Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
On eMusic, 'Parts & Labor' have a separate listing from 'Parts And Labor'.
I noticed that too, tommyrot. Both the "and" and the "&" versions of Parts and Labor are the same band. And both albums (Stay Afraid and Mapmaker) are great.
Spoon's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga (that's the one you're talking about, right?)
Yes. Sasha Frere-Jones says it sounds like the Pixies (he likes the album) but I think it just sounds like Spoon. A good album all around.
I like both of those albums, too. I especially dig Parts & Labor's cover of the Minutemen's "King of the Hill."
And thanks, Tina!
Paging HEC!! Major haircut alert!
::is alert::
I am getting ALL the hair cut off.
::all parts stand at ready::
I am going for the ever-popular angled bob. Shorter in back (but not so short as to require shaving the neck), longer (chunky layers?) up front. I am getting one solid color with highlights on my now totally color-free head.
::thoroughly intrigued::
Anyway. I am now also the proud owner of a digital camera - so there will be pics on Thursday. Yay!
Yay! Hurry Thursday.
Both the "and" and the "&" versions of Parts and Labor are the same band.
Yeah, I figured they were when I saw they were both from the same city. 'Cuz otherwise, confused hipsters would be rioting.
The ten best bands that never existed: [link]
How much do I love that the band that grabs the #1 spot is Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem ?
At first I was thinking that #1 and #2 should be switched, but their text sorta convinced me they're right. Maybe.
I'm right there with you, tommy.
I love their choice for #1. The characters in that band were such wonderful individuals (I picked up the action figure of Zoot, complete with sax and case, for my sax-playing brother, and also love Floyd), and in the Rita Moreno episode from Season 1, she and Animal combine on a version of "Fever" that cracks me up every time. Oh, and the new DVD sets that are out now include some extra music that was never shown on American TV--since the Brits didn't have to worry about commercial breaks, there was always an extra few minutes that would be cut for the Yanks, and Jim Henson used musical numbers that could be sliced with no problem.
