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.

Has anyone ripped this to mp3? I think it was also released on some crazy-ass 11 CD collection of rarities, and maybe to part of a singles collection, but I can’t find it anywhere.

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!

Also: going through the discography looking for it reminds me how much he declined as an artist after the 80s. Oh well.

Another plug for f.lux

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.

Hey, you know that Rich Santelli rant?

You know, the one that’s being passed around in email, the one your dad wants you to watch, the “chicago tea party” thing?

It’s poorly concealed astroturf from the usual billionaires. Just so you know.

EDIT: It appears that the Playboy article, which has now been pulled from their site, was at a minimum poorly researched and may have been slanderous. The Koch connection has not been proved. Please see my later entry.
