird
or way too cool
they hang out by the pool
so I just read a lot and ride my bike
around the school
‘Cause I’m bailing this town-or
tearing it down-or
probably more like
hanging around
I got caught up in “Almost Famous” last night, which was an even better movie than I had remembered, and I had remembered it as pretty damn good. That geeky rock-writer wannabe was me (and a million others like me). “I’m a journalist. I write for Creem magazine.” Everyone in it shone. There are some very sweet moments in it all, but my favorite scene in the whole movie is the one with everyone on the bus singing along to Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer”. Now I’ll have to hear that when I get home tonight.
