A Heart of Pure Cheese

Yahoo's Launch finally reached an agreement with EMI, one of the big record labels who hasn't been allowing their music to be played on Launchcast stations. So here I am, listening to my own station, and being of course very happy that I can finally hear old, previously unavailable albums by Queensryche and the Tea Party. But what makes me squeal with geeky joy? Hearing Right Said Fred's "Don't Talk Just Kiss" and Duran Duran's "Save a Prayer."

I've got a heart of pure cheese and I'm loving it.

Hmm. On his discography page, three of JA's albums have "on Launchcast" symbols by them, but of course that doesn't mean you can hear them on your own station if the record company disapproves. But you should at least be able to hear them on the JA fan station.

The record label craziness is interesting to follow. The agreement with EMI apparently means that Launch can add a whole bunch of new albums to their database, but they are not allowed to play anything by the Beatles, solo albums from members of the Beatles, or anything by Garth Brooks. Not that the lack of Garth Brooks is such a loss. ::smirk::

Shame on them for not playing any of your music! Really, you must have your people talk to their people.

oh, they do? i hadn't checked his own page in a while, will go do so right away. does he know i love him yet? :D

now, don't be so down on ol' garth. i loved his one hit as chris gaines so much, i bought a two-song cd at wal-mart. i'd have liked garth better as a rocker, of course...

AND he was hilarious when he guest-starred on Muppets Tonight. he wore costumes and at one point started dancing, shouting "let's MAMBO!" my kinda guy.
