I've just exhausted myself with a massive Poll but I'm curious. (Reality is that I do have a topic on the burner but it's just not ready fro prime time just yet and so I'm reaching into a grab-bag of editorial ideas. But it's not a bad one). We all have a song that does it right. In fact, there may be none better. Now, I know that we could all come up with a great collection of 100 songs...each of us. But that's not what I'm lookig for. This time I want you to think very long and hard to come up with one - only one - great single track. It can be an album cut, a 45rpm release, or even a B-side. Your choice. But it can only be one.

I know how hard this is going to be for each of you but it will provide you a weekend of deliberation. If you need to, you can curse and revile me in your email that you send your vote in.

Have fun! And have a great weekend!

Oh, and mine? I choose "Tumbling Dice." (It's what prompted this Poll?)

I have a review of the recenlty released Congratulations by MGMT for you. On Monday, we have a review of the recently released Duran Duran S/T Collector's Edition that features 2CD and 1DVD. Mike Duquette will deliver that review.

Who picked up their copy of Exile on Main Street? First impressions?

I want to alert TAP readers to the fact that I have finally put together a FaceBook fan page that you can access and join by clicking on the badge below.  What this offers is the exact same thing as my Twitter feeds provide and that is first buzz on upcoming releases and free offered downloads, many announcements  that beat our main post, sometimes by days.  We also provide a Google BUZZ page that expands on most of the Twitter/FB feeds. On Buzz, you can even hear the music stream if a stream is offered.  There are still things that I'm working on in the FB page, like calender notes as well as links to great sites like The Second Disc.  I invite you to join us at our FB page and bookmark it.  Visit it daily and you'll be rewarded with much news and info.  Of course, you'll still want to come to the main MusicTAP page for our noisy commentaries.  Remember, with our Twitter feeds, you can elect to receive the news bursts as text on your mobile phone keeping you effortlessly up to date with stuff.  Lots of choices.  Find one, or two, that fits.
