Jon, the Hoodoo Gurus do a great version called "Little Drummer Boy (Up the Khyber)" that I can send to you.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

Hec, you should talk Jilli into going down to SF for the Siouxsie show. Hell, you should go yourself - I think you'll really dig the spy jazz number she does on her album.

Jilli! Come down to San Francisco and see the Siouxsie with me! And JZ and Juliana and other people.

That might be my favorite thing on Beat the Retreat. Though I also really like the version of A Heart Needs a Home. Also liked Bob Mould and Los Lobos.

I may be the only one, but I like REM's cover of "Wall of Death".

I kind of have mixed feelings about that one, Cor. But then I've never really loved their covers because they wind up sounding too R.E.M. to me. Probably Stipe's voice.
Though I did like seeing him sing "Moon River" in concert.

I like that it sounds more like REM than R & L T. It's not a great cover, but it's a simple, tossed-off pleasure. I've yet to meet anyone other R & L T fan who agrees with me on that front, though.

Jon, if it's not too late, one more "Little Drummer Boy": Neutrino on the My Pal God Holiday Record 2.
