Huh.
DJ finally talked. It was the Flaming Lips. I usually like them. But their version was too close to the sound of the original, but not as good.
He also played a clip of Joss Stone doing
Under Pressure.
I wouldn't say it was better (than the original), but not worse either. Definitely

Huh. There's also a version out now by My Chemical Romance and The Used that's actually okay.
I haven't heard any of these, but I think I'm opposed to covers of "Under Pressure" on principle.

I am too, and I'm slightly aghast at myself for liking the Used/MCR cover.

It's so very different that it really feels like a different song at first. All of these, by the way, were on a Queen tribute album that's apparently either soon to be or very recently released.

Ah, yes. That's the well known, but apparently sadly seldom adhered to Vanilla Ice Sampling Principle.

The sad thing is that shrift and Nutty appear to be working at the same place, and yet I never see shrift hanging around Boston.

Well, you know me. I'm such a homebody.
We have not yet gotten Nutty's rain. It's been threatening for a couple of hours, but then the sun comes back out. I do think it's cooled by at least 5 degrees though, maybe more. Around 4-ish, I took the fans out of the upstairs windows and closed the windows, because there was some pretty loud thunder. It's a sauna up there, now. I'm not sure that we ever did get the low humidity here.
There's an art show right outside my office today. I walked around a bit earlier today, but I wanna skip work and head out there. The fact that it's sunny and about 85 doesn't help matters.
