Not like anyone cares, but I just felt like sharing this …  
I finally burnt a CD of my Napster acquisitions, and I’m totally rocking out to it as I type. I got a bunch stuff that either a)I used to have and lost to the Great Yardsale of '99 or b)always wanted but never got. Here is the line up:

**Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey** - P. McCartney  
**Junior’s Farm** - P. McCartney  
**Doctor My Eyes** - Jackson Browne  
**Saturday in the Park** - Chicago  
**Point of Know Return** - Kansas  
**Seasons of Wither** - Aerosmith  
**Roller** - April Wine  
**Slow Ride** - Foghat  
**Pride and Joy** - Stevie Ray Vaughn  
**My Sharona** - The Knack  
**Fat Bottom Girls** - Queen  
**Jerry Was a Race Car Driver** - Primus  
**Tommy the Cat** - Primus  
**Super Bon Bon** - Soul Coughing  
**Tomorrow** - Silverchair  
**Battle of Who Could Care Less** - Ben Fold’s Five  
**If I Had a Million Dollars (live)** - Bare Naked Ladies  
**Stickshifts and Safety Belts** - Cake  
**Asshole** - Denis Leary

I even made a cool case and CD label for it. It looks like an album called “Mish-Mash” put out by that famous recording artist Jack Batty.

Heywould Jablowme. I’m typically on during the day, T1 connection with no limit on DL (but I’ll IM and lambast ya if you’re going for more than 3 at a time). Lot of TV and movie themes, especially funky 70s ones. Also there’s an eclectic mix of reggae, rock, rap, comedy, and banjo music.

If anyone has an MP3 of Hoyt Axton’s _Mitchell_ (as seen on MST3K) I will be forever indebted to you. Seriously.

You just wouldn’t believe how many Dire Wolfs are on Napster. Bunch 'o schmucks, I say. 😉 Fine, then, let’s go latin.

EHHHHHHH. Sorry. There’s a bunch of Canis Dirus’s on Napster, too. So, I settled on…

CanisDirus69

I’ve got a cable connection, and most of my stuff ranges from jazz to jam bands, classic rock to alternative. My PC is on all the time, so you’re all welcome to drop by whenever you’d like. It’s a new PC, so I’m still loading stuff that I had backed up on CD-R.

I used to have a ton of crap, but I keep having to fdisk my system for some reason… hmmm… maybe that would explain my favorite nickname – you think?  
So if anyone is interested in Gregorian Chants and Barbershop Quartets, I AM system\_hoser on Napster. My brother took my first name choice: govt\_cheese. He’s always been an a-hole…

I reccommend downloading John Otway’s song Headbutts.

I’m SwimmingRiddles! I’m sooooo excited they finally released a Mac platform. Macster is fun, and all, but I want to play with the PC kids, too.

Mostly alt/punk stuff. More to come.

My user name on Napster is neptune\_1984 and I don’t have many files because I deleted a whole bunch. Mom was complaining about how much “junk” I have on my account. Sigh. I’m not on Napster much anymore because over the last six months I’ve had it, I’ve already downloaded all the songs I like. Plus, it’s really slow for my ol’ Dial Up. When I get a cable modem, I will be on more.

From,

Anake

My Napster username is: MordantDoll

I have a wide range of songs because I’m constantly deleting songs and adding new ones, plus my dad uses my Napster name so you’ll find alot of Jim Reeves, Eric Bogle and stuff like that in there.  
But my music is mostly of The Cure, Switchblade Symphony, NIN, Skinny Puppy, Garbage, New Order, Morrissey, London After Midnight, Pearl Jam, Razed In Black, Tool, Velvet Acid Christ and lots of other ones.

My Napster name is Zaxxer, and I’m usually on in the evenings . . . as in after 8:00 pm PST. At least on weekdays, weekends I have no real schedule.

But . . . I have a DSL connection and a library of some 845 songs on-line currently. Unfortunately this will be changing soon 'cause I only got 487 MB left on a 6GB system. My new game does not play properly.

For now, though, I have …

Tom Lehrer  
Bessie Smith  
Ella Fitzgerald  
Cab Calloway  
Yngwie Malmsteen  
The Electric Prunes  
Ozzie Osbourne (including the duet w/Dweezil Zappa)  
Wierd Al (of course)  
Jim Croce  
Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper  
Kevin Bloody Wilson (not for the innocent)  
Shel Silverstein

As well as all the top 40 stuff of past and present that I wouldn’t waste $17 and up buying. I just listed some of the more eclectic stuff.

See ya tonight . . .
