You might want to do further inspection of Tallulah Gosh
My sources say Talulah.
Ooh! Free Amazon.com download of "Pastels Badge"! Awesome! Ah, it's live.

'The Killer In Me'
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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.

Knowing my luck I'd go to that 4AD thing and find it was X Mal Deutschland and Vaughan Oliver shouting drunken abuse about "that ripoff bastard Dave McKean".
If you want a primer on that whole Talulah Gosh sound try the Rough Trade Indie Pop 1 compilation, which despite having the wrong early Primals track is essential.

There was a pretty solid Talulah Gosh CD comp, IIRC.
For Heavenly, the P.U.N.K. Girl EP is just about perfect.
And to bring it all around, Hearts & Crosses, on that same EP, is an amazing Disturbing Pop song about date rape.

Hey, Joe B, did you see that Lethem is officially a MacArthur-certified genius now?

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Okay, so somebody (Jim?) mentioning Jackie Wilson sent me to the iTunes store, where I see Dexy's Midnight Runners did a cover of "Jackie Wilson Said." Want.
I think I'm on record as "Crazy in Love" being a highly addictive song, but does the rap break disqualify it as pop? Come to think of it, I'm not sure if there are songs with "crazy" in the title that I *don't* like.
And "Twist" by I Am Kloot has the lovely and disturbing lyrics "There's blood on your legs ... I love you. ... Twist, snap ... I love you."

Totally the wrong thread, but coincidentally I saw Fortress of Solitude at the Harvard Book Store yesterday on the remainder table for $4.99. Can I assume that this is a must-have (esp. for the price)?

It's ok. Lethem gets off-track about halfway through and the ending doesn't make a damn bit of sense.

Did I miss the discussion of Children of Nuggets?
Nope. I hadn't heard of it. The picks are interesting. There's nothing that would make me reach for the CD remote, but there are several that seem inappropriate for the concept (That Petrol Emotion, Smithereens). Also, several artists have multiple songs included. I would rather have seen a few more obscure bands represented.

Always Anti-fascist!
I *love* FOS. Although I'm totally jealous that he thought of "The Subtle Distinctions" as a name instead of me. Drat. Foiled by the BJG. I just told a friend that my new CD's make me Dylan's dream girl(with a difference, I suppose.) But with all the Otis Redding I know, what's a little hypoxia at birth?
