also sometimes I like to sing it as "Harbin Wouldn't Run" because of how that's my last name
She wouldn't run because she'd drive the car she got "One Piece at a Time"! (And it didn't cost her a dime!)
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. Joe has the same fondness for "One Piece At A Time" that I do. Though I first heard it on an early Cash tribute album. The one with Marc Almond on it.
also, joe, I got the box!
Pee Wee, Star Wars on the Beach, early R.E.M.! Fun!

Damn straight!
Why can't I find the cd of Mojo Cash Covered with Steve Earle doing "Hardin..."?!?! I can find the case. grrr. stupid inability to put things where they belong/laziness about ripping cds.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
I have Michelle Shocked doing that song, from some tribute or other.

She does "One Piece At A Time" on the above-linked Til Things Are Brighter tribute.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Remember the punk on the bus in Star Trek IV?
Kirk and Spock are on a bus and A Punk With A Boom Box gets on, playing:
Just what is the future? / The things we've done and said? / Let's just push the button / We'd be better off dead / 'Cause I hate you / And I berate you / And I can't wait to get to you / The sins of all the fathers / Being dumped on us, the sons / The only choice we're given is / "How many megatons?" / And I eschew you / And I say *screw* you! / And I hope you're blue too...
And then:
Punk on bus: [plays loud music on a bus]
Kirk: Excuse me.
Punk on bus: [doesn't listen]
Kirk: Excuse me. Would you mind stopping that noise?
Punk on bus: [turns it up louder]
Kirk: [louder and firmer] Excuse me! Would you mind stopping that damn noise?
Punk on bus: [flips him off]
Kirk: [looks at Spock]
Spock: [gives the punk the Vulcan Neck-Pinch, much to the delighted applause of the gratefull bus passengers]
Well, an interview with Punk On Bus: [link]

Silence means security silence means approval
Egad. I just discovered there's a two-volume set of early My Morning Jacket recordings, featuring covers of
- Rocketman
- Take My Breath Away
- West End Girls
- White Rabbit
The Rocketman cover is passable, kind of exploring some new ground (sounds like a maudlin drug song). TMBA is pretty good. The other two are destined for a "good bands doing awful covers" compliation. And man, are they awful.

And I know it's October, but has anyone starting working on their list of best albums/songs of 2005?
