This blog post lists some other dismaying cases. The one pleasant surprise is that there are no abusive comments on it, which have become pretty standard in online discussions of the topic. I'm not sure if the Sleuthsayers people have cut comments, or if a mystery writer group blog has enough of an air of toughness to keep bullies at bay.
Anyway, the music:
1. Cannonball Adderley - Unit 7
2. Beck - Country Down
3. Brian Eno - Sombre Reptiles
4. Fairport Convention - Book Song
5. Ladytron - Destroy Everything You Touch
6. Neil Young - Powderfinger
7. Morphine - Sheila
8. Reading Rainbow - I See Light
9. Lower Dens - Candy
10. Lambert, Hendricks & Ross - In a Mellow Tone

The whole thing is perverse and barbarous in my opinion. I still can't believe SYG was instituted anywhere in the first place.
It's another nice SR10. I haven't listened to Fairport Convention in a very long time, nor Connoball Adderly for that matter. Why don't people name their children Cannonball anymore?
SYG makes very little sense unless you think of it as a long-delayed battle of the Civil War, and that only helps so much.
I wonder if naming a child "Cannonball" promotes him or her being a better diver.
