Dear Lazyweb: Has anyone ripped this to mp3?
Elvis Costello. Promo 12″ released at the same time as King of America. “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” recorded live at the Heartbreak in NY.
I lost the actual vinyl during the Great Failure of the 1990s.

Thanks to the efforts of the beautiful and talented mcbrennan this has been located. For now it can be found at my Tumblr. Go Cait!

Everyone I know who has tried this program loves it. It is small and free. It adjusts your computer’s display so that it’s not blasting your eyes at night. When you try it, things will look a little weird at first. Then, you’ll turn it off after a while and scream OH GOD NO and turn it back on, because you got used to having relaxed and happy eyes while computing in the evening.
There’s a linux version now as well.
