Mark is writing about music for catalogers and a few days ago I downloaded Inkscape to give it a whirl. The two things collided to bring you the following: parody:
Inkscape is OK, another fairly clunky X11-based interface. Need to play with it more when I’ve got my art tablet connected. It’s a little difficult to draw with a touchpad.
Hmmm…songs about museums. Anyone have a place to start? Hey! Music-librarian people, is there some-kinda subject index to songs? Here’s a start from TMBG:

The Green Book of Songs by Subject: The Thematic Guide to Popular Music, 5th ed. by Jeff Green, 2002
Heck, there may be an updated edition bu now.
I bought my copy directly from Jeff Green. I think I had to make a phone call but it was the author I spoke to and he autographed it for me.
And at least “Museums” get an entry. It’s a See entry to “Art & Photography”. “Cataloging,” “Catalogs” or heaven forbid, “Metadata,” get jack, though.

MC Paul Barman has a song that speaks of going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, called “I’m Fricking Awesome”.
