1 - Does the movie use a Simone version? Yes ( ... )

You're the shit. Thanks. I don't know how you manage to find so much, so quickly, but you're the best. I poked around on the internet, but had trouble finding what I was looking for.
And you wonder why I have a little LJ crush...

she is a research librarian, silly! finding things is her second nature.

True, but I have had such bad experiences with librarians that I am amazed with her speed and accuracy (as I have seen in other posts and in various communities).

One more thing. Here are all the versions of "Sinnerman" that Simone recorded, in case you decide to compare them. Again, yours is the 10:19 version. I like the remix on Verve 2, as well.

why don't you just download it from i tunes?

elricmelnibone January 16 2006, 22:19:18 UTC

I don't like downloading music. I like owning albums, especially original albums (CDs now, though I wish I had all my old vinyl). I like the material culture of it all. It's the same reason I like owning books, and am not a fan of downloading literature from the internet.
If I had to, I would. But my first option is always for the album instead of downloading.

phasma_aphanes January 16 2006, 22:20:55 UTC

ah. see, I have no problem with downloading music. cds just take up space that could be otherwise occupied by more books.

That is a beautiful comment, btw.
