At the Progressive Party National Convention of 1912, Stephen Foster - forty-eight years after he went to his grave - pushed William Jennings Bryan aside gave the voting public of this little experiment in democracy a revelation: There stood Fay Wray, a full nineteen years before she would grace the silver screen, her arms up like an banshee in the full moon, taking shots of valium and reciting the Tell-Tale Heart. Halfway through, a would be assassin set a gun off, lodging a bullet in her chest. She finished, of course, remarking "I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."

After her death in 2004 the Empire State Building went into complete darkness for 15 minutes in her memory.

The song journal is intended to be a showcase of songs and sounds from the community with new sounds posted weekly, on Mondays. If you have a piece of music you have recorded, a radio show that you've done, a weird song that your cat sings, a story you want to read, or any tidbit of sound that you have found particularly of note, mail us! And with the beauty of the internet, you don't have to be located in the our home base of San Francisco. So even if you are far away, or have not spoken to us in a while, or do not even know who we are, you can still be part of the community. Also, if you have an idea of something you wish to record, but not the means of doing the recording, we have our own recording studio which you can use at your leisure! Mail Jeremy to set something up.
