We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Okay, so I've listened a little more to the Symphonic Stones CD. Some more songs that really work as symphonic numbers -- Street Fightin' Man and She's a Rainbow.
Gimme Shelter has grown on me, though it still has a little too much bombast to be perfect.
Paint it Black actually has movements. I would have liked it so much better if they had either taken this idea all the way and actually turned the number into a longer piece with movements, or just picked one of the styles (preferably the fast one, with tabla and Middle Eastern style violin) and stuck with that for the whole song.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Matilda woke up at 5am, so I took her out to the living room this morning and remembered that I had Tivoed Urgh! A Music War.
I hadn't seen it in about 15-20 years.
I had forgotten:
How much XTC sounded like Gang of Four in their early days.
About the existence of Athletico Spizz and "Where's Captain Kirk?"
How cool that English Beat t-shirt is that Sting wears.
How fast Stewart Copeland's hands are.
How zaftig Belinda Carlisle used to be (and cuter for it).
Who that bass player was with the Cramps.

I never understood how Belinda was all curvy when a crazy coke head and how skinny when cleaned up.

Was this post-Barry Andrews? Because I can totally see that. I would think those helium-injected keybs of Andrews would seriously mitigate any Go4 comparisons (despite his ending up with Dave Allen in Shriekback).
