'Lessons'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
The new issue of Mojo is out with the Kinks on the cover, and the Kinks covered on the CD. I liked (more than I expected) the collection of Who covers in the last issue, so I'm looking forward to mine arriving in the mail box.
From browsing at the newstand, however, I saw they had an article on Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden. Anybody a fan? They had an intriguing sidebar on other ambitiious 80s epics including Kate's The Dreaming and OMD's Dazzleships (which we wrote about in LitG).

Especially when you consider Arctic Monkeys would have a good chance of encountering penguins....
I really like Broken Social Scene, but I have no idea why they need 5 guitarists.

One or two are spares?
It would make sense if they unplugged at least 2 of them.

The New Big Thing in England. Guitar-based rock, by U.S. standards.
Not my thing, but many her would appreciate them.

In other news:
I love the new Pollard disc.
So I've been trying to expand my musical horizons lately, and I've always taken a dim view of country. If I like Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, and Neko Case, who else should I be listening to?
