Week #13 (4/20/04): Filtering the Internet in Libraries
This week's playlist featured pairs of songs: one that would likely be blocked by an Internet filter, followed by one that would probably make it through a typical filter.
Playlist:
The Andrews Sisters, "Strip Polka" (bad)
Kelis, "Milkshake" (OK)
Frank Sinatra, "Witchcraft" (bad)
Magnetic Fields, "Let's Pretend We're Bunny Rabbits" (OK)
John Lee Hooker, "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" (bad)
PJ Harvey, "50ft Queenie" (OK)
The Kinks, "Picture Book" (bad)
The Beatles, "Why Don't We Do It In The Road" (OK)
