Well, it is nice to share, you know. ;)
Thanks for the scoop!
Exactamundo.  I think it's great because I don't know if I ever would have
gotten around to purchasing all of the various albums just for the
particular tracks I like best - so now I have it all. <g>
What have you liked, thus far?
Personally, what I'd like to pick up is stuff that's similar to the type
of things on the soundtracks for "Songs from the Cool World," "Sliver,"
and "Hackers."
That sounds like it ties into the question I was asking Roger, about
"James Brown is Dead." ;)
Hmmm...  Maybe that's why I'm uncertain; I'm not that into goth type
things, music or otherwise.  The closest I get is Anne Rice novels. <g>
That does seem odd to play original songs, but have someone else cover a
definitive (for MTV) tune instead of bringing in the original artist.
Then again, maybe the Buggles weren't interested?
