It looks like its a fax from the NSA to the DoD. The list is probably a list of performers who want to know if their music was used…ROYALTIES!

You know Lars Ulrich has his calculator out.

Wow
They need to be smarter. I voluntarily listen to a lot of those artists. Although, the Star Spangled Banner is a level of evil no person should be subjected to.
Proud father of Juan Carlos Perez. Think Albert Pujols at a position to be determined.
Where’s “We Make The Phones Ring”?
I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

Violates the Geneva Convention.

WHY ARE THEY PLAYING THAT COMMERCIAL AGAIN??? UUUUUGH!
Context, people. More context is good. Less context is bad. If you're willing to be reductive, then you're willing to be wrong.

God Bless America during the 7th inning stretch would have made my list.

Don’t believe in God.
Even if I did, it’s arrogant to demand God to only bless America.
To demand (or ‘ask’) God to do anything defeats the whole purpose of God’s will anyways.

yes, and you can do way worse than meow mix
It needs to be updated for 2009:

/feels confused
Is this some elaborate joke? Also, some of that doesn’t sound too bad.

It’s funny. I go to many motorcycle rallies across the country and they ALL play the same songs at each and every one of them. The soundtrack is on a never ending loop. If I hear Sweet Home Alabama one more time I will break something

Yeah that’s one of them. But if they have a live band then that one usually won’t be played.

But the others… Definitely.

Does the military pay for the rights to the songs? Someone should alert the RIAA.
by Wonderful Terrific Monds on Oct 29, 2009 8:54 AM PDT reply actions
All songs were purchased with CIA empoyees’ iTunes giftcards.

DON'T STOP ... BELIEVIN ...
Brian Sabean strongly encourages you to disregard the drudgery of your employment responsibilities and join him in the consumption of spirituous libations.
How about the Wiggles on continuous loop? The first time was weird, the second time amusing, the third time you start singing along, the fourth time you hate yourself for singing along, and by the fifth time you’re ready to say anything just to make it stop. (My cousin drove me from Long Beach to Malibu a couple of years ago and he was watching his 2-year-old daughter at the time, so she had dibs on the entertainment.)
... null, void, invalid, iniquitous, unjust, damnable, reprobate, inane, empty of meaning and effect for all time

I’m surprised the CIA isn’t using “Who Let the Dogs Out”. Second-rate interrogators. At best.

Funny comment on the Neil Young listserv where I first found this info:
I wonder if we could get the CIA to tree this comp[ilation]? ;)
I’d love to hear a Barney theme > Meow mix > Bee Gees > Sesame Street medley….
(A tree being a way to distribute tradable recordings to those without bitTorrent access)
