There's still plenty of love making going on, but no music experiments yet. I guess the list needs to be longer before I can test it out. Thanks to Mikostinko for suggestions in the original post. Once I have tried some of these out, I'll add a ranking column. . .won't that be fun?

Song	Artist	Album
New Songs:
Whole Lotta Love	Led Zeppelin	Led Zeppelin II
Elegia	New Order	Retro [Disc 2] I don't have any original New Order Albums. I just started getting into this stuff when a colleague loaned me the boxed set.
From the original post:
New Years Prayer	Jeff Buckley	Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk
Danger and Heartbreak Dead Ahead	The Marvelettes	Good Morning Vietnam Soundtrack
Face to Face	Siouxsie & The Banshees	Twice Upon a Time: The Singles

Iraqis Blogging

This came in from Tula (Crab Casa Mama) today:

Here are some (supposedly legit) blogs by real Iraqis
