Say hello to my little friend

I think Sinead has a new album...sometime.  Not sure if people still use the term album these days.  CD?  A good number of people I hear on Sirius XMU have just a few songs or something that looks album-y but was cobbled together by....someone.  It should be even easier today to come up with some sort of package to prove that you're a Real Musician.  I'm not sure there's enough originality or talent so it's hard to say.  Still, I like new stuff even if very little of it I can later remember.

Yes, it's a stunt bee or someone has Photoshop 

I wonder what Yogi Berra thinks of "Brooklyn Baby."  Maybe someone should ask him about his thoughts on "Fucked My Way to the Top" which is a much better song.

To be honest, I've been on a XM sabbatical/boycott/meh because the XM app on my phone will flake out for no reason at all.  It's buggy and should not be giving me trouble on a Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.3.  That's as vanilla as one can get. Other apps do crash but music apps should never ever ever crash.  That's almost as annoying as a sports team that always loses to the same sucky team no matter what.  This is not supposed to ever happen.

I used to upload every mp3 I had to Google music but then I realize how shoddy the upload functionality was.  My playlists would have missing songs and then the damn "smart playlists" would have the missing songs.  If you're forcing me to use iTunes to define the playlists then you damn well better respect the playlist.  I don't want/need/care for a "smart playlist" that I didn't ask for.  You'd think it would let the user sit in the captain's chair.
