Currently: nothing. D---ed WinAmp refuses to let me upload any music from my c.d.s! I found this out after my brother gave me a MP3 player for Christmas...

Well, now that you mention it, I think I meant to type "MediaPlayer". I need to get a hold of someone who knows more about diagnosing a computer problem than I to take a look at it. (I am afraid I will break something else trying to fix it...

)

Well, in 2003 my friend introduced me to Burning Man for the first time. She selected Laurie Anderson's album, "The Ugly One with the Jewels" which I always hold close to my heart on the trip. I now have more of her work and enjoy that too.

Then there's Kimya Dawson's "Lullaby for the Taken" ... let me start from the beginning, drawing directly from my own website. In April 2001, I went to The Bug Jar (a Rochester, NY bar and music staple) and got to see Andras Jones and The Sandman</B>. Andras is an acoustic folk soloist and Chris Sand is Sandman, "Montana's Rappin' Cowboy." Anyway, Andras (who was exposed by Chris as a guy who gets gigs in B-movies for money ... at least he used to ... and his most famous role was the guy who gets killed on the toilet in A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The Dream Master) has gone on to start this thing called Radio8Ball in Olympia, Washington. The gist is that you call in with a question and he flips through the CD's. You tell him when to stop and he'll pick the CD, put it on, and play the first random track from the shuffle feature on the CD player. Then you discuss in what way the song answered the question.

The idea is fucking brilliant.

So I called in and explained my dilemma about Burning Man in December, 2004. See, I had a great time at the event in my first year, but it was painfully challenging to actually get there. More important, though, is that I kept declaring myself undecided, but I was also making plans to gut my little Civic to provide more storage and a place to sleep, and started to design art projects to put up. So I asked the Oracle, "Should I go to Burning Man in 2005?" My song was "Lullaby for the Taken" by Kimya Dawson off her album, Hidden Vagenda. It had lines like "if I don't leave my room I'll be consumed by the doom and gloom," and "little baby so far away, we hope you can come home soon." We discussed it and agreed it meant I should go.

"Dirt Road Blues" from Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan,

because of this line :

i been pacin' round the room, hopin' maybe she'll come back,
and i been prayin' for salvation, lord, layin' round in a one-room country shack.

that whole album's great. Blood on the Tracks, too. i love that image. like, BAM.

I think this year I'll be blasting Scottish murder ballads from the 'Cruiser.

thanks! awesome story...and awesome idea for a radio show! is that on a college radio station or something?

tracy thorne is the lead singer of everything but the girl, and that song "grand canyon" has lyrics like "boy i think you've come home, open up the door and step inside...so many people who feel the way you do..." really the whole song just makes me think about Burning Man, and its got that chill techno beat that is classic EBTG...every time i hear it i get excited all over again!!

It's on Tuesday nights from 6 to 8 PM (PST) on KAOS 89.3 FM in Olympia, Washington. They also broadcast a live feed on the Internet.

I always think of Burning Man when I hear "Rocked By Rape" by the Evolution Control Committee- Despite the title, it's a hilarious mashup of Dan Rather and "Back In Black". First heard it on BMIR the first year I came to the playa.
"Fast Man Raider Man" by Frank Black was the soundtrack to my drive home last year. If it had been on LP, I'd have worn the grooves off.

This will be the first year that I'll actually have to consider what tunes to bring for on-playa play...I've been in Hushville until this year, and contented myself with BMIR at micro-volume.
