Song of the week please...

So today I discovered that I had backed up most of the music files on my computer on CD-RWs. This is fortuitous because my mp3 player plays CD-RWs.....and so suddenly I have three nice long mix CD's...good thing too cuz I just finished listening to Barney's Version (terribly disappointing, get to that) and need something up beat. Today I listened to my "retro" files...awesome...stared with a little Susan Vega, Chris Deburgh, Belinda Carlisle...dated bute great.

So Barney's Version....INCREDIBLE book by Mordecai Richler...about a cranky rich guy who probably has Korsakoff's and decides to write his memoirs. It's fantastic, seriously...I hate drama but this is really good. Anyway, as so often happens with books on CD, the "performance" neglects certain sections of the book...now the performance here is good..really it is...except having read the book, I was sadly disappointed...I mean they don't even provide the END of the story...the whole book centers around Barney's acquital for the murder of his best friend...which is explained only at the end of the book and not at all on the CD. I mean, really.

Anyway, the point of this post was supposed to be that I had a tough time picking from many worthy candidates for the song of the week.
