I like my Sansa Fuze, but that is certainly a temptation . . . .
Those Sansa MP3 players look awesome! - I like the way you can use the SD card to expand its memory, certainly a nice player from what I have read :).

I enjoy mine as well, Karl.

From Amazon today: the Jim Jarmusch Collection, all his films except Broken Flowers (which I already own).

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Fantastic!  I might have to splurge since most of those films were very important to me back when they first came out.

Thanks for alerting us to this collection.

I don't know how much it costs in the States but Amazon DE is selling it for €48...or €5.33 a movie! Amazing bargain. No splurging necessary  ;D

....and speaking of Simon.  S&G is one of the few that I would not mind having everything they made on vinyl and cd, David.

Oh, and did I mention I want all their vinyl in the stereo format, and where possible in mono. 8)

Case in point of mono S&G, though an extreme example:

Check this out: http://pbthal.blogspot.com/search/label/Simon%20And%20Garfunkel

I know it's not going to be quite the same, but close I imagine. And free.  8)

Lots of other goodies if you check the index at right. The guy does superb work.

eMusic told me that if I renewed my subscription for $12, I would get 75 free downloads this month. So I cashed in, they gave me 75+24=99 downloads, and I spent them up getting myself an oldies collection. I didn't really have any "oldies" at all, except the Beatles, some Simon & Garfunkel, and the Turtles, so here was my haul - mixed in with some distinctly non-oldie things:

Simon and Garfunkel: Sounds of Silence (original version), Homeward Bound (I only have the live), Flowers Bend in the Rainfall
The Isley Brothers: Shout!
Little Richard: Tutti Frutti, Long Tall Sally, Good Golly Miss Molly, Slippin' and Slidin', Lucille, Ooh! My Soul, By the Light of the Silvery Moon
Lloyd Price: Personality
The Coasters: Searchin', Yakity Yak
The Platters: My Prayer
The Tokens: La Bamba
Buddy Holly: I'm Looking for Someone to Love, Lonesome Tears, That'll Be the Day
Ben E. King: Save the Last Dance for Me, This Magic Moment, Don't Play that Song, Stand By Me, Seven Letters
Chuck Berry: Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven, Maybelline, Route 66
Roy Orbison: Only the Lonely, Pretty Woman
Lee Dorsey: People Sure Act Funny, Ya-Ya, A Lover Was Born, Can You Hear Me, Holy Cow, Messed Around, Working in a Coal Mine
Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings: Naturally
Paul McCartney (from Good Evening New York City, live in 2009): Live and Let Die, Highway, Dance Tonight, I Saw Her Standing There
Gogol Bordello: Gypsy Punks
Professor Longhair: Big Easy Strut
Two tracks from the Black Dynamite soundtrack (George  ;) one was "Jimmy's Dead")

Also:
Rimsky-Korsakov: Opera Suites (Russian National Orchestra, Mikhail Pletnev)
Ives/Schuman: Variations on America (Seattle SO, Gerard Schwarz)

Now, here's the deal. I have three track downloads left. What should the last three songs in my haul be?
