...have you looked at StreamPad?
- .LAG liked that
.LAG--Never heard of Streampad--itlooks pretty cool. Thanks for the heads-up.
- Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
Rob... i saw it on VC Fred Wilson's blog (www.avc.com), played around with it on my blog -- it was dead simple to implement -- but since I didn't have any MP3s directly embedded on my page, it didn't work for me, but seeing Sambodhi's link above, I thought this might be just the thing. if you use it, please let me know how it goes.

Ooooo -- say more! I love beautiful tarot decks. I have more than I should, but they're so pretty and so wonderful to hold in your hands and all.

Have you seen the Tao Oracle, painted by Padma the same person who painted the Osho Zen Tarot? http://www.thetaooracle.com/ And her own website is cool too: http://www.embraceart.com/

And Heather, Sambodhi's links lead to another deck I was unaware of. That Tao Oracle is next. Fo. Sho.

Last Kiss by Pearl Jam, not the original... Eddie Vedder's voice is more haunting
- Chris Rivait
4hero's "Universal Reprise" puts a catch in my throat on general principle. Tower of Power's "So Very Hard To Go" should've been at the end of "Sunshine" or "Armageddon," and it will be whenever I get around to making an outrageously expensive big-budget save-the-planet heroic-sacrifice movie. The English Beat's "I Confess" soundtracks a memory of a particular spinning-around moment from 1996.
- George Kelly
Sting's "Brand New Day" is a little bit about the millennium and a little bit about driving north on a certain road trip. Herbert's "We're In Love" was about a drive to SFO that involved an hour's stop at Ocean Beach. And there's "This Mess We're In," which evokes being in New York on September 12, 2001.
- George Kelly
Like Ayşe E. recommenting my tweet here: Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division), Point Blank (Springsteen), I Want You (Elvis Costello), How Can You Mend A Broken Heart (Al Green), Pink Frost (The Chills) so many more - great question! ... And great thread - really enjoying reading all the responses.

How could I have left out Dobie Gray's "Drift Away"?
- Michael W. May
AJ, that's Sia's 'Breathe Me'. I cannot listen to it.
- Akiva Moskovitz
@Akiva: That's the one. I bought the soundtrack and could have looked it up, but then I would have been forced to listen to it and ... I'm just not strong enough tonight to do that. Absolutely a stake to the heart ... more so since I bring that closing drive from SFU with me as baggage.

Maria Mena - "Miss You Love"
- Michael W. May
AJ, that's precisely why it kills me each time. I don't know anyone who loved SFU and didn't cry like babies during the finale. Easily the best ending to a series every filmed (and, no, that's not a jab at The Sopranos the ending of which I rather liked).

Great news, I love organic gardening because: 1 it keeps me healthy due to the exercise I get 2 it keeps me healthy due to the delicious food I grow 3 it saves money So it’s great that the Obama’s are spreading this idea.

Two books come to mind. Stranger In a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein and Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut. Definitely influenced me and still do today. The former because it helped define how I thought about religion, the latter because it reminds me that humanity is precious in the march toward more technology.

"Family Happiness" by Leo Tolstoy when I was in 10th grade. I never thought something so old and from such a distant place to speak to me in a ghetto in the midwest. Also "Soul On Ice" by Eldrige Cleaver initiated my first critically objective look into the Black Panther Party.
