Frequent readers may remember my stupid plan to make a CD of music about coffee. One of the comments suggested a few more that I didn't have, and although I don't remember using this list to add more songs to the mix, about 1/2 of these ended up on the CD:

I am just finishing up a CD of coffee songs I am compiling for the people I work with (I work in a coffee shop, heh). I opted for Ella Fitzgerald's version of Black Coffee, and the Ink Spots on Java Jive, but have some of the same ones you do. I notice this post is about a year old, and I use Napster, not Rhapsody, but how about these:

• Coffee Song - Adam Hood
• Coffee Man - Calvin Owens
• Cowboy Coffee - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
• Don't Forget The Coffee Billy Joe - Tom T. Hall
• Cigarettes and Coffee - Otis Redding
• What I Want is a Proper Cup of Coffee - Trout Fishing in America

Yes, you heard correct, on the CD. I officially purchased my CD and it's in the car now. What made the cut?

All of these are available on Rhapsody as a playlist. The list ended up having a lot more "country" than I would have expected, but all in all I like what this ended up becoming. Next up: find around 20 tracks about video games...

Hopefully they won't screw this one up.

It is the year 2071 and humanity is living in an interplanetary society. A new breed of “cowboy” bounty hunters pursue outlaws across the lawless solar system in the hope of receiving high rewards for the hackers, drug-dealers and terrorists they capture. Shipping Fall 2005, Cowboy Bebop has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

It says you can play as different characters: Spike, Jet or Faye, why not Ed?

Props to Mikah.

I heard it was good. And I resisted.

The geekery continues. I found an Amazon.com seller who had the Cowboy Bebop Movie, Series, and soundtrack for a decent enough price that I just had to order. Seems like they were all made for the Chinese market, but the DVDs appear to be region-free, and seemingly legit, so I'm happy.

Cowboy Bebop is the tale of a futuristic maverick, Spike Spiegel, a space cowboy and his band of partners (Jet Black, Faye Valentine, Edward, and lets not forget Ein the dog), as they race across the galaxy on daring adventures. They are Bounty Hunters struggling to survive in a world that is a strange combination of past, present, and future. There are fantastic space crafts and interstellar casinos side by side with droopy sombreros and slow traffic lights. With each new bounty that they go after, new characters are introduced, and new cosmic landscapes are explored.

I heard it was good. And I resisted. But then, after a night at D&B's with da boys, I needed some wind down time. Low, and behold, on Adult Swim, Cowboy Bebop. And, now, I think I'm stuck. Just added vol 1 to my NetFlix queue, and looking forward to seeing the movie.
