Join Me at Blip.fm

BW readers--One of my fellow bloggers, Iddybud, invited me to explore blip.fm and become a DJ. It's the 2009 version of Napster except one doesn't download the songs on your hardrive, you are still storing them on a server. You can develop your own playlist. You can also just listen to certain DJ's, but also listen to the music as it appears on the screen when your song is finished playing. Often someone will hear it and if they like it, they will give you a "Prop."

I've been creating some shows for the different days or evenings. Depends on what strikes my fancy. Tonight it is "Space Thursday" whereby I am playing Space related tunes, such as "2000 Light Years Away from Home" by the Rolling Stones and "Space Oddity" by David Bowie.

You can find my tunes at http://blip.fm/bennae; also on the Side Bar on the right, you might be able to see a window of some my blips.

Come blip with me!

Listening Pleasure: Linda Ronstadt

See her HOW she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold

Once the sun did shine
And lord it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pine
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face, yes I did
And I tripped and I missed my star
And I fell and fell alone
The moon's a harsh mistress
The sky is made of stone

The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own
