I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambéed

So the flu has finally done gone and caught up with me. Or at least it caught up with me while we were out shopping yesterday. You don't want to fall victim to the onslaught of a virus in the middle of dinner at Fuddrucker's. Fuddrucker's! I hadn't eaten at one of those since I was like 16, when our party placed its order under the name "Mike Hunt." I'd totally forgotten how the place worked.

Yesterday the Mr. got me the Deluxe Edition of Who's Next which means the time has come for me to finally put my Who collection into iTunes and consequently onto the iPod. I'm doing everything except Live at Leeds for reasons that aren't quite clear to me at the moment. I guess I just don't want to add a live album? Or maybe I'm waiting until I have the Deluxe Edition before I add it? Hmm. But Face Dances and It's Hard, here we come! Was there ever an extended version of "Eminence Front"? If there wasn't, I sure wish there was. Maybe one will show up on a Deluxe Edition of It's Hard someday, 'cause it's sure not on my expanded one. And if Universal is actually putting out crappy Gin Blossoms albums in Deluxe Edition form, I can't imagine why It's Hard wouldn't rate, right? Even if there's not enough stuff to pad it out to two discs. Maybe the second disc could be a 74-minute version of "Eminence Front." I'd pay good money for that. Well, real money anyway.

I went to the Universal Chronicles site (as touted on the packaging -- we also picked up the Deluxe Editions of Diana and Bad Girls, I'm very excited!) to see if they had any other Who repackaging planned and the big thing they're touting on the band's artist page is the imminent release of the My Generation one, which came out in August 2002! Who's getting paid to maintain this crap? I sure do hate the Web sometimes. OK, a lot.
