Harry Nilsson’s “Joy”

Filed under: Listening — @ 3:17 EST

I can hardly believe it, but the American television program “My Name is Earl” used Harry Nilsson’s “Joy” in a sequence of the show. I knew the song from the first note.  “Joy” is the third song on Nilsson’s 1972 record “Son of Schmilsson” (also available in the UK). “Son of Schmilsson” is one of those rare records that doesn’t have a bad song. I still have, and listen to, the lp, but maybe it’s time to acquire the cd version. If you’ve never heard of Harry Nilsson, you should buy this record instead of some lame Greatest Hits package.

The “hit” on the record would have been Remember (Christmas), which was also the un-official theme song of the Beyond our Control television program that I was involved with in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s.

Windows Media Player Blogging Plugin Test

Filed under: Listening, Tech Tech — @ 15:19 EDT

So. Windows Media Player has this blogging plugin. All it does, really, is update a registry entry. Then it’s up to other software programs (in this case I’m testing w.bloggar) to read the metadata from the registry and format it. So far, it looks like w.bloggar is doing a good job. It’ll be a LOT more difficult to do this from a web client. What I really want is a plugin for a music player that can automatically make a post without having to use any fourth party software. I shall dig deeper.
