9:07 a.m. - March 30, 2007 No, wait, my loyal readers know this is my modus operandi anyway. As you know, I�m in a mission to possibly collect every song that I�ve ever heard and liked on my iPod. But some songs are just missing from the iTunes store and so I�ve turned to readers, friends, enemies of my state and others to fill in the holes. Yet, at times, some tunes are just shy, and remain so. But I think I may have found a way to get my fix on some of them. What you ask? Well, YouTube of course. It also proves that these songs DO exist! I really would like to get �Love And Pride� by King, but its meager chart success and obscurity in the States mean that it�s probably a long time before it meanders over here. Some UK darling could get me a copy, but look what I found: What in the HELL are they doing to the Doc Martens? And did they clean up after themselves? BTW � the comments aren�t right. I checked on iTunes, and �Love and Pride� just ain�t there anywhere. Sometimes, a song is only available on a soundtrack, and at times iTunes won�t let you just buy a single song off of that soundtrack, even if the rest are, well, crappy. And some may say that this is crappy, too, but hey, I dig it. At least I dig it now. Yep, it�s �Let�s Go All The Way� by Sly Fox. This one I found on the site of the band. It�s �I Hear The Call� by the Unforgiven.. (Click on Videos to see it). They also have an MP3, but I don�t have the spiffy Quick Time Pro to snag it. Can someone help me out here? Oh, I just loved the Rainmakers, and I found this video on YouTube: I may have to find this record on CD. (And I did, used, so there! Not shy anymore � at least I hope not!) I had this one, �Should I See� on an album as well, but this was the only decent song on it, I thought. They were Canadian, as you can see from the mullets! (Sorry, my Canadian friends, but it�s true!) Now, just to get this song by the Eurogliders, I bought a live version from a reunion that the band did. But it only made me want the song even more. It was a minor hit here in the States.
(Yes, the album is available on iTunes, but the song is only available on the album, and I so don�t need 50 minutes of Sheila E�s music, ya dig?) Things like �Bang Bang� by Cheetah, �Belly of the Whale� by Burning Sensations, stuff by the Swimming Pool Q�s, The 77�s, Phantom, Rocker and Slick amongst others still are elusive on iTunes and YouTube. Oh, some googling may be in order. �Not now, Liz, I�m trying to find songs by the Lime Spiders!�
