Thanks - I grabbed The Feelies' cover...
From Hec's last link:
They were also the ultimate cover band with the ability to strip down another artist’s song and strip it down to its purest, Feelies-like element. These included Iggy Pop’s "Funtime," The Stooges’ "Real Cool Time," MC5 ’s "Looking At You," The Stones’ "Paint It Black," Love’s "Little Red Book," Brian Eno’s "Third Uncle" and "King’s Lead Hat," The Beatles’ "Everybody’s Got Something To Hide" and "She Said She Said," Neil Young’s "Sedan Delivery," "Barstool Blues" and "Powderfinger," Wire’s "Mannequin" and "Outdoor Miner," The Modern Lovers’ "Roadrunner," Patti Smith’s "Dancing Barefoot," Television’s "See No Evil," and over a dozen Velvets covers.
Damn. I think I have to have all of those (if they exist) (all the ones I don't have, anyway).
eta: x-posty!
Quiz: "King's Lead Hat" is a word jumble for what band?
Duh.
Talking Heads

Thanks, Megan!!! And, hey, if you'd want to make a trip west on feb. 17th you'd be welcome at the New Year party. It's always a blast with amazing food.
That's not Washington's birthday is it? If so, I can't get away since that is the biggest weekend of the year here.

hmm...it might be. We have no official holidays here until Memorial day so I've lost track. We do have 3 floating holidays and i'm taking this Monday off and Tuesday. Take that, The Man!
Why is Washington's b'day so big there?
He founded the college, and, um, it's named after him. There is no escaping George here.
lisah, don't forget about
Pigs, Three Different Ones
by Pink Floyd, off the Animals album, ofcourse.
Btw, I expect this is obvious but I've only started doing this recently. Doing the blog search on Google is the fastest way I've found for nabbing obscure music tracks. It's much more efficient than the general Google search.
That Feelies cover of "Dancing Barefoot" is awesome!
Am now listening to the version by The Mission U.K. Not quite as awesome! (But still interesting. But something about his voice on this song bugs me.)
Wasn't that one of the answers in that blasted Funny Farm puzzle?
ETA: That was to Sean.

Okay, right! I knew it was something obvious that I was missing. I'm not at my sharpest today.

Yes, thanks! Somebody (not here) mentioned that already. I try not to think about Pink Floyd if I can help it.
